Summary
Federal funding delays are threatening disability research and services across the U.S., with the Great Lakes ADA Center at University of Illinois Chicago facing a 73-day countdown before its operations are jeopardized. Researchers and directors warn that these non-partisan delays are harming essential services that millions of people with disabilities rely on, and could lead to job losses and the collapse of institutions that have spent decades advancing disability rights and knowledge under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
