attend the next bimonthly meeting of the U.S. Access Board, which will be
open to the public and take place virtually on September 16 from 1:00 to

Interim Executive Director and features presentations on the work of the
National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation
Research (NIDILRR), the federal government's primary disability research
agency.

Representatives from NIDILRR will provide an overview of programs and grant
projects on research to advance accessibility and technology for people with
disabilities. Presenters include Dr. Phil Beatty and Dr. Sarah Ruiz of the
NIDILRR Office of Research Sciences who will discuss NIDILRRs programs and
research centers, including the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers
(RERCs) that conduct advanced engineering research and develop innovative
technologies to advance accessibility and remove environmental barriers.

They will be joined by researchers from several RERCs. Dr. Jordana Maisel of
the University at Buffalo will provide a briefing on the work of the RERC on
Physical Access and Transportation and the RERC on Universal Design and the
Built Environment. Dr. Janice C. Light of Pennsylvania State University will
review research undertaken by the RERC on Augmentative and Alternative
Communication.
