[Nfbnet-members-list] Blind and low-vision adults needed for research study on accessible data collection during NFB national convention

[Blake, Lou Ann]

The below research participant solicitation is being provided for informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our research mission.



We are blind research scientists from Independence Science. We are studying how people use a refreshable braille and tactile graphics display to collect scientific data in real time. We are looking for people to take part in a study to help us with our work!

Participants must be:

  *   At least 18 years old.
  *   Attendees of the 2022 National Federation of the Blind convention.
  *   Experienced with braille and science.



Participants will be given an orientation to the device, take part in a laboratory exercise involving the device, and respond to questions about its usability. Participants will receive a $100 gift card for their time.



Study sessions will take place during the NFB national convention on July 6, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, and on July 7, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. If you are interested in participating, please contact us.

We look forward to meeting with you and learning from your experiences!
Drs. Ashley Nashleanas and Greg Williams
