The INFORMS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Ambassadors Program will bring together groups of academic and practitioner members, graduate and undergraduate students, post-docs, and staff who will individually and/or collectively work on initiatives to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive INFORMS community.
The program is intended to provide a platform for our members to engage in DEI initiatives in a variety of areas including workplace practices, teaching, and research, and leverage our capacities as individuals (practitioners, researchers, educators, students, and staff) to contribute to improving diversity, equity, and inclusion among the broader INFORMS community.
In support of this effort, the DEI committee is currently awarding small grants (up to $2,500) for work that helps support this effort. Up to 20 projects will be funded. Guidelines to apply for a grant are as follows:
- Any INFORMS member or staff can apply
- Interested participants should submit an application by December 13, 2020
- Projects will run during 2021
- Up to 15 projects will be funded
- More details provided on the application site.
