The National Science Foundation awarded New York University a $618,490 project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for work on "Disability Expertise and Design Justice for Post-COVID Equity." The two-year grant running from April 2021 through March 2023 will support NYU's efforts to advance equity and inclusion for people with disabilities in the post-pandemic environment through collaborative research and design projects. Leveraging the university's disability studies expertise, NYU will partner with community organizations to identify barriers to access and participation exacerbated by COVID-19, and develop and test innovative and inclusive solutions. Outcomes will aim to promote justice and empowerment for the disability community as communities rebuild public and private spaces.
