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）：增加身体限制的个人学习生物医学科学并最终享受其职业生涯的手段，需要创建一个环境和实验室辅助技术（AT），不仅可以增强他们的经验，还可以增强他们进行典型生物医学科学活动的信心。我们提议建立无障碍科学研究所 (IAS)，该研究所将致力于消除残疾人 (PWD) 参与生物医学研究的身体和态度障碍。 IAS 使命的核心是创建 IAS-HUB——一个用于共享信息、模型模拟和资源的独特网络基础设施——它将作为推动机构转型的平台。这个强大的基于网络的互动社区将帮助残疾人解决在生物医学科学职业教育过程中遇到的问题。 IAS-HUB 将收集和跟踪残疾人的信息和其他资源，并为残疾人、研究人员和教育工作者提供一个交流信息的互动论坛，提供网络研讨会、在线研讨会和互动实验室培训模拟。通过 IAS-HUB，我们将与残障人士就教育机构和课程选择、职业和残疾相关问题进行沟通并为其提供帮助。 IAS-HUB 还将为在教室、实验室和住房的建筑无障碍方面面临教育和制度困难的残疾人提供资源；运输;财政支持；医疗保健需求；以及生物医学科学部门目前对它们的态度。此外，我们将为残疾人士创建一个沉浸式实验室培训环境（ABIL）来练习 AT，使他们能够尽可能独立地执行生物医学研究中常用的实验室技术。这些干预措施不仅有望提高残疾人进入生物医学科学研究的专业知识和信心，还将在帮助残疾人要求科学课程和研究实验室提供更多便利方面发挥关键作用。 公共卫生相关性：我国生物医学研究界的多元化是确定创新解决方案以促进改善美国人口健康的重要一步。我们建议通过加快残疾人进入科学事业并取得成功来促进生物医学劳动力的多元化。
