PPD: A Third Edition of the AAAS Resource Directory of Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities

AAAS关于科学、技术和残疾的项目正在进行一个项目，以编制、制作和传播第三版《残疾科学家和工程师资源名录》。目前的目录出版于1987年，已经过时，缺乏AAAS自上一版出版以来确认的许多杰出残疾科学家和工程师的数据。第二版中列出的一些人拥有新的学位或职位，有些人已经去世。需要一个新的版本，以便残疾学生、教师、行政人员、辅导员、家庭、项目官员和雇主可以与在职的残疾科学家和工程师建立网络，他们可以提供消除障碍和成功管理他们的教育和进入科学或工程职业的知识和经验。1990年的《美国残疾人法》要求残疾人可以使用公共设施和项目。将被列入《资源名录》的个人熟悉这项法律，甚至在它开始之前，就已经在设计改编和提供关于无障碍问题的技术援助。它们将通过该目录提供，以帮助其他人调整其科学和工程环境。该项目的产品将有三种：印刷版的《资源目录》，为盲人或印刷有障碍的人提供的替代格式(光盘)版的资源目录，以及磁盘上特定科学学科的残疾科学家和工程师的名单，供NSF计划官员在选择同行评审员和委员会成员时使用。修订版将按科学专业、残疾、地点和性别相互参照，将列出大约1200名个人。

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 The current Directory, published in 1987, is outdated and lacks data on many outstanding scientists and engineers with disabilities whom AAAS has identified since the publication of the last edition.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.
