The Center for Document Development

The CDD promotes the creation of friendlier, more readable documentation across Rutgers University. It informs a broader public through tutorials and manuals, as well as by example, presenting Rutgers-made documents as models of accessibility. The CDD also supports faculty research into the creation of documentation of all types. CDD members also serve as consultants to public officials, businesses, schools, and non-governmental organizations.

CDD is based in New Brunswick on the Busch campus and works closely with the Writing Program of the Department of English, the Center for the Advancement of Teaching, and the Department of Visual Arts of the Mason Gross School of the Arts. The Center is funded by grants from Rutgers University and external agencies and foundations.
