Welcome to the MIG-RATS homepage! The MIG-RATS provide resources and support to the ongoing research activities of the Medicaid Infrastructure Grants (MIGs). The central feature of the MIGs is to support employment for people with disabilities. Our research efforts focus on employment, disability, and related services. This website is designed to help you find useful research reports and resources, learn about current MIG-RATS activities and initiatives, and connect with fellow MIG reseachers.

The Kessler Foundation and the National Organization on Disability have released the findings from the
2010 Survey of Americans with Disabilities. This survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, compares several dimensions of quality of life for people with and without disabilities and tracks them over time. Among the dimensions considered are employment, income, transportation, and health care.
A new addition to the Resources section of our website is
ICI's National Report on Employment Services and Outcomes (
updated with 2009 data). The book provides national and state level statistics spanning a twenty-year period. Its sources include several data sets that address the status of employment and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with ID/DD.
