AURC Membership Form |
What is the AURC?
The Accessibility User Research Collective (AURC) is national network of people with disabilities who are interested in participating in accessibility and usability studies. The AURC connects people with disabilities to product developers in the technology industry to inform inclusive and accessible design of their products and services.
How do I join the AURC?
Complete this membership form about you, your accessibility needs, and your technology use. This helps AURC researchers match you to AURC studies that you may be eligible for. This membership form is estimated to take about 20 minutes to complete, and you may skip questions or stop completing this membership form at any time.
We welcome anyone who is an adult with a disability living in the United States of America. If you need assistance in completing this membership form, please email AURC@shepherd.org or call 404-350-7667.
How do I participate in AURC research studies?
AURC researchers use this membership form to identify eligible participants for new studies.
