The purpose of this project is to identify a study group and to convene a workshop of a select group of scientists to address the issues definitions, references, and survey techniques on the demography of scientists and engineers with disabilities. The participants will prepare an agenda and strategy for the development of an implementable methodology to study the demography of disabled scientists and engineers, and suggest interventions to increase the numbers of disabled individuals in science and engineering. The workshop is a first step in fully utilizing a group of individuals who are currently underutilized and to increase their participation in educational programs leading to employment in science and engineering. The papers produced by the workshop will be widely publicized to researchers in the areas of questionnaire and other sampling issues, as well as to the affiliated scientific and engineering societies of AAAS. An additional component of the workshop is a third day to be held in conjunction with the U. S. Bureau of the Census, at which a select sub-group of the participants in the first two workshop days will meet with a number of individuals from the Bureau of the Census to discuss the phrasing of the questions concerning disability in the 1990 Census. These discussions will help in the final formulation of the Census questions concerning disability. These activities have important implications for the current and the future scientific and technological health of the United States. The identification of under-employed, disabled scientists and engineers will help to alleviate present shortages if such persons are appropriately employed. The motivation of young, disabled students will help to increase the shrinking cohort of 22-year-olds from which we will get our future supply of scientists and engineers.

该项目的目的是确定一个研究小组， 召开一个由一批科学家组成的研讨会， 问题的定义、参考资料和调查技术， 残疾科学家和工程师的人口统计。 的 与会者将为会议制定议程和战略， 制定一种可执行的方法， 残疾科学家和工程师的人口统计，并建议 采取干预措施，以增加残疾人的人数， 科学与工程学 该研讨会是全面实施 利用一群目前未被充分利用的人 并增加他们对教育项目的参与 导致在科学和工程领域的就业。 讲习班编写的文件将广为宣传 调查问卷和其他抽样领域的研究人员 问题，以及附属科学和工程 AAAS的社会。 讲习班的另一个组成部分是第三天， 与美国联合举行。S.人口普查局， 前两次讲习班与会者的一个选定分组 几天后，他将与主席团的一些人会面。 人口普查讨论有关问题的措辞 1990年人口普查中的残疾人。 这些讨论将有助于 人口普查问题的最后拟订， 残疾。 这些活动对当前的 以及美国未来的科学和技术健康 States. 确定就业不足、残疾 科学家和工程师将帮助缓解目前的短缺 如果这些人得到适当的雇用。 的动机 年轻，残疾学生将有助于增加萎缩 一群22岁的年轻人，我们将从他们那里获得未来的供应， 科学家和工程师。
