Abstract
Individuals with disabilities are significantly underrepresented in research and are often not included in discussions on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. The Advisory Committee to the National Institutes of Health Director Working Group on Diversity formed an ad hoc Subgroup on Individuals with Disabilities to develop recommendations on how to enhance the inclusion of people with disabilities in the scientific workforce as well as throughout the research ecosystem. The article summarizes those recommendations and how they came about, then contextualizes them for the spinal cord injury (SCI) research field. Other fields that do not typically include individuals with disabilities in research can learn from the strong history of including people with SCI as research participants. There has been a growing drive within our field to enhance the inclusion of people living with SCI as research partners, but how are we doing with promoting their inclusion in the scientific workforce?
