- Impactful science
- Community
- Diversity
Conducting impactful science means doing science that has an impact in our diverse communities and realizing those impacts through education and engagement. Science plays a critical role in defining, understanding, and solving humanity’s most pressing needs for a sustainable future, the well-being of the communities in which we live and work, and the continued economic prosperity of our nation.
Fulfilling our mandate requires us to engage our community, the people where we work and live. We understand that both impactful science and serving our communities require diversity of demographics, thought, and experience. We commit to increasing and supporting diversity at our Institution and throughout our scientific and local communities. We will hold ourselves and our organization accountable to take meaningful action toward a more diverse and equitable global scientific community.
