Academic partnerships The UNH Institute on Disability is a university-based center within the University of New Hampshire and serves as New Hampshire’s UCED, indicating strong potential for collaboration on disability research, policy initiatives, and student internship programs with healthcare, education, and public policy faculties.

Funding and grants Recent federal and state-level funding activity, including a $250K grant from the Federal Highway Administration to improve highway construction workforce training, suggests opportunities to propose allied projects in accessibility, workforce development, and training programs aligned with federal grant priorities.

Tech enablement A diverse tech stack (SOLIDWORKS, Drupal, WordPress, SAP, DocuSign, Qualtrics, Microsoft Teams, Zoom) indicates readiness for digital transformation, e-learning enhancements, accessibility tooling, and streamlined contract management within disability services and education initiatives.

Research and field programs Engagements in coastal monitoring, tidal research platforms, and partnerships with research sites (Appledore Acoustic Array, Mount Washington Observatory, Hubbard Brook) reveal a strong appetite for engineering, environmental accessibility research, and data-driven program evaluation services.

Industry positioning As a federally designated UCED with a 11-50 employee range and revenue in the lower-mid M$, the institute is positioned to partner with larger disability advocacy networks and nonprofits for scalable programs, training, and dissemination efforts while leveraging federal grant channels.
