</font>National Public Radio is conducting research on a new prototype
"Braille Radio" being designed for use primarily by individuals
in the deaf-blind community. We are looking for Braille readers to
help us test the radio interface. In this study we will ask you to
perform some tasks using the radio, and give us feedback on how we
can improve the radio. The study will last 45 minutes and you will
be compensated $25 for your time. Please contact

schedule an appointment. <br><br>

In collaboration with NFB, Towson University is conducting research that
compares Braille and sighted reading. We are looking for
experienced male Braille readers who are employed or who are in college
and use Braille on a daily basis. During the study you will read
some stories and complete a few short literacy tests. The study
will take approximately an hour and you will be compensated $25 for your
time. You can also choose to donate this money back to the
NFB. Please contact
