Project FORWARD: Where Vocational Rehabilitation Can Make a Difference through Community-Based Participatory Research.
Review in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePractitioners in vocational rehabilitation (VR) and college disability counselors often face challenges connecting highly educated individuals with disabilities to employment that aligns with their skills and training. Building equitable partnerships between service agencies and employers is essential to creating effective supported employment programs. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) offers a promising approach to strengthen these partnerships and reduce underemployment among college graduates with disabilities. This article introduces the use of CBPR in VR through the development of a supported employment model.
methodsFollowing CBPR principles, we partnered with universities, industry stakeholders, and young adults with disabilities to co-develop and implement Project FORWARD. This supported internship program aimed to help college graduates with disabilities transition into competitive employment in the semiconductor industry through collaborative planning of recruitment, internship structure, and workplace support.
resultsWe outline three core features of CBPR and present five strategies for building partnerships at different research stages. Project FORWARD serves as a case example demonstrating how CBPR can address both employer and participant needs through flexible internship design, with clear protocols for recruitment, training, and accommodation. We also discuss practical considerations for researchers applying CBPR in VR contexts.
conclusionCBPR provides a valuable framework for advancing VR research by promoting collaboration, equity, and community relevance. It bridges the goals of academic and industry partners while supporting the co-creation of meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Future research should focus on sustaining long-term community partnerships and developing inclusive employment interventions.
