Purdue University was awarded a $750,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation to develop experiential accessible frameworks for partnerships and opportunities in data science for the deaf community. The award is part of NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084), which seeks to advance science, engineering, and innovation leading to breakthrough technologies and solutions to national challenges. Under the one-year award ending November 2023, Purdue will partner with Gallaudet University and the Rochester Institute of Technology's National Technical Institute for the Deaf to create university-industry research partnerships, curriculum, and projects in data science tailored for deaf learners. The program aims to empower 75 deaf and hard of hearing students through interdisciplinary team projects with mentors from academia and corporate partners. Key goals include aligning faculty, students, and companies on use-inspired research, fostering an inclusive research culture, and establishing career pathways for deaf data scientists. Purdue will help integrate corporate research experiences at Gallaudet and assist both universities in developing new data science programs accessible to the deaf community.
