Description

The goal of University of New Hampshire's StatsRRTC is to actively narrow and bridge the divide between the producers and end users of disability statistics, thereby supporting better data collection and more relevant statistics to positively inform programs that serve people with disabilities and, ultimately, to improve conditions for people with disabilities and their families. 

Services Provided

This center conducts comprehensive and integrated research and knowledge translation activities that build upon and upgrade the work conducted under previous grants. Additionally, the RRTC conducts 12 research and 15 knowledge translation projects that build upon the work of past StatsRRTC projects. Several of the research projects focus on the collection of disability statistics and narrow the divide by (a) developing recommendations and tools that improve the identification of the population with disabilities and measurement of services, and (b) conducting experiments to test alternative survey methods.
