hello there
This is Janie and there was a new number given about 5 days ago
We meet on zoom now
BTW Robin Brewer is a wonderful professor at the University of Michigan
Her study is for seniors over 65 with vision loss and after the initial 
phone call they will help you fill out the application and explain the 
program which lasts up to one year.
All the desired details are done using a touch tone phone
Simple
Here is her contact information
Send your email to Robin Brewer at

visionstudy at umich.edu

Just received this from Robin who was the guest speaker and is hot off the 
presses:
Hi Jane,


Thank you again for the invitation to speak tonight. Below is the 
information about the research study that you can share with your members:


The School of Information at University of Michigan is recruiting adults 
over the age of 65 with a vision impairment. To participate, you must own a 
phone (landline or cell phone) and be able to participate in interviews by 
phone.


If eligible, you will be interviewed about how you communicate with other 
people and use technology. You may be asked to try a new technology for 1 
year and give feedback on it. Participants will receive up to $120 for 
participation in the study.


If interested in this research opportunity, please contact Robin Brewer at 
734-615-1299 or by e-mail at visionstudy at umich.edu.


PI:  Robin Brewer, PhD
School of Information
University of Michigan


IRB Study Number:  HUM14195


Thanks,

Robin

Hi,

A friend and I tried to call in to the New Jersey call tonight, but no one
was there.  This phone number was listed: 605-468-8005, access code 460994#.
We are from Florida and are interested in the study.  Very disappointed.
What happened?

Annely Rose
