National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine-UArizona Partnership

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and the world. NASEM's work helps shape policies, inform public opinion, and advance the pursuit of science, engineering, and medicine.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (The National Academies) spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. Learn more about NASEM in this website.

The University of Arizona is involved in two initiatives with NASEM that reaffirm our commitment to our institutional values and align with NASEM’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement and Guiding Principles

  1. Action Collaborative Partner Network for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment.
  2. Action Collaborative on Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech.

The University of Arizona (UArizona) is committed to and will actively participate in the Action Collaborative Partner Network. We commit to sharing information about our institutions efforts and innovations in preventing and addressing sexual harassment. We will use, adapt, implement and share the resources and best practices identified by the Action Collaborative. 

Action Collaborative Partner Network

Through the action collaborative, organizations will work together to improve pathways in tech education and participation in the tech workforce for women who identify as African American, Black, Hispanic, Latina, Native American, Asian American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. The effort is being guided by the National Academies’ report Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech, which provides evidence-based findings and recommendations for increasing recruitment, retention, and advancement of women of color in tech fields.
