This Roosevelt House Faculty Journal series, Advancing Policy to Support Workers with Disabilities, edited by Professor Purvi Sevak, aims to objectively synthesize research that can inform policymakers and other stakeholders of the potential impacts of a range of policy changes on employment of individuals with disabilities. Research to support the series is funded by the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Employment Policy and Measurement, housed at the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire, with partners at the Association of University Centers on Disability, Hunter College, Kessler Foundation, and Mathematica Policy Research. The Center conducts research and knowledge translation activities to improve the employment outcomes of people with disabilities. A special thanks to all our supporters!
