Deaf STEM Community Alliance - Supported by the National Science Foundation (HRD-1127955), the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, Camden County College, and Cornell University are constructing an on-line community to support the learning needs of students who are deaf and hard-of-hearing in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
SEEDS-International - SEEDS-International is the first-of-a-kind pilot program of a three-year project. The project will provide global learning opportunities and cultural awareness for deaf high school students, a historically under-served population. Delegations of students, faculty, and sign language interpreters from both schools will participate in three videoconferences, local cultural classes, daily journaling, week-long reciprocal school visits, and capstone presentations on their experiences to assemblies at their home schools.
Cisco Grant - The Silicon Valley Community Foundation, following the recommendation of the Cisco Accessibility Team, has just granted the NTID Center on Access Technology a $100,000 award for a first year of what is anticipated to be a multi-year effort. Bill Clymer, Interim Director of the Center on Access Technology, is PI, and Gary Behm and colleagues from NTID and the other RIT colleges will provide a team of experts to consider the application and adaptation of the ways in which CISCO products can benefit communication access for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals.
NSF Enrichment Grant - The National Science Foundation has awarded the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) a $199,585 eighteen-month Enrichment grant to investigate the creation of a virtual support network for deaf/hard-of-hearing college students around the country enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs. The project, Testing the Concept of a Virtual Alliance for Deaf and Hard of Hearing STEM Students at the Postsecondary Level, will begin on September 1, 2009 and conclude on February 28, 2011.
2008 Summit - Fifty leaders in the field of support service provision for postsecondary deaf and hard-of-hearing students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) from across the U.S. attended the "Summit" on the campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), in June 2008.
CAT Innovation Lab - The NTID Center on Access Technology Innovation Laboratory ("CAT Lab"), a first-of-its-kind initiative, provides a place for students to get involved in the innovation process. The CAT Lab is located on the first floor of NTID's Lyndon B. Johnson building, bringing together faculty and associate degree-level deaf and hard-of-hearing students to collaborate on multidisciplinary projects related to developing and adapting access and instructional technologies, health care technologies and services, and more.
