Research Experiences for Undergraduates with Disabilities

Priority: No

AccessComputing, a National Science Foundation funded project, aims to increase the participation of people with disabilities in computing careers. AccessComputing has funding for undergraduate students with disabilities to participate in summer research internships.

Undergraduate students with disabilities who are interested in summer research internships are encouraged to fill out the form at: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/blaser/318420 . Through applying for an internship, students will have the opportunity to become AccessComputing student team members. Student team members engage in online mentoring and are eligible to request funding for internships, travel to conferences, and tutoring. 

Faculty who are interested in hosting an AccessComputing student with a disability as a research intern, are encouraged to complete the form at:
