Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative investigation was to gather preliminary data to be used in building a rehabilitation research agenda for the 21st century. Using a focus group interview and an open-ended Internet survey, the researchers explored the perspectives of 63 members of the National Council on Rehabilitation Education (NCRE) regarding the purpose of rehabilitation research, valued contributions in rehabilitation research, research topics that warrant further investigation, and concerns regarding rehabilitation research. In this paper, the authors summarize the findings from their study, discuss strategies for addressing concerns, and explore the next steps to be taken to identify rehabilitation research priorities in the 21st century.
