Gifts to this fund support the research and operations of the Trace Center and its individual researchers.
The Trace Research & Development Center has been a pioneer in the field of technology and disability, known for high-impact research and development. Their mission is to capitalize on the potential that technologies hold for people experiencing barriers due to disability, aging, or digital literacy, and to prevent emerging technologies from creating new barriers for these individuals. In doing this, they bring together disciplines such as information science, computer science, engineering, disability studies, law, and public policy to engage in research, development, tech transfer, education, policy, and advocacy.
