美国科学促进会科学、技术和 残疾人正在进行一个项目， 制作和分发《联合国海洋法公约 科学家和工程师资源目录， 残疾人。 目前的目录，发表在 1987年，已经过时，缺乏许多数据， 杰出的残疾科学家和工程师 AAAS自出版以来已经确定的人 最后一版。 名单所列的一些人， 第二版有新学位或职位， 有些人已经去世了。 需要一个新版本，以便 残疾学生、教师、管理人员， 辅导员，家庭，项目官员和 雇主可以与在职科学家建立网络， 残疾工程师， 消除障碍的知识和经验 成功地管理他们的教育和入学 成为科学或工程师 1990年美国残疾人法案 需要公共设施和项目 方便残疾人使用。 的 将在资源中列出的个人 董事会熟悉这项法律，甚至 在其成立之前， 提供无障碍技术援助 问题. 他们将通过 目录，以协助其他人在重组其 科学和工程环境。 该项目的产品将有三个：一个打印 版本的资源目录，另一种 格式（磁盘）版本的资源目录， 盲人或印刷障碍者，以及 残疾科学家和工程师， NSF计划使用的科学学科磁盘 挑选同行审评员和委员会的官员 成员 修订版将通过以下方式相互参照： 科学专业，残疾，地点和性别 并将列出大约1,200人的名单。

The AAAS Project on Science, Technology and Disability is conducting a project to prepare, produce and disseminate a third edition of the Resource Directory of Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities. The current Directory, published in 1987, is outdated and lacks data on many outstanding scientists and engineers with disabilities whom AAAS has identified since the publication of the last edition. A number of individuals listed in the 2nd edition have new degrees or positions, and some are deceased. A new edition is needed so that students with disabilities, teachers, administrators, counselors, families, program officers and employers can network with working scientists and engineers with disabilities who can provide knowledge and experience in eliminating barriers and successfully managing their education and entry into a science or engineering career. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires public facilities and programs to be made accessible to people with disabilities. The individuals who will be listed in the Resource Directory are familiar with this law and, even before its inception, were designing adaptations and providing technical assistance on accessibility issues. They will be available through the Directory to assist others in restructuring their science and engineering environments. The products of this project will be three: a print edition of the Resource Directory, an alternative format (disk) edition of the Resource Directory for people who are blind or print-impaired, and lists of scientists and engineers with disabilities in specific science disciplines on disk for use by NSF program officers in selecting peer reviewers and committee members. The revised edition will be cross-referenced by scientific specialty, disability, location and gender and will list approximately 1,200 individuals.
