UCAR

UCAR’s DEI vision is to be an employer of choice for people from all backgrounds and identities, and to integrate those diverse perspectives through inclusive and equitable practices in all of our research and operations.

As an organization, we are committed to fostering a diverse workforce across all identities and at all levels, removing barriers that prevent people from fair and equitable participation in our organization, and building a workplace culture where everyone belongs and feels supported. It’s the right thing to do for our workforce, and it’s the right thing to do for our mission: individuals from a variety of backgrounds and identities who are supported and empowered can work together to create more innovative and expansive questions and solutions. Together, we are better positioned to solve the toughest and most complex scientific challenges facing our planet.

UCAR’s Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) is responsible for setting the direction of UCAR’s DEI strategic planning, but many offices are leading the charge around DEI. ODEI partners closely across the entire organization to weave these principles into everything our organization does. This website and the UCAR DEI Strategic Plan represent the whole of UCAR’s commitment and initiatives, not only those run through ODEI, NSF NCAR’s DEI Office, or UCP’s DEI liaison.

These are our four strategic goals as an organization:

 

Goal 1: A diverse workforce at all levels - Recruiting, retaining, promoting, and investing in a diverse and inclusive workforce at all levels.

 

Goal 2: A welcoming, ethical, and inclusive workplace - Fostering a workplace culture that promotes inclusive excellence and psychological safety for all, where we are all encouraged and valued in bringing our talents, skills, and ideas to our mission, no matter our job title.

 

Goal 3: Ethical partnerships - Partnering with others through culturally responsive practices; working with underrepresented communities in mutually supportive and trusted relationships to enhance and drive co-created scientific research.

 

Goal 4: Accountability and Metrics - Measuring our impact, committing to transparency, and being accountable to our diverse communities and to society.
