DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning)
Overview
Disabled people, their organisations, academics and partners in Northern Ireland are being invited to apply for grants for research and pilot projects to find out how disabled people can participate fully in society, achieving independent living. People with disabilities will be at the forefront of designing projects (with academics and policy and practice experts), for the programme.
Proposals are assessed by a National Advisory Group, with a Central Research Committee made up of disabled people, academics and policy experts making a final decision on which projects receive funding.
Organisations can apply for up to £150,000 from the DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning) programme, which was expected to fund around 40 projects across the UK during its lifetime and is now in its final call and looking for proposals for research or pilot projects on one of the following themes:
-
the economy
-
civic and public life
-
community and social life
-
anything else!
