The Time is Now: Systemic Changes to Increase African Americans with Bachelor’s Degrees in Physics and Astronomy
In 2020, TEAM-UP shared its findings in a groundbreaking final report. The Time is Now uncovers long-term systemic issues within the physics and astronomy communities that contribute to the underrepresentation of African Americans in these fields and makes important, actionable recommendations for community wide efforts to reverse this trend.

Task Force Members
Comprised of physicists, astronomers, and higher education researchers, the TEAM-UP Task Force spent two years (2017-2019) conducting research and released its report, “The Time is Now: Systemic Changes to Increase African Americans with Bachelor’s Degrees in Physics and Astronomy,” also known as the “TEAM-UP Report” at the 235th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society in January 2020.
