An internal research department was established in the course of an organisational reform of the Pension Insurance Institution in 2020 for the evidence-based development of its own services in Austria. The focus is on the transfer of findings into practice and the scientific community. As part of an initial assessment of the current situation, an organisation-specific research agenda is being systematically developed. The project design is based on a multi-perspective and multi-method approach. After obtaining experts' opinions (interview) from different settings and areas, a consensus on necessary fields of action will be worked out after synthesising the results via a Delphi survey.

Identification of priorities in applied rehabilitation research
Semi-structured, guideline-based expert interviews with representatives of different stakeholder groups from Austria, Germany and Switzerland are conducted. The transcribed interviews are extracted and evaluated within the framework of a qualitative content analysis according to Gläser \& Laudel (2010). Additionally, based on a scoping review on international research priorities and research agendas in the context of rehabilitation, potentially not considered content will be identified and supplemented.
Time frame: April 2021 - November 2021
Weighting of the identified priorities in research
A Delphi survey is conducted with (1) the interview partners and rehabilitation researchers and (2) other representatives of different stakeholder groups from Austria, Germany and Switzerland to evaluate the priorities of the developed research field. The experts are consulted repeatedly until a consensus can be obtained.
Time frame: May 2023 - August 2023
