The "AccessSTEM: The Northwest Alliance for Students with Disabilities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics - Phase II (AccessSTEM2)" project will increase the associate, baccalaureate, and graduate science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) degree attainment of individuals with disabilities in the Seattle, WA region. The primary institution, the University of Washington (UW), is partnering with Bellevue Community College (BCC), Seattle Central Community College (SCCC), and all high schools within the Seattle Public Schools system to accomplish this goal.The AccessSTEM-Phase 2 Alliance will increase the associate, baccalaureate and graduate STEM degree attainment of students with disabilities by attending to the following four objectives:1. Implement changes within awardee and partner postsecondary institutions (UW, BCC, SCCC) to make STEM programs more welcoming and accessible to students with disabilities (e.g., more accessible websites and science labs, STEM publications that encourage the participation of students with disabilities);2. Create and expand engagement of stakeholders (precollege STEM educators, disability services, veteran associations, projects that broaden participation in STEM, and industry and career services) in fostering STEM education and careers that are welcoming and accessible to people with disabilities;3. Implement evidence-based practices (e.g., mentoring, peer support, internships) to increase numbers of individuals with disabilities moving through critical junctures to STEM associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degrees and careers; and 4. Support and expand an online resource center that shares research and promising practices worldwide.

“AccessSTEM：西北科学、技术、工程和数学残疾学生联盟-第二阶段（AccessSTEM2）”项目将增加华盛顿州西雅图地区残疾人的副学士、学士和研究生科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学位。主要机构华盛顿大学（UW）正在与贝尔维尤社区学院（BCC）、西雅图中央社区学院（SCCC）以及西雅图公立学校系统内的所有高中合作，以实现这一目标。accessstem第二阶段联盟将通过以下四个目标来提高残疾学生的副学士、学士和研究生STEM学位的获得程度：1 .在获奖院校和合作院校（威斯康星大学、波士顿大学、SCCC）内部实施改革，使STEM项目更受残疾学生的欢迎和接受（例如，更容易访问的网站和科学实验室，鼓励残疾学生参与的STEM出版物）；2 .创造和扩大利益相关者（大学前STEM教育工作者、残疾人服务机构、退伍军人协会、扩大STEM参与的项目、行业和职业服务）的参与，以促进对残疾人欢迎和无障碍的STEM教育和职业；实施循证实践（例如，指导、同伴支持、实习），以增加残疾人的数量，使他们能够在关键时刻获得STEM副学士学位、学士学位和研究生学位和职业；和4。支持并扩大一个在线资源中心，在全球范围内分享研究成果和有前途的做法。
