Grant recommendation rationale for grantee application G-15228 for the Centre for Disability Law and Policy by the National University of Ireland, Galway

View on DRI

Context

Galway University Foundation received funding from Atlantic for several projects such as the centre for Disability Law and Policy [CDLP] at the National University of Ireland, Galway [NUIG]. Research conducted at CDLP is placed at the disposal of the disability community in Ireland and abroad. Specifically, the centre’s work is to conduct high-quality research on a range of disability policy challenges of critical importance to people with disabilities. It also focuses on providing research that will not only point out problems in policy but offer solutions. The centre’s “compass for change” is the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In 2001, Professor Gerard Quinn, formed an informal research unit on disability law and policy at NUIG. The formation of the CDLP coincides with one of the most intensive periods of disability law reform in Ireland as well as internationally.

In 2008, The Atlantic Philanthropies awarded their second grant amounting €2,800,000 to the Galway University Foundation. Over the course of three years NUIG was to improve disabled people’s access to their rights and services by developing an independent research capacity, a Centre for Disability Law and Policy, to inform future policy, service delivery and advocacy efforts.
