The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site on Accessible Information and Communication Technology (AICT) site engages a group of students with diverse auditory abilities (deaf, hard of hearing or hearing) in human-centered research experiences that investigate accessibility of information and communications technologies (ICT). As ICT becomes more pervasive, a crucial challenge is to provide an equal user experience to people regardless of their auditory abilities, by training the next generation of people who have diverse auditory abilities. This program will train a cohort of deaf, hard of hearing and hearing student to be future ICT accessibility leaders.Students will learn about accessible ICT, engage in the research process from ideation to presentations, and join a community of scholars and practitioners who will provide career advice and mentorship. The REU projects will form the basis for new collaborations among the investigators and other collaborators at the students' home institutions. The inclusion of undergraduate and faculty/staff researchers who have diverse auditory abilities increases recognition of the range and complexity of needs by users with diverse auditory abilities and the range of possible ICT solutions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研究经验的本科生（REU）网站上可扩展的信息和通信技术（AICT）网站从事一组学生与不同的听觉能力（聋，听力或听力困难）在以人为本的研究经验，调查信息和通信技术（ICT）的可访问性。随着信息和通信技术变得更加普及，一个关键的挑战是通过培训具有不同听觉能力的下一代人，为人们提供平等的用户体验，而不管他们的听觉能力如何。该计划将培养一批聋人、重听和听力正常的学生成为未来的ICT无障碍领导者。学生将学习无障碍ICT，参与从构思到演示的研究过程，并加入学者和从业者社区，他们将提供职业建议和指导。REU项目将成为学生家庭机构的研究人员和其他合作者之间新合作的基础。包括本科生和教师/工作人员谁拥有不同的听觉能力的研究人员增加了对不同的听觉能力和可能的ICT解决方案的范围和用户的需求的复杂性的认可。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
