We invite you to become a member of the Center for Engagement in Disability Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (CEDHARS). CEDHARS’ overarching vision is to be a national leader in inclusion science and evidence-based breakthroughs that improve the health and well-being of the more than 60 million people in the U.S. living with a disability. Its mission is to partner with people with disabilities to advance scientific discovery, translational research, education, and engagement in the fields of disability health and rehabilitation sciences.
To help further this mission, we are currently seeking to expand center membership with investigators from various departments and schools across UAB’s campus with an interest in the study of disability health, rehabilitation sciences, and other issues impacting people with disabilities.
Membership includes secondary faculty appointment within the Center.
To maintain CEDHARS membership, individuals are required to:
- attend at least one CEDHARS-sponsored meeting per year and
- collaborate in research efforts with at least one other CEDHARS member per year or
- submit at least one publication, poster, or presentation per year related to disability or disability-related outcomes to a national meeting or journal.
