Support CREATE’s research, translation, and education work

Since its 2019 founding, CREATE has supported an interdisciplinary community of researchers working to make technology accessible and to make the world more accessible through technology.

In our first five years we have:

• Fostered community for more than 250 student members through outreach, educational initiatives, seminars, hackfests, and community events
• Developed a community engagement program that provides students with unique opportunities to collaborate and co-design with community partners, including local, regional, and national disability-serving nonprofits
• Expanded our funding support for translation and research, including our newest initiative, Race, Disability, and Technology
• As part of our efforts to improve inclusive access to education, we launched new graduate and undergraduate courses focused on accessibility and technology, and integrated accessibility into intro courses in different STEM programs
• With more than 50% of our leadership, faculty, and staff disabled themselves, advocated for disabled faculty and people by circulating inclusive hiring practices for UW and by writing policy briefs
• Secured additional grant funding to support postdoctoral research fellows
• Continued to publish significant numbers of influential research articles about technology and accessibility
