IEEE's highly-cited scholarly publications, conference proceedings, and other materials help foster the exchange of technical knowledge and information related to accessibility. The IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board (HTB) has established the IEEE HTB & SIGHT Taenzer Grant Program which focuses on empowering technologists around the globe to advance assistive technologies and technological solutions for persons with disabilities and their communities, and supporting engineers in low-resource countries.
