NOAA increasingly addresses issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and justice (DEIAJ), both in internal strategic documents and by following direction from the Executive Branch. While many of these topics relate to workforce diversity, DEIAJ also relates to NOAA data and data governance for service equity. For instance, which stakeholders can access NOAA data and downstream products and services, and is access equitable across, for example, tribal governments and minority serving institutions in higher education? Furthermore, is NOAA collecting or funding the collection of data about issues relevant to those from underserved and historically marginalized groups? What rights do people have to data collected about them or their property? And for workforce, how can NOAA’s data governance community reflect the demography and interests of all Americans?
This session invites abstracts for presentations about intersections between DEIAJ and NOAA data governance. In addition to the questions above and many other topics, abstracts might discuss ongoing projects related to building partnerships with a diverse array of stakeholders, collecting and storing data that can be disaggregated along intersectional categories, DEIAJ overlaps with data governance principle, or developing informational portals, analysis tools, and services that are equitable.
