Community DEI Informational Resources
This site provides a collection of informational resources related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) relevant to the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research and educational environments that the DOE Office of Science (SC) supports. These are resources created and made available by the broader science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) community. The summary of discipline- and demographic-specific reports, workshop proceedings and other resources listed here are intended for convenient access by SC program managers and researchers to enhance their understanding of DEI issues in the scientific enterprise and to promote effective DEI practices in the work environment.
