National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Workshop

9:00AM – 5:00PM (ET)

APRIL 30, 2024

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are critical to scientific research. The research environments in which they work and learn, however, do not always address their mental, financial, and social well-being or facilitate their full ability to develop professionally and contribute to the STEMM research ecosystem.

Working from both theoretical and practitioner-based perspectives, the Roundtable on Mentorship, Well-being, and Professional Development will seek out examples of improvements and innovations in supportive services and effective mentorship to ultimately catalyze the creation of a more inclusive and equitable higher education and STEMM research ecosystem.

NASEM’s Protecting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Higher Education and the Workforce: A Workshop

 

Sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services, this multiday event will examine how industry and institutions of higher education can safeguard efforts to support diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

 

Major objectives of the workshop include:

• Identify practices with demonstrated success that have led to increased diversity in student and workforce populations;

• Highlight best practices in the selection process for undergraduate, graduate, and medical school admissions and  industry workforce development programs; and

• Explore the impact of movements to reverse legal precedents, such as Affirmative Action, on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in science, engineering, and medicine.
