EBRC Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

EBRC values Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and believes that diverse perspectives and experiences lead to a richer scientific enterprise. EBRC is developing a multi-phased, multi-year action plan to leverage its unique position at the intersection of academia, industry, and government to drive meaningful change. Please complete the survey below that corresponds to your EBRC affiliation, to help drive the development of our DEI action plan.

The survey was developed to require minimal time on your part and can be completed in ten minutes. Responses will be analyzed in aggregate and coupled with an external landscape analysis of the broader field to identify meaningful actions and contributions our EBRC community can make to increase the inclusion and equity of people of color in engineering biology. Your participation is therefore crucial to the development of a successful strategy. We thank you for your guidance and insight.


EBRC also requests any additional comments or feedback from the community regarding our DEI efforts – including questions for the DEI panel on Day 3 of our Annual Meeting (Tue., Apr. 27, 2021). If you would like to offer additional comments related to survey(s) linked above, feedback related to our draft DEI Action Plan, or would like to discuss our efforts with EBRC staff or our DEI consultant, Duane Poe, please fill out the form linked here:
