AI Contract Overview
The contract involves a five-year project under the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERC) program, administered by the Administration for Community Living within the Department of Health and Human Services. Its goal is to advance research, development, and evaluation of Artificial Intelligence-driven assistive and rehabilitation technologies that aim to enhance the independence, participation, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities. This initiative addresses the limitations of current assistive technologies, which often lack personalization and adaptability, by leveraging AI and machine learning to create intelligent systems that learn and adjust dynamically to users’ evolving needs. Spanning a 60-month period divided into five annual budget phases, the project seeks to transform static rehabilitation tools into responsive, individualized devices and systems. These AI-powered innovations are intended to remove environmental barriers and improve service effectiveness under the Rehabilitation Act. Communication and coordination for this contract are handled by Thomas Corfman, who serves as the point of contact for interested parties. The initiative underscores a strategic push toward integrating advanced technology into rehabilitation to foster greater autonomy for people with disabilities.

Full Description
The purpose of the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERC) program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by conducting advanced engineering research on and development of innovative technologies that are designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or to remove environmental barriers. The purpose of this RERC is to conduct research on, develop, and evaluate Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven assistive and rehabilitation technologies that enhance independence, participation, and quality of life for people with disabilities. Many existing assistive and rehabilitation technologies lack adaptability, personalization, and seamless integration into daily life. AI and machine learning (ML) offer trans-formative potential to address these gaps by enabling smarter, more responsive, and individualized assistive and rehabilitation technologies. AI-driven innovations in assistive and rehabilitation technology can shift them from static tools to dynamic, intelligent systems that continuously learn and adapt in real time to individual preferences, needs, and changing abilities. This grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
