The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, or NASEM, closed its Office of Diversity and Inclusion and paused projects on diversity, equity and inclusion (D.E.I.).
The impact of President Trump's executive order on D.E.I. is altering scientific exploration and research agendas in federal agencies and institutions.
NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy have made changes to their programs and initiatives related to inclusivity and diversity.
D.E.I. programs were initiated to address historical underrepresentation of minorities in science, where women, Black individuals, and Indigenous individuals are still underrepresented.
