Abstract:
The Science Mission Directorate (SMD) within NASA is undertaking an Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) change effort. NASA SMD began these efforts as a response to their 2019 FEVS results by choosing Diversity and Inclusion as a focus area. This survey will be used as an evidence-building tool to baseline SMD staff (civil servants and contractors) views on the SMD culture, then periodically (approximately annually) re-assess to determine whether the culture is improving as IDEA efforts are implemented. Data obtained is intended for SMD internal use only and will not be publicly released; it will be used to design its IDEA initiatives and improve its internal environment. This survey will provide insights that the IDEA Working Group will consider to form, refine and prioritize their initiatives, and will serve as an evaluation mechanism to determine if implemented initiatives have had positive effects by comparing this baseline to future assessments.
