海角社区appexemplifies inclusive diversity with equity, access and accountability (IDEAA) in the microbial sciences. In practice, 海角社区appworks 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.  海角社区appis committed to supporting and expanding our scientific community as we advance the microbial sciences. As a demonstration of this commitment, 海角社区apprecently 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 ASM’s comments to the NIH. 
 
海角社区appis 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. ASM 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).

海角社区apprecommended 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, 海角社区appoffers a full and committed partnership to NIH.
