AbstractThe University of Washington (UW) requests funding for the Northwest Alliance for Accessto Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to increase the quantity andquality of people with disabilities in STEM careers.Intellectual Merit and Qualifications of PartnersThe lead agency is the UW's award-winning DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworkingand Technology) program, which has conducted successful NSF PPD projects since 1992.Regional site teams at the two largest STEM research institutions in the State of Washington, theUW and Washington State University (WSU), will collaborate with K-12 and postsecondaryschools, employers, and leading STEM research institutions in neighboring states - theUniversity of Idaho, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and the University ofAlaska in Anchorage and Fairbanks. The project will partner with ENTRY POINT! to place STEMpostsecondary students with disabilities in paid internships. It will collaborate with MESA(Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) adapting for students with disabilities thehands-on science activities and teacher training strategies it uses with racial/ethnic minority andfemale students. The Alliance builds on established collaborations and brings together practicesthat have proven successful individually, to create a unique, comprehensive set of interventions.Objectives and examples of interventions include:1. The Northwest Alliance will increase the number of students with disabilities pursuingSTEM academic programs and careers. Interventions: Motivational college/career transitionand STEM fairs for precollege students and STEM academic/career activities for collegestudents that identify participants for the AccessSTEM Team in objective 2 interventions.2. The Alliance will provide on-going support and encourage high school and collegestudents with disabilities who show interest and aptitude in STEM with peer andmentor interaction, work experiences, and other activities as they transition to college,graduate school, and employment. Interventions: Students join the AccessSTEM Team toengage in an on-line community, mentoring, fields trips, research, paid internships, and otheractivities to assure their success in STEM careers and promote the success of others.3. The Alliance will provide precollege educators and staff with strategies, tools andsupport to create more inclusive programs for students with disabilities, where they areencouraged to pursue STEM studies and careers. Interventions: Training and curriculummaterials through established networks of MESA, Educational Services Districts, teachertraining programs, and professional organizations; provide educators with opportunities towork with students who have disabilities.4. The Alliance will help STEM postsecondary faculty, support staff, counselors, andemployers fully include students with disabilities in their courses and programs and createaccessible facilities and electronic resources. Interventions: Opportunities for faculty toreceive training and work with students with disabilities in research; assistance in makingfacilities, equipment, distance learning, and Web pages accessible.Each intervention is associated with measurables that provide evidence of effectiveness. TheNational Center on Postsecondary Educational Supports (NCSPES) will evaluate projectoutcomes and impacts, conduct research on factors that promote success for students withdisabilities, describe replication models, and help disseminate results.Broader Impacts Resulting from the Northwest AllianceCollaborations with MESA and other programs will broaden the participation of racial/ethnicminorities and females with disabilities in STEM. Wide distribution of a replication model, curriculummaterials, and other project products and creation of a searchable Knowledge Base on the projectWeb site will enhance scientific and technological understanding and maximize project impact.Project outcomes will benefit society by making STEM opportunities available to all citizens andincreasing the number of STEM professionals and leaders who have disabilities.

摘要华盛顿大学（UW）要求为西北联盟提供资金，以访问科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM），以增加STEM职业中残疾人的数量和质量的数量和质量华盛顿州和华盛顿州立大学（WSU）的两个最大的STEM研究机构的团队将与K -12和邻近州 - 俄勒冈大学，俄勒冈州立大学，俄勒冈大学及其Olalaska University Anchoreake和Fairakes Anchoreake和Fairake的University and ofergon and Fairake和Fairbarkank的K -12和大多数学院，雇主和领先的STEM研究机构合作。该项目将与入口点合作！将STEM录取症患有残疾学生的学生参加有偿实习。它将与MESA（数学，工程，科学成就）合作，以适应残疾学生的科学活动和教师培训策略，并与种族/族裔少数民族和少数族裔学生一起使用。该联盟建立在既定的合作中，并将实践的实践融合已被证明是单独成功的，以创建一套独特的，全面的干预措施。对象和干预措施的示例包括：1。西北联盟将增加追求学术课程和职业的残疾学生人数。干预措施：动机大学/职业过渡和STEM展览会为预科课程和STEM的学术/职业生涯，用于确定目标2干预措施中访问系统团队参与者的学术/职业活动。2。该联盟将提供持续的支持，并鼓励高中和残疾大学，他们在过渡到大学，研究生院和就业时表现出对STEM的兴趣和能力，并与同伴互动，工作经验以及其他活动。干预措施：学生加入访问系统团队的在线社区，指导，野外旅行，研究，付费实习和其他活动，以确保他们在STEM职业中的成功并促进他人的成功。3。该联盟将为预科教育工作者和员工提供策略，工具和支持，以为残疾学生创建更具包容性的计划，并在其中授予他们从事STEM研究和职业的授权。干预措施：通过已建立的台面网络，教育服务区，教师培训计划和专业组织的培训和课程材料；为教育者提供与残疾学生的机会。4。该联盟将有助于茎后教师，支持人员，辅导员和雇员完全包括残疾学生的课程和课程，以及可访问的设施和电子资源。干预措施：教师培训的机会，并与残疾学生一起研究；可访问的辅助性，设备，远程学习和网页可访问。每个干预措施与提供有效性证据的可衡量物有关。当时的高等教育支持中心（NCSPE）将评估投影量和影响，对促进学生撤离成功的因素进行研究，描述复制模型并有助于传播结果。BRODER由西北Alliancolliancollaborations与MESA和其他计划造成的影响会宽泛地与种族/Ethnicalientitions和Ethnicalientions and Nicationalientions and Nicalise and Nicalise and Nicalise and and Nicationals和Formine，并将其影响。重复模型，课程材料和其他项目产品的广泛分配以及在ProjectWeb网站上的可搜索知识基础的创建将增强科学和技术理解，并最大程度地提高项目影响。项目的成果将使社会受益，从而使社会上的STEM机会为所有公民提供，从而使所有患有不适分的STEM专业人员和领导者的数量。
