Overview
For nearly fifty years, the Institute on Rehabilitation Issues (IRI) has been a national forum for discussing important challenges facing the state-federal vocational rehabilitation (VR) programs and the community rehabilitation program partners. The Institute on Rehabilitation Issues (IRI) is a singular activity where human resource directors, administrators, practitioners, and academicians with expertise in a specific area of VR meet to thoroughly discuss a particular topic. An IRI publication follows that is used in training staff in state VR agencies and community rehabilitation programs, as well as in training university students and service delivery personnel in other VR settings.

Participation in the IRI Prime Study Groups is a honor bestowed on individuals who meet the highest standards of professionalism, demonstrate knowledge, skills and abilities in discussing VR issues, and demonstrate the ability in formulating written IRI documents containing the results of their Prime Study Group assignments.
