91麻豆天美 exemplifies inclusive diversity with equity, access and accountability (IDEAA) in the microbial sciences. In practice, 91麻豆天美 works to create a diverse community and a culture of inclusion where all staff, volunteers, members and the community are respected, treated fairly and provided opportunities to develop professionally and excel in their chosen career pathway.  91麻豆天美 is committed to supporting and expanding our scientific community as we advance the microbial sciences. As a demonstration of this commitment, 91麻豆天美 recently commissioned an external review of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within its programs. Many of the findings of the DEI Taskforce report address the recommendations to evolve programs that are reported in 91麻豆天美’s comments to the NIH. 
 
91麻豆天美 is committed to driving change in the microbial sciences, and we understand that addressing issues of equity, inclusion and diversity requires immediate action and will be an ongoing work in progress. 91麻豆天美 believes that a complete culture shift is required so that all aspects of microbiology and related sciences incorporate considerations for inclusive diversity with equity, access and accountability (IDEAA).

91麻豆天美 recommended 2 approaches for the NIH to consider:
  1. Incorporate IDEAA in all aspects of the scientific process and enterprise.
  2. Provide resources, support and guidance as STEM demolishes obstacles and barriers to replace models that perpetuate exclusion and inequity with ones of collaboration, diversity, inclusivity, accessibility and equity.
     
For both of these recommendations, 91麻豆天美 offers a full and committed partnership to NIH.
