- W256076809 abstract "An Interview with NIDRR's William Graves It was noticeable soon we sat down to talk that Bill Graves has a commitment to people with disabilities, well a passion for his role. Six months into his tenture the Bush administration's director of the nation's research related to disability and rehabilitation, Bill Graves talked about why he decided to move to Washington to become the Director of the National Institute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). have no tolerance for people who discriminate. I need to knock down the barriers. The bottom line is... I don't like patronizing attitudes. What drives me is NIDRR's mission, which is to empower people with disabilities through research, research products and information. His belief that research is crucial to the lives of people with disabilities is reflected in the fact that one of his first efforts was to develop a dissemination policy for NIDRR through an initiative to guide activities to ensure that information is available to those who need it, whether they be people with disabilities or professionals, and in such a form that it can be used. Graves believes that NIDRR's greatest fault is that it has not been as responsive it could be and that the rehabilitation community has not used or taken advantage of NIDRR because of the perception that it is not practice-related. He wants to change that perception. To begin changing NIDRR, he has borrowed from several models. The first is from the National Institute of Health and involves the use of consensus panels. Consensus panels will bring together service providers, people with disabilities and experts to look publicly at topics or issues with the objective of developing a consensus of the state of the art. The purpose of consensus panels is to sum up the scientific evidence on a particular topic. Panels generally meet for several days, have public hearings, and then issue reports. Bill anticipates that these reports will be released in two forms--one quite technical and the other specifically written for the consumer. The second model is borrowed from the Gerontological Society of America involving an attempt to bring researchers into real life. He has increased funding for a fellows program so that individuals who are researchers can go into the community and other rehabilitation environments and identify research problems and their solutions. This program is a short-term program allowing for increased interaction of researcher and programs for people with disabilities. At the same time, Dr. Graves has not forgotten his roots. He very much wants to make NIDRR responsive to the core of the public rehabilitation service delivery program--the rehabilitation counselor. He sees a need for rehabilitation counselors to have information from ongoing research. …" @default.
