The AAAS Project on Science, Technology and Disability proposes to initiate within the National Science Foundation (NSF) its highly successful project, ENTRY POINT! ENTRY POINT! is a national effort to discover and develop talent among students with disabilities and place them in paid summer internships. The program seeks out students majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, science education, mathematics, all fields of engineering, and engineering technology. The long-term goal of the project is to increase the diversity of the Nation's science and engineering work force. AAAS will provide orientation activities and materials for the interns to assist them in quickly learning about NSF needs and operations. These will include orientation packets for student interns before they begin their summer internships. Information on disability accommodations will also be provided to managers and co-workers. Site visits will be made to each intern during the summer, and follow-up interviews will be conducted in the fall. AAAS has extensive experience in identifying students with disabilities at postsecondary institutions across the country facilitating a broad and deep recruitment effort for identifying highly qualified undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities pursuing science and engineering disciplines. AAAS will screen the students as candidates for paid 10-week summer internships. NSF will provide interns with meaningful job assignments, building their skills and complementing their academic studies, and assign mentors to the students. The project will provide stipends, worksite accommodations as needed, and limited travel funds to those who relocate. Prior to, during, and after the summer internships, AAAS will maintain regular contact with the students, advising them on academic and employment issues, and connecting them with users and developers of assistive technology.

美国科学促进会科学、技术和残疾项目建议在国家科学基金会 (NSF) 内启动其非常成功的项目“入口点！” 切入点！是一项全国性的努力，旨在发现和培养残疾学生的人才，并让他们参加带薪暑期实习。 该项目寻找生物学、化学、计算机科学、科学教育、数学、所有工程领域和工程技术专业的学生。 该项目的长期目标是增加国家科学和工程劳动力的多样性。 美国科学促进会将为实习生提供定向活动和材料，帮助他们快速了解 NSF 的需求和运营。 其中将包括学生实习生开始暑期实习之前的迎新包。 有关残疾人便利设施的信息也将提供给经理和同事。 夏季将对每位实习生进行实地考察，秋季进行后续面试。 美国科学促进会在全国各地高等教育机构甄选残疾学生方面拥有丰富的经验，促进广泛而深入的招聘工作，以甄别追求科学和工程学科的高素质残疾本科生和研究生。 美国科学促进会 (AAAS) 将筛选学生作为为期 10 周带薪暑期实习的候选人。 NSF 将为实习生提供有意义的工作任务，培养他们的技能并补充他们的学术研究，并为学生指派导师。 该项目将根据需要向搬迁人员提供津贴、工作场所住宿以及有限的旅行资金。 在暑期实习之前、期间和之后，AAAS 将与学生保持定期联系，就学术和就业问题向他们提供建议，并将他们与辅助技术的用户和开发人员联系起来。
