A Sweeping Ban on D.E.I. Language Roils the Sciences

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) has long been recognized as an independent and influential institution dedicated to investigating and reporting on a wide range of subjects. With a history spanning over 162 years, NASEM has been at the forefront of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (D.E.I) in recent years, emphasizing the importance of representation and inclusivity in scientific fields.

However, a significant shift occurred on January 31st when the Trump administration issued a “stop work” order to NASEM, prompting the institute to close its Office of Diversity and Inclusion and scale back its focus on D.E.I initiatives. This sudden change in priorities reflects the broader impact of President Trump’s executive order on D.E.I, which has led to a crackdown on such programs in scientific institutions across the country.

Federal agencies like NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy have also felt the effects of this executive order, with many programs and initiatives related to diversity and inclusion being either suspended or modified. These actions have raised concerns about the future of underrepresented groups in the scientific workforce, as initiatives aimed at addressing historical disparities are being dismantled.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is currently undergoing a review of its grants to ensure compliance with the executive order. Grants that include references to D.E.I related terms are being flagged for further review, leading to uncertainty and confusion among scientists who rely on NSF funding for their research.

The broader impact of these changes is being felt beyond federal institutions, with organizations like the Howard Hughes Medical Institute canceling programs aimed at promoting inclusivity in STEM education. Scientists abroad are also concerned about the implications of these rollbacks, with some fearing a decrease in funding opportunities due to the changing landscape of D.E.I initiatives.

Despite these challenges, some individuals remain committed to advancing D.E.I in their respective fields, even in the face of adversity. Scientists like Johan Bonilla Castro and others continue to advocate for diversity and inclusion in their research and grant proposals, recognizing the importance of representation and dignity in their work.

Overall, the recent changes in scientific institutions highlight the ongoing struggle to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the scientific community. As institutions navigate the shifting landscape of D.E.I initiatives, it is essential to prioritize inclusivity and representation to ensure a more equitable and diverse scientific workforce.
