The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine is examining how to better promote equity for students and professionals in academic science, technology, engineering, and medicine who are also unpaid caregivers of loved ones, including dependent children and adults with serious or chronic illness or disability.
We are looking to engage ~40 individuals in academic STEMM who have caregiving responsibilities outside of work, particularly scientists and professionals of color; those who identify as LGBTQ+, first-gen, or immigrant; those living with disabilities; and those in heavily male-dominated fields (such as physics; computer science; astronomy and astrophysics; and civil, aerospace, electrical, and mechanical engineering). Those selected will be invited to participate in a 1-hour Zoom interview and receive a $75 gift card as a token of thanks.
If you meet these criteria and are interested in being considered for the study, please complete a brief screening form at https://survey.rti.org/se/1/care/. Thanks for your support!
This information will be used for a National Academies of Sciences report on evidence based future policy for faculty and graduate students in STEMM- related fields who also provide caregiving while employed.
