Dr. Fujiura's research interests converge on the use of demographics and epidemiology as policy analysis tools in disability. Recent work focuses on issues of poverty, risk, family policy, the intersection of race and ethnicity and disability, and on the statistical surveillance of disability. Current major projects include a NIDRR research and demonstration project on demographic trends and emerging risks in disablement and an epidemiological study of disablement in the third world using data from the World Bank.

He was a 1999 recipient of the National Rehabilitation Association's Switzer Scholar award, and has just completed an appointment to the President’s Committee on Mental Retardation.
