AccessADVANCE
| As of Friday, May 2, 2025, AccessADVANCE is no longer funded by the National Science Foundation. While the project has come to an unexpected end, the commitment of our faculty mentors, leadership, and partners to inclusive excellence in STEM continues. |
The goal of AccessADVANCE is to increase the participation and advancement of people with disabilities in academic science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers through an intersectional approach. AccessADVANCE serves to increase understanding of the issues related to this understudied and often marginalized group and identify promising practices that systematically address issues impacting the career advancement and success of faculty with disabilities.
