We at BIAIA are excited to partner with Human Services Research Institute (HSRI) on the ACL funded Grassroots Project (The Grassroots Project).

ACL’s Grassroots Project provides people with disabilities and their support networks access to tools, resources, information, and peer-to-peer networking to help them ensure the perspectives, priorities, and preferences of disabled people are reflected in disability policies and service systems in their states and communities.

To help evaluate impact at the individual level, HSRI is asking people at the ground level to complete our Views on Organizing, Influence, and Coalition Engagement (VOICE) Survey. We read the research on civic engagement to learn what other researchers are exploring. Our survey asks people with disabilities and their support networks about:

1) knowledge and perceptions about advocacy;
2) advocacy actions people have taken or will take; and
3) demographic information.

Please note, all information collected is for the purpose of program evaluation. None of the information you provide will be linked to you. All results will be shared in aggregate, meaning the results will be presented in a way that does not identify any specific people. The information provided will remain private and used to help us with the Grassroots Project’s future activities and project design.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and will be available here until August 24, 2026.
