APS-IDEA Network Members

APS-IDEA members form teams that implement research-based transformational methods to drive cultural change and center people with marginalized identities in their academic departments and laboratories.

Teams come together to discuss shared challenges and strategies for transformation in topical cohorts.

Types and number of network members

The APS-IDEA network spans 99 teams and nearly 1,500 individuals drawn from a wide range of physics organizations—departments, national laboratories, large collaborations from within the US and around the world—dedicated to improving justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in physics.

APS supports these teams of physicists through shared communities, online resources and facilitation assistance to accelerate results. However, with a grassroots model, APS-IDEA teams share leadership across all levels, from students up to faculty.
