Research Funding Schemes

Research Promotion Grant Scheme

Our Research Promotion Scheme helps us deliver high-quality research on disability in Ireland. This scheme runs every two years depending on the budget availability at the time.

NDA Research Promotion Scheme 2021-22

The theme for the 2021/22 Research Promotion Scheme is ‘Assistive Products and Consumer Products that Support Choice and Control for Persons with Disabilities’.

We awarded funding to the following two research projects:

1. University College Cork: "A User-Centred Exploration of the Assistive Potential of Digital Voice Assistants for People with Disabilities in Ireland".
   

2. The National University of Ireland, Galway: "Assistive and Consumer Products for as Supplementary Reading Instruction for Children with Disabilities: Current Status & Potential for Application in Practice".

The final research reports will be uploaded to the website when they’re completed.
