6. Creation of the IAGD Foundation
The IAGD is currently collaborating with the Geological Society of America (GSA) to create a foundation. The establishment of this foundation will enable the IAGD to provide seed grants to students interested in conducting research on accessibility in the geosciences; travel support for students to present their research at national and international conferences; and grants for researchers working to increase access and inclusion for students with disabilities in the geosciences.
If you would like to assist in the planning for the IAGD Foundation, please contact us at info@theiagd.org.
