About the ARC Network:

The ARC Network Project, funded by a generous grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), aspires to disrupt the cultural barriers and artificial boundaries that have reduced the efficacy of diverse global efforts to bring gender equity to STEM in the academic workplace. Through the ARC Network, researchers, practitioners, administrators, decision-makers, faculty, funders, editorial staff and publishers, evaluation committee members, diversity and inclusion groups, professional societies, industry stakeholders, existing and emerging communities of practice, and more will collaborate, share, and adopt equity resources, including research, data, standards for research and evaluation instrumentation, and evidence-based practices, programmatic activities, tools, training, strategies, and policies proven to effect change.
