Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research (CROR)
The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) has gained widespread recognition for its research in outcome studies related to measuring the impact of medical rehabilitation over the long term in patients with disabilities. The importance placed on outcome studies in medical rehabilitation has grown dramatically in recent years as clinicians and researchers have been required to find cost-effective means of providing patient care. At RIC, the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research (CROR) is responsible for conducting outcomes research.

Inside: Read about the NIH Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function, which aims to develop brief but comprehensive tools for measuring function across the life span. The first project in our newly funded RRTC examines the NIH Toolbox to ensure that it is accessible to people with a disability. We also highlight Dr. Robert Heaton, neuropsychologist, and former post-doctoral fellow Dr. Susan Magasi.
