Submissions to the 2019 KT Casebook Still Welcome
Do you have an innovative KT strategy that shows measurable results? Share the success behind your strategy with fellow National Institute on Disability, Independent Living,
and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) grantees in the seventh edition of the KT Casebook. The
KT Casebook highlights what grantees across all of NIDILRR’s portfolios are doing in the KT area. Its goals include:
- Learning from one another’s experiences
- Making connections with other grantees that will facilitate and expand KT actions
- Gaining new ideas about KT strategies being used by other grantees
- Identifying KT examples focused on stakeholders or target audiences of interest
- Expanding awareness of KT accomplishments achieved by NIDILRR grantees
If you are a NIDILRR grantee interested in submitting an entry for the seventh edition of the KT Casebook, please let us know. We will contact you with more information about how to develop your entry.
Join Us for the Upcoming
Online Meeting of the TA Network
Attention all NIDILRR grantees: We invite you to participate in an online meeting of the Technical Assistance (TA) Network, which will take place on May 14, 2019 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The discussion will build from last December’s TA Network meeting that covered topics such as using social media effectively in dissemination activities; digital dissemination tools, such as infographics, podcasts, and videos; and the use of online platforms to promote group discussions.
The goal of the TA Network is to provide NIDILRR grantees with opportunities to communicate with one another and to share information about their KT activities, successes, and challenges. TA Network meetings are designed to be highly interactive, and agenda topics are determined by the group’s needs and interests.
For more information or to register for this May’s TA Network online meeting, please e-mail Joann Starks or Ariana Hammersmith.
