Got a great idea to improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Indiana science?  Need some funding?

DEI Grant Deadline has been extended to April 15, 2022!

The Indiana Academy of Science is proud to announce new funding to support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts in the state of Indiana. 
 

Integral to the Indiana Academy of Science’s mission is a commitment to fostering a culture of inclusion and equity within the Academy and embracing diversity, in all its forms. This commitment is founded on the belief that meaningful scientific progress requires the contributions of divergent ideas and points of view that are possible only when all voices are valued. Our goal is to promote an environment in which all individuals share a sense of belonging, feel respected, are treated fairly, are provided opportunities to develop professionally, and can excel in their chosen career paths. We seek to remove barriers to this goal, including those grounded in the structural inequities within our own institutions, organizations, and society. To achieve this, we will share scientific ideas across the spectrum of our disciplinary perspectives and promote collaborative and interdisciplinary research and science education. In doing so, we will empower one another as we engage with a global network of scientists and our statewide community.<>

 

As the funds available to support projects are limited, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee strongly encourages novel programs that have the broadest possible impact. Examples of projects could include campus climate surveys, funds to implement inclusive practices/programs, or pay for students to attend conferences, etc.<>

 

Supported programs will have a period of performance of one year with a possibility of renewal.

Proposals are due April 15, 2022. Find more information here.

Looking to keep your high school and middle school students  involved in a multiple aspects of science at home during the holidays?    How about engaging them in some Kitchen Table Science? 

These short videos are produced by members of the Indiana Academy of Science,  including Indiana senior scientists, graduate science students and undergraduate science students from multiple science disciplines. The videos are designed to enhance critical thinking skills through the use of scientific method in addressing a problem that has surfaced in a particular science discipline, graphically present the daily use of science, simply share knowledge about a topic of science that is of major interest today, or give guidance for students who have questions about how to become a scientist.  Click on this link to enjoy!.
