CIRRIE wins renewal grant
October 25, 2005
CIRRIE, the Center for International Rehabilitation Research Information and Exchange at UB, has received a $2.5 million, five-year competitive renewal grant from the National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research.
The grant, funded by the U.S. Department of Education as part of its Knowledge Dissemination and Utilization Program, will allow the center to continue its mission of making the rehabilitation research community in the United States more aware of useful developments in other countries and to promote collaboration with colleagues outside of the U.S.
The center accomplishes these goals by facilitating the exchange of ideas, information and rehabilitation personnel. John Stone, clinical associate professor of rehabilitation sciences, is center director.
