Description

The National Academies of Sciences (NAS) seeks support to stand-up and launch its Equity Roundtable. The Roundtable aims to gather multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary experts to identify and leverage evidence-based approaches to shift the STEM ecosystem so that it is more equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The Roundtable would host a series of convenings across several NAS campuses in Washington, D.C., and Irvine, CA, bringing together 30-50 experts. The meeting series would culminate in the development of a systemic action map that would guide a dynamic systems-change strategy. The map would be made available as a resource to all participants. NAS requests funding from the foundation to support meeting expenses, travel costs, and technology support.
