What is this project about?
People with disabilities often rely on long-term support services to remain independent. Long-term support services are offered by Area Agencies on Aging(AAAs) and Centers for Independent Living(CILs).
We know that formalized networks of community-based providers are able to improve access and delivery of services. Creating a formalized network of AAAs and CILs, such as a CBRN may help increase communication and reduce gaps in service delivery.
Project Goals
- Form a community-based research network in Missouri that represents urban and rural communities and serve a diverse population.
- Begin our first research study.
- Continue running research studies and make sure that CILs and AAAs are able to use the results.
