Abstract: The goal of this ARRT postdoctoral training program is to increase the number of researchers—especially researchers with disabilities—who are prepared to conduct high-quality rehabilitation research to improve community living and participation outcomes of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Project objectives focus on providing trainees from underrepresented populations the opportunity to: (1) develop and refine their research skills in both qualitative and quantitative research projects in areas with a paucity of research (i.e., community living and participation in IDD); (2) train and engage in stakeholder-engaged research in collaboration with individuals with disabilities; and (3) assume increasingly independent leadership roles that will prepare them for careers as independent researchers and help to remove barriers for future researchers from underrepresented populations. Project outcomes are individualized and based on the career and training goals each postdoctoral scholar sets through their Individualized Development Plans (IDPs). As a part of their IDPs, trainees set specific and attainable goals to develop scientific work products by the end of their fellowship, including at least three publications submitted (≥1 first author) to peer-reviewed scientific journals; at least two scientific presentations to be submitted to professional conferences; a clear language community-facing product based upon their research findings; and a grant application to be submitted by the end of the postdoctoral training period.
