This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (CFDA 93.433) provides $199,948 to the University of Texas at Austin to expand the pool of scholars conducting rigorous research on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in racially and ethnically diverse communities. The 5-year program will train up to six postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds in areas such as ethics, IDD knowledge, research methods, science communication, and grant writing. Key objectives include publishing research papers, presenting at national conferences, developing plain language products for community members, and securing federal grant funding or employment opportunities. The program will leverage the expertise of primary and secondary mentors to provide fellows with a range of research opportunities related to autism/IDD, underserved communities, and racial/ethnic inequities.
