4. Performance Measures: To evaluate 

the overall success of its research 

program, NIDRR assesses the quality of 

its funded projects through review of 

grantee performance and products. Each 

year, NIDRR examines, through expert 

review, a portion of its grantees to 

determine: 

• The degree to which the grantees 

are conducting high-quality research, as 

reflected in the appropriateness of study 

designs, the rigor with which accepted 

standards of scientific and engineering 

methods are applied, and the degree to 

which the research builds on and 

contributes to the level of knowledge in 

the field; and 

• The number of new or improved 

assistive and universally designed 

technologies, products, and devices 

developed by grantees that are deemed 

to improve rehabilitation services and 

outcomes, enhance opportunities for 

participation by individuals with 

disabilities, and are successfully 

transferred to industry or other private 

entities for potential commercialization.
