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

美国科学促进会科学、技术和残疾项目正在执行一个项目，编制、制作和散发《残疾科学家和工程师资源目录》第三版。目前的《名录》出版于1987年，已经过时，而且缺乏美国科学促进会自上一版出版以来确定的许多杰出的残疾科学家和工程师的数据。在第二版中列出的许多人都有新的学位或职位，有些人已经去世。需要一个新的版本，以便残疾学生，教师，管理人员，辅导员，家庭，项目官员和雇主可以与残疾科学家和工程师建立联系，他们可以提供知识和经验，消除障碍，成功地管理他们的教育和进入科学或工程职业。​1990年的《美国残疾人法案》要求公共设施和项目对残疾人无障碍。将在资源目录中列出的个人熟悉这项法律，甚至在它开始之前，就在设计改编并提供有关无障碍问题的技术援助。它们将通过该目录提供，以协助其他国家调整其科学和工程环境。这个项目的产品将有三个：《资源目录》的印刷版、《资源目录》的另一种格式（磁盘）版，供盲人或阅读障碍者使用；以及在特定科学学科中残疾的科学家和工程师的名单，供NSF项目官员在选择同行评审和委员会成员时使用。修订后的版本将根据科学专业、残疾、地点和性别进行交叉参考，并将列出大约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 The current Directory, published in 1987, is outdated and lacks data on many outstanding scientists and engineers with disabilities whom AAAS has identified since the publication of the last edition.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.
