Using the Catalyst methodology for innovating for impact, a multidisciplinary
and multi-sector team of faculty mentors will guide
participants through a structured process to consider real-world needs,
plausible solutions, and viable action plans to develop proposals that, if
successful, will lead to a clear and specific benefit

This Fall 2019 cohort will focus on Down Syndrome to produce research
and technology that give people with disabilities the possibility of
developing greater social and practical skills and improving their quality
of life in order to enhance their participation in the educational system,
in the workforce, and in community life.
