Abstract
There is no simple answer to the question "Where do we go from here?" as raised at the outset of this commentary. However, initially we should: (1) implement a model, such as the PAO model, that has key elements that identify with rehabilitation science but that is broad in scope; (2) quantify the current gaps within this model as they pertain to rehabilitation science and develop specific metrics to quantify when certain capacities are met; and (3) encourage rehabilitation practitioners and scientists to support the role of private foundations and industry in furthering the development of research capacity. I commend the authors and attendees of this meeting for their many contributions contained in this report. I eagerly anticipate a unified effort of the entire rehabilitation community to advance the capacity to perform research in rehabilitation.
