Create a CORC Research Review Board to coordinate, support and review new evidence-based products and publications – including original CORC research – and assess their effectiveness and impact on policy and practice.
Increase the research capacity of regional DBTACs network to conduct and utilize quality research by modeling such behavior and by providing direct and meaningful consultation to regional DBTACs to facilitate their success.
Coordinate dissemination of regional DBTAC and CORC publications and products in concert with appropriate NIDRR research and dissemination centers.
