Smith-Kettlewell RERC

The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) at Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco develops new technology and methods for understanding, assessment and rehabilitation of blindness and visual impairment. Our target population consists of persons who are blind, visually impaired, and deaf-blind. Principal funding for the Center is through a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), with additional funding from other grants and sources for projects related to these overall goals.
