CREATE has released its Annual Impact Report, showcasing another year of impactful research and advocacy in developing accessible technologies.

A key milestone this year is securing a $4.6 million grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research. This five-year grant supports a new Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC), where CREATE will address the risks and opportunities that AI presents for people with disabilities.

This initiative highlights CREATE’s commitment to responsible AI and prioritizing accessibility in technological innovation. CREATE researchers published 57 papers on a range of topics, including AI, early childhood mobility aids, and inclusive design. The report also highlights CREATE’s collaborations with partners, educational initiatives, and advocacy efforts.
