This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $499,997 in funding to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, operating as Stony Brook University, to establish the Disability Inclusion Support Network (DISNET) project. DISNET creates a virtual collaboration platform to connect NSF-funded research teams, STEM students with disabilities, disability organizations, and the broader disability community. The project aims to address the underrepresentation of people with disabilities in STEM education and careers by facilitating knowledge exchange, skill development, and networking among these key stakeholders. DISNET utilizes research insights, advisory board feedback, and best practices to develop an online portal with materials, tools, and collaboration features. The project also includes workshops and engagement activities to advance disability-related research and meaningfully involve the disability community. This award runs from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026.
