The MAP partnership pulls together individuals from diverse professional and personal backgrounds. This wealth of experience and knowledge creates an environment that fosters opportunities for growth and learning. Within the partnership, project team members collaborate and build off of one another’s expertise. Community members, organizational and municipal partners, bring valuable knowledge and real-life examples to research constructs. Staff include students, early career professionals , and experienced professionals. At every level, team members are provided opportunities for mentorship, supervision, and training. MAP provides training opportunities through the CARE Program- Certification of Accessibility Research Excellence.
