| Description: | This science policy research report addresses key issues, barriers and opportunities for increasing participation in STEM fields and the workforce among under-served populations, focusing on individuals with disabilities and, in particular, veterans with disabilities. This is especially important as these populations might not be aware of, or not actively involved in, social networks of STEM innovators, and conversely technology innovators might not fully consider these individuals as important contributors to innovation systems. The report also explores the potential of new frameworks, dissemination design parameters, and knowledge-generating communities to provide lessons learned and guidance for effective practices and inclusion in STEM disciplines. Addressing the underrepresentation of individuals with disabilities in STEM fields, it offers an analysis of relevant research and policy approaches and looks to inform related government agenda-setting and decision-making. |
