ERC Summer Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities
Apply now! The National Science Foundation-sponsored Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) are recruiting individuals with disabilities into programs for Summer 2021.

ERCs are located at universities all across the United States, each in close partnership with industry. Each ERC provides an environment in which academe and industry collaborate in pursuing strategic advances in complex engineered systems and systems-level technologies that have the potential to spawn whole new industries or to radically transform the product lines, processing technologies, or service delivery methodologies of current industries. Activity within ERCs lies at the interface between the discovery-driven culture of science and the innovation-driven culture of engineering.
Summer 2021 ERC opportunities are listed below. Individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply! Each ERC has unique applications and deadlines.

About AccessERC

AccessERC is a supplemental project of the Center for Neurotechnology (CNT). CNT headquarters are based at the University of Washington in Seattle, and core partners include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and San Diego State University. The CNT’s mission is to develop innovative neural devices and methods for directing engineered neuroplasticity in the brain and spinal cord, which will improve sensory and motor function for people with spinal cord injury, stroke and other neurological disorders.
