This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research led by The Ohio State University to identify barriers and supports for physics students and early career physicists with disabilities at U.S. colleges and universities. The $136,651 grant, awarded on April 1, 2025, aims to explore how the attitudes and experiences of this population vary across demographic factors, research experience, and physics sub-fields. The research will involve surveys and interviews with students, faculty, and mentors to determine effective strategies for making physics more accessible and inclusive for individuals with disabilities. The grant also includes an education plan to create learning communities for faculty, modify trainings for teaching assistants, and publish articles to share findings with the broader physics community. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
