Deaf researchers are underrepresented in sign language research. The aim of this project is to broaden the participation of deaf individuals in disciplines that conduct sign language research. Funding will be used to bring U.S. deaf college students to the Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research (TISLR) conference that will be hosted in London during the summer of 2013 and to provide American Sign Language interpreting services for these students at the conference. TISLR is the most significant and well-attended international sign language research conference. Immediately prior to TISLR, the students will also participate in a three-day Sign Language Researchers' Toolkit training that will be offered by the Deafness, Cognition, and Language Centre at the University College London. The training will include hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment and software for analyses and documentation of signed languages. The knowledge, skills, resources, and networks the students will acquire in London at the training and at TISLR will make them better equipped to develop careers in sign language research.

聋人研究人员在手语研究中的代表性不足。这个项目的目的是扩大聋人在进行手语研究的学科中的参与。该基金将用于邀请美国聋人大学生参加将于2013年夏季在伦敦举行的手语研究理论问题（TISLR）会议，并在会议上为这些学生提供美国手语翻译服务。TISLR是世界上最重要和最受欢迎的国际手语研究会议。在TISLR之前，学生们还将参加为期三天的手语研究人员工具包培训，该培训将由伦敦大学学院的耳聋、认知和语言中心提供。培训内容将包括使用最先进的设备和软件进行手语分析和记录。学生将在伦敦的培训和TISLR获得的知识、技能、资源和网络将使他们更好地为发展手语研究的职业做好准备。
