Hi David, and All,

Actually, I just spoke with Matt & he said there was a slight 
misunderstanding, and that they were only able to reimburse for local 
travel, not nationally.

Strive On!

Subject: [VICUG-L] This impacts us all: Seeking participants for project on 
making American paper money accessible for the blind


Hi all,

Please read the message below carefully and respond appropriately.
Thanks!

I am a researcher at Westat, a firm in Rockville, Maryland.  We are 
currently working with Lighthouse International on a contract from the 
United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing.  We are testing prototypes 
of American paper money that has tactile cues so that blind people can 
distinguish the value of the bills.

We are seeking participants for this project.

Participation takes ninety minutes.  During the ninety minutes, we ask the 
participants to feel the tactile cues on the bills and tell us what they 
feel.

We are giving participants fifty dollars as a thank you.  We will also 
reimburse participants for travel to and from Rockville.

Participants must be blind to the extent that they cannot distinguish the 
value of existing American paper money by looking at it.

We are running the participants from November 28 to December 5.

If you are interested, or know others who may be interested, please email 
Matthew Bernstein at [log in to unmask] or call him at (301) 
294-2896.

Thank you,

Sid J. Schneider, Ph.D.
