Mathematica Policy Research (MPR) and several partners including SVRI were recently awarded a 5-year grant project. This federally funded grant project will provide evaluation and Technical Assistance (TA) services to state grantees participating in the Disability Innovation Fund - Pathways to Partnerships Model Demonstration Projects awarded by the U.S. Department of Education Rehabilitation Services Administration. This collaboration extends over a five-year period, with a total award of $780,000 to SVRI. The primary mission of this grant is to deliver national Technical Assistance (TA) to state model demonstration projects that are dedicated to establishing systemic approaches for transition services benefiting children and youth with disabilities. This collaborative effort creates a “Wisconsin Team” that leverages the strengths of the University of Wisconsin-Stout Vocational Rehabilitation Institute and the evaluation expertise at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Other collaborative partners on this federal grant include the University of Maryland Center for Transition and Career Innovation, M. Davis and Company, and TransCen Inc.
