Working group description:

 

A core AgBioData goal is to build an inclusive community by embracing the broad cultural and professional diversity in agricultural research and education. Any proposed solutions need to consider the needs of the various stakeholder groups and address barriers towards participation.

 

Main goals:
 

  • Recruit members for the existing AgBioData working groups and the consortium.

  • Develop outreach resources and material to educate about AgBioData, what we do, and how we support the ag research and education community. 

 

We hosted meetings on topics or with organizations actively related to DEI. The recordings of our previous meetings are below:

  • Dr. Rose Marks on "Global disparities in plant science: a legacy of colonialism, patriarchy, and exclusion" | Recording | 
  • Dr. Louis Whitesides, Dr. Alton Thompson, and Dr. Pat Millner on "Establishing relationships with the 1890’s Land Grant Community" | Recording | 
  • Dr. Charla Lambert on "SACNAS 50-year history of diversifying science in the U.S. and the opportunities for outreach, networking, and recruitment activities" | Recording |

To ensure the AgBioData objectives reach and are informed by the entire ag-related genomics, genetics, and breeding communities, a wide diversity of participants will need to be recruited. This includes a variety of data providers, users, publishers, and funders, a range of professional status, students, and underrepresented groups. Inviting liaisons from similar groups, such as the Alliance for Genome Research and the Research Data Alliance may fall to this group as well.
