This is funding to support a doctoral research symposium (workshop) of approximately 10 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad, along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with the ACM 2003 Conference on Universal Usability (CUU 2003), to be held November 10-11 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Groups on Human Computer Interaction (SIGCHI) and Computers and the Physically Handicapped (SIGCAPH). Conceived a few years back by Ben Shneiderman, he CUU conference series represents an effort to build a new community of researchers that look at the broader, social issues of interface design. A key way to build this community is through its youth. The consortium's goal is to bring PhD students together from diverse backgrounds (computer science, biomedical engineering, human communication theory and economics), so that they can see the broader spectrum of research approaches to universal usability and also feel that there is a community for them in which they can pursue their research. The PIs recognize the pressures of conforming when students graduate and move into research disciplines defined by academic departments; they wish to counter these pressures by guiding the research of the attendees through contact with experts in the field, allowing these young researchers to attend the CUU 2003 conference, presenting potential career paths within academia and industry, and illustrating the interrelationship of different aspects of universal usability through interaction among students and faculty with diverse research interests. Student participants will make formal presentations of their work during the consortium, and will receive feedback from a faculty panel designed to help them understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to related research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. The student participants will also present their work during the technical program of the CUU 2003 conference. Evaluation of the consortium will be conducted, and results of the evaluation will be available to the organizers of future consortia.Broader Impacts: The consortium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at questions of universal access and universal usability, will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this emerging interdisciplinary area, and will give new these promising young researchers constructive feedback on their work and expose them to a larger community.

这是资助一个博士研究研讨会（讲习班）的大约10名有前途的博士生来自美国和国外，沿着与杰出的研究教师。 该活动将与ACM 2003年通用可用性会议（CUU 2003）一起举行，该会议将于11月10日至11日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的温哥华举行，并由计算机械协会的人机交互特别兴趣小组（SIGCHI）和计算机与残疾人特别兴趣小组（SIGCAPH）赞助。 几年前由Ben Shneiderman构思的CUU系列会议代表了建立一个新的研究人员社区的努力，这些研究人员关注界面设计的更广泛的社会问题。 建立这个社区的一个关键途径是通过青年。 该联盟的目标是将来自不同背景（计算机科学，生物医学工程，人类通信理论和经济学）的博士生聚集在一起，这样他们就可以看到更广泛的研究方法来实现通用可用性，并感到有一个社区适合他们，他们可以在其中进行研究。 PI认识到当学生毕业并进入学术部门定义的研究学科时，符合的压力;他们希望通过与该领域的专家接触来指导与会者的研究，从而克服这些压力，允许这些年轻的研究人员参加CUU 2003年会议，在学术界和工业界提出潜在的职业道路，并通过学生和具有不同研究兴趣的教师之间的互动来说明通用可用性不同方面的相互关系。 学生参与者将在联盟期间对他们的工作进行正式介绍，并将收到教师小组的反馈，该小组旨在帮助他们理解和阐明他们的工作相对于相关研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现。 学生参与者还将在CUU 2003会议的技术方案期间介绍他们的工作。 将对联合体进行评估，评估结果将提供给未来联合体的组织者。该联盟将帮助制定正在进行和未来的研究项目，旨在解决普遍获取和普遍可用性问题，将促进这一新兴跨学科领域的新研究人员之间的学术和网络联系，并将为这些有前途的年轻研究人员提供关于他们工作的建设性反馈，并使他们接触到更大的社区。
