DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Increasing the means for individuals with physical limitations to study - and ultimately enjoy a career in - biomedical science requires creating a setting and lab assistive technology (AT) that build not only their experience but also their confidence in performing typical biomedical science activities. We propose to establish the Institute for Accessible Science (IAS), which will target and break down physical and attitudinal impediments to the inclusion of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in biomedical research. Central to the IAS mission will be the creation of the IAS-HUB - a unique cyberinfrastructure for sharing information, model simulations, and resources - that will serve as a platform to drive institutional transformation. This powerful web-based interactive community will assist PWDs with solving problems encountered in the education pipeline toward a career in biomedical science. The IAS-HUB will collect information on and track PWDs and other resources as well as provide an interactive forum for PWDs, researchers, and educators to exchange information, offer webinars, online workshops, and interactive laboratory training simulations. Through the IAS-HUB, we will communicate with and assist individual PWDs on educational institution and curriculum choices, careers, and disability-related concerns. IAS- HUB will also serve as a resource for PWDs facing educational and institutional difficulties regarding architectural accessibility of classrooms, laboratories, and housing; transportation; financial support; healthcare needs; and current attitudes toward them in biomedical science departments. In addition, we will create an immersive laboratory training environment (ABIL) for PWDs to practice with AT, enabling them to perform as independently as possible lab techniques commonly used during biomedical research. These interventions are expected not only to increase the know-how and confidence of PWDs to enter biomedical science research but also will play a critical role in empowering PWDs to request greater accommodations in science curricula and research laboratories. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Diversification of our nation's biomedical research community is an essential step toward the identification of innovative solutions to promote the improved human health of the U.S. population. We propose to promote the diversification of the biomedical workforce by accelerating the entry and success of persons with disabilities in science careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：增加具有身体限制的人的手段，并最终享受生物医学科学的职业，需要创建一种环境和实验室辅助技术（AT），不仅建立了他们的经验，而且还建立了他们对执行典型的生物医学科学活动的信心。我们建议建立可访问科学研究所（IAS），该研究所将针对生物医学研究中纳入残疾人（PWD）的身体和态度障碍。 IAS任务的核心将是创建IAS -hub（用于共享信息，模型模拟和资源的独特网络基础设施），它将用作推动机构转型的平台。这个功能强大的基于网络的互动社区将帮助PWDS解决教育管道中遇到的问题的问题，以实现生物医学科学的职业。 IAS-HUB将收集有关PWD和其他资源的信息，并为PWD，研究人员和教育工作者提供交互式论坛，以交换信息，提供网络研讨会，在线研讨会和交互式实验室培训模拟。通过IAS-HUB，我们将与个人PWD进行沟通并协助有关教育机构和课程选择，职业和与残疾有关的问题的沟通。 IAS- HUB还将成为有关教育和机构在教室，实验室和住房的建筑可及性方面面临教育和机构困难的PWD的资源；运输;财政支持；医疗保健需求；当前对生物医学科学部门的态度。此外，我们将创建一个沉浸式实验室培训环境（ABIL），以供PWD与AT进行练习，从而使它们能够独立地执行生物医学研究中常用的实验室技术。期望这些干预措施不仅可以增加PWD进入生物医学科学研究的专业知识和信心，而且还将在授权PWDS要求科学课程和研究实验室中提供更多住宿方面发挥关键作用。 公共卫生相关性：我们国家生物医学研究界的多样化是迈向识别创新解决方案以促进美国人口改善的人类健康的重要一步。我们建议通过加速残疾人在科学职业中的进入和成功来促进生物医学劳动力的多样化。
