SEA Change Awards recognize institutions and academic units that are taking concrete, evidence-informed steps to make science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) more excellent, accessible, and inclusive.
Building on years of work with colleges, universities, and biomedical organizations, the awards focus on progress that changes the system—policies, practices, & cultures, not just individual programs—so that more people can fully participate in STEMM.
