Presidential Awards for Excellence In Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring

自1975年以来，美国科学促进会的科学、技术和残疾项目在支持残疾人在科学、数学和工程方面的进步方面发挥了领导作用，比《美国残疾人法案》的授权早了十多年。这个项目鼓励科学家和工程师自我识别，因此创建了美国科学促进会残疾科学家和工程师资源小组，产生了一个由大约1000名科学家和工程师组成的导师小组。美国科学促进会残疾项目已经成为寻求鼓励残疾人进入科学和工程领域并取得进步的个人和组织的最重要的资源。美国科学促进会残疾项目有一个新项目：切入点！该公司已经为245名残疾学生安排了带薪暑期实习。学生的种族、性别和残疾类型各不相同。所有学生都将从申请、实习、搬迁、研究工作和后续跟进的过程中得到指导。

The AAAS Project on Science, Technology, and Disability has played a leadership role in supporting the advancement of people with disabilities in science, mathematics and engineering since 1975, more than a decade before the mandate of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This program encourages scientists and engineers to self-identify and thus created the AAAS Resource Group of Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities, producing a group of about 1,000 scientists and engineers who serve as mentors. The AAAS Disability Project has become the most important resource for individuals and organizations seeking to encourage the entry and advancement of person with disabilities in science and engineering. The AAAS Disability Project, has a new program: Entry Point!, which has made more than 245 placements of students with disabilities in paid summer internships. The students are diverse in ethnicity, gender, and type of disability. All are mentored through the process of application, internship offer, relocation, research work, and follow up.
