ILRU RTC Progress Report
Submitted by Margaret A. Nosek, Ph.D.
February 7, 1996
FUNDING OF ILCs
Gail Chanpong has completed analyses of data on ILC funding from the ILRU surveys of 1992
and 1994. The findings are included in a brochure she has prepared summarizing the survey of
1994. Drafts of this brochure have been distributed to staff at ILRU for review. Gail has met
twice with Laura Smith about project activities and once with Laura, Quentin, Laurel, and
Cynthia to discuss data available on the 704 reports. The decision was made that the ILRU
biennial survey of ILCs is now redundant and should be discontinued. We are awaiting a disk
from Laurel that contains current 704 data before analyses can proceed. Gail is preparing an
abstract to submit to ACRM for a poster to present the findings of these analyses.
MINORITIES
Analyses have been completed to identify ILCs serving greater than the mean percentage of
consumers who are African American. These analyses has been incorporated in the brochure
described above. Progress on completing the article with Diane Mosely of Texas Southern
University had to be halted when a virus was discovered on the disk containing the only working
copy of the article. Efforts are underway to cure the virus or secure a clean copy of the article on
disk. The application for IRB approval is near completion, pending resolution of methodological
questions described below. The literature search has been completed and is being prepared for
submission to the Journal of Rehabilitation.
Serious questions have arisen about the design of this study. After consultation with an expert in
qualitative data collection who is currently conducting a study of minorities with disabilities, three
flaws in the design became evident. First, face to face interviewing is essential for building
rapport. Telephone interviews of consumers will not suffice. Second, it is essential to have
minority status and gender matched peers as interviewers. Third, it is helpful to control for
geographic context. Issues of independence may vary considerably in different sections of the
country for reasons that characterize the local disability movement as well as the local African-
American movement. For these primary reasons, I recommend that we return to a modified
version of our original proposal. I propose that we conduct a local focus group of 5 African-
American women and another one of 5 African-American men. We will need additional funds to
secure the consultation of an African-American man and woman with a disability to conduct the
focus groups. Project staff will transcribe and analyze the interview data and send our report to
10 ILCs that serve a substantial number of African Americans. We will ask them to designate a
minority staff member with a disability to comment on the report. If additional funds are available
from ILRU, we could ask them to convene their own local focus groups (men and women
separately) to discuss the report.

OVERVIEW OF PROJECTS
ILRU RESEARCH & TRAINING CENTER ON MANAGEMENT
OF CENTERS FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
ILRU RTC ON INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTER MANAGEMENT AND SERVICES
For the current five-year funding period (1995-2000), the Research and Training Center on
Independent Living Center Management and Services at ILRU will operate nine projects intended to fulfill
stated proposed objectives. Project staff recognize that although some methods may be adapted to meet
arising needs throughout the course of operationalizing goals, stated objectives will continue to guide all
project activities.
The primary objective of the RTC at ILRU during the next five years of project funding is to
enhance the scope and quality of independent living services provided through consumer-controlled,
community-based independent living centers located throughout the country.
1. Model Approaches for Planning, Managing, and Evaluating Independent Living Services in
Accordance with National Standards and Performance Indicators.
PURPOSE
Through various research and training activities of previous years, and from many request for
further information regarding the recently published indicators of compliance with the Rehab Act, ILRU
staff recognize the pervasive need for further research into these issues. Specific requests include how to
complete the 704 report in ways that information submitted to the federal government will well inform the
funding process.
Input from the field suggests that a well-constructed reporting process will engage centers in a
planning process that serves center needs successfully and remains true to independent living philosophy.
Part of such a process involves efficiency of center resources and a move to improved competency with
electronic data collection instruments.
Given the changing environment within the field of independent living, and within the country at
large, centers face a complex range of management, reporting and record keeping obligations that must be
responsive to new governmental, cultural, and economic conditions.
It is expected that by disseminating as broadly as possible all new information generated by
research activities and by designing future training curricula to be responsive to research outcomes, that
centers will be able to strengthen their organizational structures and to meet new challenges with improved
success.
A second important objective for this project involves addressing general management needs,
particularly by encouraging the use of innovative management strategies currently employed in many other
for-profit and not-for-profit corporations. It is expected that introducing such strategies will foster greater
stability in centers, more efficient use of resources, and a stronger competitive edge. Companion pieces to

management alternatives to be offered will include materials and training opportunities related to financial
diversification.
SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES
The following are specific issues to be addressed through project activities.
Evaluating and addressing center needs related to compliance with the indicators for centers as
outlined in the Rehab Act. This assessment will be conducted through a variety of methods
including but not limited to structured interviews with executive directors.
Examining responses to requests for information on the recently published 704 report for provision
of meaningful data to federal funding sources and for congruence of report results to center
planning and evaluation activities.
Identifying center management needs and presenting innovative strategies for dealing with them,
i.e., total quality management/continuous quality management (TQM/CQM).
Disseminating all findings, resources, support materials through appropriate media.
2. Improving the Cultural Competence of Independent Living Centers to Serve Ethnic Minority
Populations.
PURPOSE
This project focuses on assessing the responsiveness of centers to ethnic, gender, and other
cultures and subcultures in both outreach and in direct service provision. In addition, generalizations about
the cultural competence of center staff regarding cross-cultural as well as cross-disability issues may be
drawn by way of analysis of data reported by centers and by careful study of specific communities and the
centers that serve them.
Information gained from this project will inform training and technical assistance efforts aimed at
improving the capacity of centers and staff to evaluate, address, and meet the needs of consumers
presenting a variety of cultural perspectives in ways that are most accessible, effective, and appropriate.
SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES
Four ethnic minority cultures have been targeted for research activities, one each per year
providing the focus population: African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asian Americans.
Subgroups within each population will receive attention as well, particularly with regard to group-specific
social or economic barriers in place regardless of disability. Activities for achieving project goals include
the following.
Identifying culturally relevant attitudes and behaviors toward independence and disability and
matching center services to increase community capacity in appropriate manners.
Evaluating and seeking to enhance staff ability to identify service gaps, explore culturally relevant
methods for outreach, and provide services as needed in appropriate formats to consumers from
various minority cultures.
Disseminate all findings regarding service needs identified within targeted communities and

relevant attitudes and behaviors toward independent living among persons with disabilities in
minority cultures.
3. Innovative Strategies for Recruiting, Training, and Retraining Independent Living Center Staff.
PURPOSE
Centers face the constant dilemma of training and retraining staff-persons with diverse
educational, cultural, and employment backgrounds, and with a variety of cross-disabilities. While this
diversity holds promise for successful delivery of services to an equally diverse consumer population,
adequate and appropriate training needs pose complex difficulties.
There are several that scem endemic to center staffing concerns. Prior discrimination in
employment and educational settings often results in diminished opportunities to develop work skills for
some people with disabilities or from other minority groups, particularly at the entry-level. In addition, a
range of accommodations may be required to offer training equitably, often requiring increased
commitment of staff time. Finally, center resources must be allocated in the most cost- and time-efficient
manner possible; hard decisions must often be made in the face of massive need for training and limited
resources with which to meet these needs.
This project will focus on a number of innovative techniques for delivering training and retraining
for center staff, some already in use in other settings, others to be designed for specifically identified needs.
Feasibility of offering independent living curricula withing existing post-secondary educational settings
will be explored, as will methods and impact of implementing fully accredited degree or certification
programs.
SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES
Many of the most often identified training needs of center staff and management are well known to
project staff through information gleaned from evaluation of previous training programs offered to the
field, through narrative data provided by centers on the annual 704 report, and from the nearly 10,000
specific requests for technical assistance received by project staff in each of the previous five years of
funding. Once priorities are confirmed as relevant for each year of the current funding cycle, training
curricula designed to meet these needs will be piloted and evaluated for entry-level staff.
Specific activities include the following.
Incorporating and testing distance learning techniques, already shown to be cost-efficient, time-
efficient, and most important, readily adaptable to a variety for accessible formats and learning
styles, into the design of all training curricula. These techniques may include interactive audio and
visual teleconferencing, online courses, and train-the-trainer networks.
Evaluating cost-effectiveness of innovative techniques for delivering training to center staff,
particularly as they relate to various sources of funding that can be used in support of these efforts
from entry-level to graduate or post-graduate certification.
Forming cooperative relationships with existing adult educational entities, particularly those
exploring innovative strategies for reaching large numbers of people with a broad range of learning
needs and capacities.
4. Assessing Factors Influencing the Successful Functioning of Governing Boards and Testing
Strategies for Improvement in the Field.

P.04/07
ILRU
14:16 966I-S0-833
PURPOSE
Areas most frequently mentioned by executive directors and management personnel at centers as
most problematic are board relations and governorship. This project will focus on general management
and development issues, will explore at alternative board structures, will seek out exemplary board/staff
interactions, and will develop training and informative materials to address further needs identified through
specific project activities.
SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES
Research and training activities will include the following items.
Identifying existing board/staff cooperatives that have shown consistent growth and stability.
Exploring and testing alternative board structures at several demonstration sites, and assessing
results from the perspectives of board members, management staff, and others involved in center
operations.
Disseminating results of research and demonstration components to the field.
5. Enhancing Independent Living Center/Vocational Rehabilitation Agency Collaboration.
PURPOSE
This project will examine successful IL/VR collaborations as service delivery models in order to
determine what benefits such 8 system can offer, as well as what compromises are made in order for two
philosophically divergent types of organizations to work well together in identifying and meeting the needs
of a common consumer base.
SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES
Project activities will be primarily research, data collection, and demonstration
Examining existing data on IL/VR collaborative relationships, including co-location of staff,
shared planning responsibilities, and other approaches. Identifying successful models and
disseminating materials to support replication in other settings.
Implementing IL/VR collaborative demonstration projects, examining issues that arise related to
service delivery and policy matters, assessing outcomes and processes.
Develop and disseminate materials related to state and federal policies, reporting requirements, and
consumer rights in accessing IL/VR services.
6. Documenting Operations of Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs) and Implications for
Delivery of Independent Living Services.
PURPOSE
This project has two primary goals: to create a research base of information regarding SILC
structures and processes with which to inform future RSA-funded training and technical assistance efforts,
and to identify barriers to effective SILC operations. Key to reaching these goals will be fostering
chhanced working relationships among SILC partners in the state IL planning process.

SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES
Activities involve conducting research activities beginning with existing data and continuing to
generate a more complete and accurate picture of SILC structures, funding sources, and staffing on a
national scope. Research data will be used as a base for federally-funded national training and technical
assistance programs. Activities include the following.
Gathering demographic information from SILC members and staff nationwide.
Exploring variations in structures, funding sources, and planning processes.
Examining interagency conflict in state planning and approval process as well as strategies that can
be used to resolve them
Conducting a comparison of "722" versus "723" states with regard to funding priorities and
administrative issues.
Evaluating implications of RSA Title VII funding decisions and issues of noncompliance in the
state planning and allocation of resources.
7. The Role of Independent Living Centers in Assisting Youth with Disabilities in Transitioning
from School to Independence in the Community.
PURPOSE
The purposes of this project are to collect information regarding exemplary programs offered by
centers and targeted at youth with disabilities making the transition from school to community living and to
make information and technical support available to centers seeking to provide these services.
SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES
Project activities are directed toward research, demonstration, and dissemination of information.
Identifying efforts by centers for independent living to assist youth in transition and gaps in
services available.
Constructing and analyzing models for transitional services provided by centers.
Testing and replicating successful programs to address identified needs.
Identifying policy issues that cannot be addressed through the project's training and technical
assistance efforts.
8. Analysis of Independent Living Center Funding Patterns and Strategies for Enhancing Funding
from Public and Private Sources.
PURPOSE
This project seeks to enhance centers' ability to comply with RSA specifications that require
raising funds from sources other than Title VII. Selected centers demonstrating solid funding
diversification programs will be reviewed for the strengths of such efforts, for replicability, and for
commitment to independent living philosophy.

new material for dissemination to the field.
9. Assuring Coordination with the Activities conducted through the RSA-funded National Training
and Technical Assistance Project.
PURPOSE
The final project proposes to promote coordination between research and training efforts offered
by the RTC with RSA-funded training and technical assistance activities as required by the 1992 Rehab
Act. Through use of a matrix to be designed for tracking many similar but programmatically different
projects, likelihood of duplication of effort will be minimized
SPECIFIC ISSUES/ACTIVITIES

Outline of Year One Work Objectives and Project Activities for RCT project "Enhancing ILC/VR
Agency Collaboration:
1) construct a brief letter/survey form and send to all (or selected number) of VR agencies asking for
input regarding their current working relationships related to collaborative VR/IL service provision
and ask for their willingness to participate in the RTC project.
2) once survey data is obtained select set number of states which have tested or are utilizing
collaborative service models and are willing to participate in the study--in addition to California and
Alaska--two states already identified to participate in the project because of their current service
model. Within each selected state select set number of ILCs (in some states this could be all ILCs) to
participate in the project and provide input regarding collaborative service models. In addition, a set
number of VR agencies will be selected who have not established or implemented any collaborative
service models.
3) develop and conduct a structured phone interview for VR agency administrators and staff who are
currently participating in collaborative VR/ILC service provision to obtain input regarding how the
model was constructed, how the model was implemented, how long the model has been in place, and
current outcomes of the model.
4) develop and conduct structured phone interviews of select ILC staff, consumers of ILCs, and
members of the state's SILC who are participating with their state VR agency in collaborative service
delivery models.
5) develop and conduct structured phone interviews of VR staff from selected agencies who have not
implemented any type of collaborative service models with ILCs, and conduct phone interviews with
staff and consumers from selected ILCs in states of these VR agencies.
6) select a set number of VR agencies who do not have in place any collaborative service delivery
models and obtain client service processes and outcome data.
7) compare some set of client process and outcome data from VR agencies currently using some type
of collaborative service delivery model with data from VR agencies who have used any VR/ILC
collaborative models.
8) analyze information obtained from phone interviews along with obtained service delivery outcome
data from selected VR agencies to determine how useful and functional these collaborative service
models seem to be in terms of VR client employment and IL goal outcomes, what if any effect the
model has had on the timeliness and convenience of services, and what if any effect the model has had
on cost related factors.
9) select a small number of VR agencies, in addition to California and Alaska, who appear to have
useful working models in place which have received positive outcomes and positive feedback from VR
staff, ILC staff, and consumers to participate in an more in-depth study and assist in the development
of a service model which can be replicated in other states.

Staff needed to complete these project activities: Laura Smith, Tajauna Dunning, Lex Frieden, and
Quentin Smith (Quentin's assistance will be needed in reviewing developed surveys and in the
development of a data analysis tool) and Earl Walden to assist in conducting the phone surveys with
VR agencies, ILC staff, consumers, and SCIL members.
Outline of Year One Work Objectives and Project Activities for RTC project "Analysis of ILC
Funding Patterns and Strategies for Enhancing Funding from Public & Private Sources:
1) get a copy of the current ILRU survey data on funding of ILCs, contact Gail at Women's Center to
get a copy of the revised survey currently being developed, get input from appropriate ILRU staff
regarding questions related to ILC funding currently on the survey, and make recommendations for
revising or adding questions to the survey as needed in order to ensure that information related to ILC
funding diversification can be obtained.
2) request copies of recently generated RSA 704 reports and begin to analyze data related to ILC
funding issues and begin attempting to answer questions outlined in the proposal, page 120.
3) complete an analysis of outcome data from the ILRU/RWJ program project sites to assess the
Centers current funding pattern and how they compare with other ILCs, what project activities where
successful and have potential for replication by other ILCs, what strategies were used by the project
sites to ensure that their mission was not compromised in the Center's attempt to move toward an
entrepreneurial focus, and what types of expertise and support are needed for other Centers to be
successful in implementing a plan for diversified funding.
4) work with the RWJ program "evaluators" to review and examine external evaluation activities and
outcomes for all 11 project sites.
5) based on information obtained from RSA and ILRU survey identify a set of other ILCs around the
country who have demonstrated success in diversifying their funding base, develop a well structured
case study method, and develop a schedule to conduct a thorough case study of 3-4 of these Centers
using accepted case study methods to determine how successes can be shared with the IL: field while
helping other Centers to avoid the errors made so that lessons can be learned from the experiences of
these successful Centers.
6) begin to share outcome data from the ILRU/RWJ project with the IL field using ILRU Insights,
DIMENET, presentations, and by submitting articles to appropriate journals.
7) begin to develop some general conclusions regarding funding diversification strategies and
materials which can be used to support demonstration projects and develop a schedule and plan
outlining demonstration activities in selected IL Centers.
Staff needed to complete these project activities: Laura Smith, Tajauna Dunning, Gail Chanpong,
Quentin Smith, and Lex Frieden.

RE:
ILRU RTC Budget
I received the fax of the budget for the research division of the ILRU RTC. It has been
cut far more seriously than the single position you mentioned. I am enclosing the budget I
submitted to you when the grant was due in July. Please note the last two columns which
indicate the amounts you negotiated with NIDRR and the difference from our original request.
It seems that of the $50,000 you needed to cut, $30,000, or 60% of it, was cut from our
budget, reducing the resources put into research to a mere 10% of the total RTC effort. I respect
the tradition of ILRU to focus more heavily on training than research, but this is extreme and, I
believe, incompatible with the intent of NIDRR.
I would like to discuss with you three points:
revising the budget 50 that the major burden of reduction is not placed on projects under
our responsibility,
establishing procedures so that we will have input on budget decisions effecting our
projects, and
establishing procedures so that we will have input on modifications of the scope of work
on our projects.

RE:
ILRU RTC Budget
I received the fax of the budget for the research division of the ILRU RTC. It has been
cut far more seriously than the single position you mentioned. I am enclosing the budget I
submitted to you when the grant was due in July. Please note the last two columns which
indicate the amounts you negotiated with NIDRR and the difference from our original request.
It seems that of the $50,000 you needed to cut, $30,000, or 60% of it, was cut from our
budget, reducing the resources put into research to a mere 10% of the total RTC effort. I respect
the tradition of ILRU to focus more heavily on training than research, but this is extreme and, I
believe, incompatible with the intent of NIDRR.
I would like to discuss with you three points:
revising the budget so that the major burden of reduction is not placed on projects under
our responsibility,
establishing procedures so that we will have input on budget decisions effecting our
projects, and
establishing procedures so that we will have input on modifications of the scope of work
on our projects.
