Research in Disabilities Education (RDE)
Overview
The Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) program supports efforts to
increase the participation and achievement of persons with disabilities
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education
and careers. Meritorious projects from a diversity of institutions are
supported via RDE demonstration, enrichment, and information
dissemination (RDE-DEI) standard grants. Promising research efforts may
then be developed further via continuing grants under the
focused-research initiatives (RDE-FRI) program track. Finally, broadly
applicable methods and products are disseminated for widespread use,
commercialization, or inclusion in the activities of program-sponsored
Regional Alliances for persons with disabilities in STEM education
(RDE-RAD). RDE Alliances serve to inform the public, government, and
industry about proven-good practices in the classroom, promote broader
awareness of disabilities issues, and define specific areas of
accessibility and human learning in need of further attention by
educators and the research community.
