ARRT: Postdoctoral training in physical computing and fabrication to support innovations for community living and participation - Abstract The goal of this proposal is to train leaders in rehabilitation research who can harness advances in physical computing and fabrication to enhance community living and participation with people with disabilities. Importance of Problem: Physical computing uses consumer-grade fabrication and computing technology to create physical objects that can revolutionize the range and customizability of assistive technology available to people with disabilities. Physical computing is already demonstrably improving community living and participation. However, there is a shortage of people qualified to harness, deliver, and advance physical computing for rehabilitation research. Training Activities: This program will train four postdoctoral fellows to be leaders in physical computing for rehabilitation research that supports community living and participation. Each fellow will complete a 24-month training program that will build their expertise in physical computing, fabrication, and disability studies. Training will include research, coursework and mentoring that expand expertise in using basic and complex adaptation tools, 3D-modeling software, and fabrication machines (e.g., laser cutters, 3D-printers) for rehabilitation applications. This program will be conducted as part of the University of Washington’s Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences (CREATE). CREATE is a multidisciplinary group of leading experts in translational work for accessibility that will further support and enhance the fellows’ research and career goals. Plan of Evaluation: We aim to prepare fellows for independent careers in physical computing and rehabilitation research. Our comprehensive outcomes will evaluate each fellows’ development, as well as the program’s overall accessibility and community impact. Products: The four postdoctoral fellows will expand access and accelerate innovations in physical computing to support community living and participation with people with disabilities. Their innovative research, publications, presentations, and community resources will amplify the impacts of this training program.
