This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $507,163 to The Ohio State University to conduct research on the impact of ableist discrimination and state anti-discrimination laws on equitable access to kidney transplantation for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD).

Key objectives include: 1) Determining the efficacy of state laws prohibiting ableist discrimination in closing disparities in kidney transplant access between candidates with and without IDD; 2) Identifying patient factors that compound with ableism to disproportionately limit transplant access and increase dialysis time for those with IDD; and 3) Comparing the stated reasons for transplant exclusion between patients with and without IDD. The research team will leverage national Medicare claims data and electronic health records to achieve these aims. Sub-awards to the University of Cincinnati and University of Wisconsin-Madison will support data collection, analyses, and dissemination activities.
