This year for the first time, the federally mandated Interagency Committee
on Disability Research (ICDR) is utilizing an innovative Web-based approach
to collect online disability research comments to assist in developing a
federal disability and rehabilitation 2010 research agenda. This
technology-driven approach gives the public a three-week timeframe from
March 27th through April 17th to submit their recommendations.
Additionally, registered participants will be invited to review all comments
submitted and vote on their top 10 concerns in each topic area during the
one-week period from April 22nd through April 29th. Public comments from
stakeholders are the focal point of the disability research recommendations
in the ICDR Annual Report to the President and Congress. For more
information, please review the attached press release and visit
