Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, & Accessibility
In an era marked by rapid societal change and growing recognition of the vital role diversity plays in innovation and progress, AIP is committed to fostering a culture that embraces diversity, advances equity, and promotes inclusion across the physical sciences. To spur collaboration and advance goals towards achieving diversity, AIP’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, & Accessibility (DEIBA) Strategic Plan addresses the continued under-representation of racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ+ people, and people with disabilities in STEM.
DEIBA Initiative Goals
DEIBA Initiative Goals
AIP will lead the Federation in accomplishing three goals outlined in the DEIBA strategic plan :
1. Diversify the physical sciences by fostering environments of inclusiveness and belonging;
2. Develop and adopt best practices to promote and stimulate diversity;
3. Create tools, resources, and programs to support DEIBA initiatives for Member Societies.
Our initiatives include collective action by AIP’s Member Societies and build upon AIP’s programmatic efforts aimed at improving diversity, creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and increasing the visibility of AIP as a leader of DEIBA in the physical sciences community.

I want to make sure students don’t experience feelings of isolation like I did. I want to help ensure that future generations will be seen and heard.

Growing up I always longed to see a scientist that looked like me. Although I didn’t have the resources, I did whatever I could to learn more about the field I was so passionate about.
