The Canadian Disability Participation Project (CDPP) was a SSHRC-funded (2013-2021) partnership of university, public, private and government sector partners working together to develop evidence-informed strategies to help Canadians with physical disabilities achieve full community participation in employment, mobility and physical activity settings. Our products and resources can be found at cdpp.ca. CDPP provided the foundation for two ongoing SSHRC-funded partnerships, the Mobility, Access, and Participation (MAP) Research Partnership (inclusivemap.ca) and CDPP 2.0: Developing, Implementing and Evaluating Quality Sport, Exercise and Play Experiences for Canadians with Disabilities (cdpp2.ca).
