We are looking for proposals for a commissioned White Paper
on assistive technology funding policies, practices, and procedures, for
a new concept in AT.
First, some background: The Global Public
Inclusive Infrastructure (GPII), a project of Raising the Floor
International, will extend accessibility to more people with
disabilities in more situations by supporting features
and functions built directly into the Internet. The GPII vision is that
each computing or communication device will be able to instantly change
to fit users as they encounter the device, rather than requiring users
to figure out how to install, adapt, or configure access features they
need. For AT and mainstream technology companies, GPII will
introduce a system of shared components and services to reduce cost,
increase interoperability, and foster innovation. Visit http://GPII.net to learn
more.
This White Paper
project is aimed at understanding whether and how current AT
funding programs can support GPII-based AT, including information
about the relevant laws, regulations, and typical business
methods.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please
email xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to receive a
copy of the RFP.
Please feel free to distribute this
notice.
