Creating Museum Exhibitions for Everyone: A Research Study Planning Grant

科学博物馆将与其他四个非正式科学教育机构合作，规划一个全国性的分布式研究项目，探索博物馆普遍获得科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的非正式学习机会。这一规划项目将确定与获取相关的研究领域，建立一组核心顾问以协助制定研究议程，协调调查专题的选择，并确定在哪些领域共享研究方案可能适合在伙伴机构进行的研究。最初的研究将侧重于传统上被许多博物馆体验边缘化的残疾参观者。

The Museum of Science will partner with four other informal science education institutions to plan a nationwide distributed research project that will explore universal access to informal learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in museums. This planning project will determine domains of access-related research, establish a core set of advisors to assist with the development of the research agenda, coordinate the selection of topics for investigation and define areas where a shared research protocol might be appropriate for studies conducted at partner institutions. Research initially will be focused on visitors with disabilities who have traditionally been marginalized from many museum experiences.
