Disability Inclusion in Research Collaboration (DIRECT)

DIRECT is a global and interdisciplinary team of researchers committed to advancing
disability inclusion in health research. We recently drew on existing literature and our lived and professional experiences to publish a global call to action for disability inclusion in health research. Our efforts focus on three key challenge areas to disability inclusion we identified in our call to action: monitoring disability inclusion, the research cycle, and the research and advisory workforce.
