AccessERC Community of Practice

The participants from the 2016 AccessERC CBI make up some of the AccessERC Community of Practice.

Populated with individuals who work at NSF-funded Engineering Research Centers across the United States, members

• discuss how to recruit participants with disabilities and accommodate them in their programs and activities;
• recruit their student participants with disabilities into disability-related e-mentoring, internships, and workshops to complement their activities;
• discuss the implementation of universal design to make facilities, products, and activities more welcoming and accessible to individuals with disabilities;
• discuss best practices and resources identified at capacity-building institutes; and
• share ideas about seed grants, new initiatives, and lessons learned.
