DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): One (1) public health issue relates to deaf researchers and their access to work done by other researchers in their field. In particular, communication barriers are most often encountered at scientific conferences. This R13 Conference Grant application is unique because it requests funds to design, implement, and assess a mechanism for providing full access for deaf researchers to established, scientifically significant national and international conferences. The goal of the project is to provide a replicable model of full access to scientific organizations and government agencies. The design for access includes early involvement of the PI, a deaf professional, as a liaison to the conference organizing committee. The PI will consult in conference access evaluation with other deaf professionals via an advisory board. In addition, an ASL interpreter coordinator and six highly skilled ASL interpreters will be hired for full conference access. The established conference chosen to pilot the mechanism is the Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research Conference 9, to be held in Florianopolis, Brazil, Dec. 6-9, 2006. The TISLR conference series is the recognized avenue for presentation and publication in the field of national and international sign language research. Attendance at the TISLR conferences has been an important way for deaf scientists to gain recognition in the mainstream scientific community. 'Deaf friendly' conference planning, delivery of interpreting services, and conference evaluation and reporting for TISLR 9 has major benefits: Independent deaf researchers needing to attend this conference who do not have resources or funds to bring their own interpreters out of the country will be able to attend by the provision of high-quality American Sign Language interpreters. Further, funding for interpreters will indirectly enable more young deaf researchers to attend the conference and network with established deaf and hearing scholars, since they and their institutions would only need to fund travel and accommodation. Of even greater significance, the model of conference access piloted in this project has the potential to be refined through evaluation and serve as a general protocol for accessibility for deaf professionals to major conferences. This project promotes public health by supporting the access of deaf people to professional opportunities. It also creates an environment where young deaf scholars can network with established researchers in their field.

描述（由申请人提供）：一（1）个公共卫生问题与聋哑研究人员及其在其领域其他研究人员所做的工作有关。特别是，沟通障碍最常在科学会议上遇到。此R13会议赠款申请是独一无二的，因为它要求资金设计，实施和评估一种为聋人研究人员提供完整访问的机制，以实现，科学意义重大的国家和国际会议。该项目的目的是提供与科学组织和政府机构完全访问的可复制模型。访问设计的设计包括聋哑专业人士的早期参与，作为会议组织委员会的联络。 PI将通过顾问委员会与其他聋人专业人员进行会议访问评估。此外，将雇用ASL口译协调员和六位高技能ASL口译员，以进行全面的会议访问。选择试验该机制的既定会议是在2006年12月6日至9日在巴西的弗洛里亚诺派斯举行的手语研究会议9中的理论问题。TISLR会议系列是在国民和国际手语研究领域的表现和出版的公认途径。参加Tislr会议是聋人科学家在主流科学界获得认可的重要方法。 “聋哑”会议计划，口译服务的交付以及TISLR 9的会议评估和报告具有重大好处：需要参加本次会议的独立聋人研究人员，他们没有资源或资金将自己的口译员带出该国，将能够通过提供高质量的美国手语解释者来参加。此外，口译员的资金将间接使更多的年轻聋哑研究人员能够与既定的聋人和听力学者一起参加会议，并与他们的机构进行网络，因为他们及其机构只需要为旅行和住宿提供资金。具有更大的意义，该项目中试用的会议访问模型有可能通过评估来完善，并作为聋哑专业人员参加主要会议的一般协议。该项目通过支持聋人获得专业机会来促进公共卫生。它还创造了一个环境，年轻的聋人学者可以与该领域的知名研究人员建立联系。
