Introductory Statement
We know another tool to use in the international effort to restore more disabled people to activity and usefulness. This booklet describes the methods to be used in preparing proposals for research and related projects in rehabilitation, with the use of foreign currencies credited to the United States in certain countries.
It is my hope that this program will accomplish many things--- that it will produce new data about the nature of disability and how to come overcome the problem involved, that it will encourage and stimulate new attention to the problems of those who are disabled, that it will help to provide ways of those who are disabled, that it will help to provide ways of improving rehabilitation programs, and that it will bring rehabilitation workers in all parts of the world closer together in both their professional and their personal relationships.
It is our hope also that the number of countries which may participate in this program will increase steadily, so that the benefits of all the talents that exist today may be encouraged and supported in a common effort to advance the rehabilitation of the handicapped.
The Vocational Rehabilitation Administration welcome this opportunity to work with rehabilitation groups of other countries and will cooperate in every way possible to make the international rehabilitation research program an effective means of improving the work we do for the disabled men and women of all nations.
