In late April, I attended a meeting titled "Rehabilitation Medicine Summit: Building Research Capacity." The overarching goal of the Summit was to discuss obstacles to and opportunities for research capacity building in the field of rehabilitation, and the intent was to bring together rehabilitation research leaders with others who have a stake in disability research. Attendees reviewed position papers prepared in advance of the Summit and, over 2 days, engaged in in-depth discussion. The specific objective of the Summit was to draft an action agenda that rehabilitation stakeholders could use to strengthen efforts to build research capacity in rehabilitation. For me, the meeting was remarkable in 2 important ways.
First, the planning for this Summit and the composition of its attendees were truly inter-disciplinary. Attendance was by invitation and was limited to 100 invitees drawn from diverse groups, including researchers, practitioners, educators across all major rehabilitation disciplines, and representatives
