Based at the University since 1979, the Rural Institute advocates and supports full participation in community life by rural Americans of all ages. From integrated childcare to supported employment, the Institute's wide range of grant-funded research, service and training projects blend innovative approaches and techniques with existing community services.

The Rural Institute is part of the national network of programs funded by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) committed to assisting in the provision of interdisciplinary training, research, service demonstration programs, leverage of funds, and information dissemination which increase and support the independence, productivity, and inclusion into the community of persons with developmental disabilities.

We are located in the lower levels of the Curry Health Center (Student Health Services Building) and Corbin Hall on the Main Campus of The University of Montana.
