The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site on Accessible Information and Communication Technology (AICT) provides undergraduate participants with research experiences on projects that enhance accessibility of information and communication technologies, such as mobile phones or streaming videos for consumers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind (DHHDB). The participants will collaborate with DHHDB peers and mentors on a research project for 10 weeks. The diverse teams provide students with the experience and knowledge to recognize the range and complexity of accessibility challenges in accessing information and communication technology and to evaluate the efficacy of proposed solutions in a unique research environment. DHHDB students are extremely underrepresented in academics at the graduate level especially in STEM. The AICT REU site creates a critically needed pipeline of these students for graduate school and encourages them to participate in undergraduate and graduate programs in accessible information and communications technology.Each research project addresses unsolved accessibility challenges for deaf, hard of hearing or deaf-blind consumers in using existing information and communication technology that undergraduate researchers can easily understand, analyze and solve. The inclusion of undergraduate and faculty researchers who have aural disabilities increases accessibility and usability of information and communication technologies. The interactive and personal nature of the research projects provides a link between research and practice, and a diverse, inclusive and collaborative research experience for the participants. They will learn to create and disseminate their research outcomes through seminar training and participation in college and institutional conferences. The AICT REU Site website (http://accessiblemultimedia.com) provides additional information.

研究经验的本科生（REU）网站上可理解的信息和通信技术（AICT）为本科生参与者提供研究经验的项目，提高信息和通信技术的可访问性，如移动的电话或流媒体视频的消费者谁是聋人，重听，或盲人（DHHDB）。参与者将与DHHDB同行和导师合作进行为期10周的研究项目。不同的团队为学生提供的经验和知识，以认识到在访问信息和通信技术的无障碍挑战的范围和复杂性，并评估在一个独特的研究环境中提出的解决方案的有效性。DHHDB的学生在研究生阶段的学者中代表性极低，特别是在STEM领域。AICT REU网站为这些学生创造了一个急需的研究生院管道，并鼓励他们参加无障碍信息和通信技术的本科和研究生课程。每个研究项目都针对聋人，重听或盲人消费者在使用现有信息和通信技术时未解决的无障碍挑战，本科研究人员可以轻松理解，分析和解决。将有听力残疾的本科生和教师研究人员包括在内，增加了信息和通信技术的可获得性和可用性。研究项目的互动和个人性质提供了研究与实践之间的联系，并为参与者提供了多样化，包容性和协作性的研究体验。他们将学习通过研讨会培训和参加大学和机构会议来创建和传播他们的研究成果。AICT REU网站（accessiblemultimedia.com）提供了更多信息。
