    Dear Colleagues,

    The  U.S. National Academy of Sciences will be holding a free  public research symposium on work and family policies  and practices Monday, March 27, from 12 to 5 PM  EST in Washington D.C. and  a registration link is below to attend virtually if of interest.

    The committee is tasked with conducting a consensus study on evidence- based policies and practices to support faculty, postdocs, and doctoral students' caregiving needs, while advancing in an academic career with a focus on STEM  disciplines (but all disciplines are to be included in the study).

    More importantly,  if you have any research that you would like the NAS expert committee to review for possible inclusion in the  consensus report, please send research to the website below for consideration for inclusion. It is important that management and organizational scholarly research and best practices are well-represented in the study.
