Research Corporation for Science Advancement has long strived to advance the scientific enterprise by creating and fostering networks of faculty in chemistry, physics, astronomy, and overlapping fields, and by providing opportunities for these scientists to share ideas on research and teaching. We believe that broad representation around the table, and a spirit of openness that encourages new directions and collaborations, are essential. This report highlights advances RCSA has made in broadening participation in our programs, including two new efforts in 2023: the Robert Holland Jr. Award and the RCSA Fellows initiative.
