Research
Evidence-Based Practice advocates that every rehabilitation and health professional should have an interest in delivering the best possible services to their customers—based whenever possible on the best clinical practices available from the strongest research evidence (Chan et al, 2009).
RRTC Researchers focus on identifying innovative practices that improve employment rates and quality of employment for people with disabilities who receive vocational rehabilitation (VR) services from state agencies. The level of evidence on which practices are based fall on a continuum and can gain evidence strength through the interaction of practitioners with researchers.

Practice
Research needs practitioners!
“The practitioner is the vehicle through which an intervention is translated from a description in a book or an article to an active process with a client.” (Pettus, et al (2011)
Research needs practitioners in order for it be relevant. For this to happen, researchers must present information clearly. Then, practitioners must be able to evaluate the research and determine if it’s relevant to an individual consumer, apply an intervention, evaluate the outcome, and provide feedback to the researchers.
