Disability Inclusive Employment Policy Rehabilitation Research and Training Center
Publications and Research from the 2020 – 2025 Grant Cycle
The Disability Inclusive Employment Policy Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (DIEP RRTC) was funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR, grant #90RTEM0006-01-00) in the U.S. Department for Health and Human Services. Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University, Harvard Medical School, and Rutgers University are partnering to design and implement a series of studies that produce new data and evidence on DIEP policy to increase employment rates and outcomes for persons with disabilities.
The DIEP-RRTC examined federal, regional, state, and private industry policies and programs to identify critical outcomes and impacts that improve employment entry options, better wage and income levels, worker retention and job quality and benefits, career growth and paths to economic stability, employment reengagement in the event of job loss and reduced dependence on Social Security disability benefits.
We identify ways to help people with disabilities successfully re-enter the workforce.
Find ways to improve job happiness and keep employees employed and fulfilled.
