Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Bias (IDEA) Committee

About this program

The American Society of Mammalogists’ Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Bias (IDEA) Committee offers awards to support workshops, symposia, and other initiatives that reduce barriers and increase diversity and active participation in ASM activities, service, and governance. Funding is intended to enable programs that expand inclusion across gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability status, and sexual orientation and to promote equitable participation of under‑represented groups. Eligible applicants are those organizing ASM‑affiliated activities whose proposals clearly align with the IDEA Committee’s mission to broaden and facilitate participation in the Society. Specific application procedures, deadlines, and detailed eligibility criteria are provided by the IDEA Committee.
