The University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology have partnered together and established the Rochester Bridges to the Doctorate Program to address this gap.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing and dream of becoming a research scientist, the Bridges Program might be a good fit for you. Check us out at http://deafscientists.com
