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.
