Dear AT Funding Experts,

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.
