Resource Library Curation

The ARC Network offers a rich library of curated resources to aid the community in their STEM equity efforts. Reports, white papers, briefings, unpublished manuscripts, toolkits, datasets, training videos, evaluation practices, and many other resources produced by researchers and practitioners are a key part of well-informed systemic change.

Online Community and Virtual Engagement

Our community engagement strategy moves beyond traditional list-servs and social media to incorporate regular programming, like meet-ups, live online chats and weekly shout-out threads as consistent ways for community members to interact.

As the go-to hub for community collaboration, the ARC Network platform offers events hosted by the community and provides online learning opportunities, such as webinars and virtual workshops. These online events build community, create resource awareness, offer training on adapting resources, share emerging research and agendas, and more.

Community Convening

The ARC Network hosts the biennual Community Convening, bringing together members of the community to share research, resources, and best practices for STEM equity. This work expands upon the annual NSF ADVANCE PI Workshop, which AWIS has organized since 2009.
