The CRIR, a unique research center!

 

CRIR - Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire en réadaptation du Montréal métropolitain

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montréal (CRIR) stands out for the excellence, scope and diversity of its research in rehabilitation, as well as for its interdisciplinary, intersectoral and knowledge mobilization initiatives.

It is an exceptional multidisciplinary research team with 120 regular and associate researchers divided into two research axes and more than 190 clinician/healthcare professionals who collaborate on various research projects. CRIR’s university researchers also supervise or co-supervise over 500 students. CRIR researchers and their teams are grouped in more than 59 laboratories and research groups located at various CRIR sites (CRLLM, HJR, INLB, IURDPM).

 

  • CRIR members are grouped according to CRIR’s two main axes, where interdisciplinarity is at the heart of the projects for the diverse clientele served by each of the clinical settings:
    • Axis 1: Sensory, motor and cognitive functions and activities
    • Axis 2: Participation, social inclusion and rehabilitation services

These two axes are directly related to the clinical programming of the CRIR sites and the needs expressed by people with physical disabilities and their families, caregivers and communities. Find out more about CRIR’s research areas HERE.

Most regular CRIR researchers hold a faculty position at the Université de Montréal (UdeM), McGill University (McGill) or the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). In addition, CRIR’s research members include professors from other Quebec universities such as Concordia University, Université de Sherbrooke,   Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) and École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS).
