As the SRA community is well aware, equity-based work is under attack across the U.S. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being cancelled, equity-based research funding is being terminated, and federal datasets like EJScreen have been removed from official sites. During these uncertain and challenging times, the Justice, Equity and Risk Specialty Group (JERSG) is hosting a roundtable and open forum to discuss the state of equity-based research, funding, and programming across academia, industry, community groups, and regulatory bodies and to share possible solutions to continue to advance this critical work. Panelists will be invited to briefly speak about their own challenges and strategies to progress their work, and the majority of the session will be dedicated to open discussion and group sharing. Community is especially important as we navigate this new environment, and we hope to create a space to process, learn from one another, and identify concrete ways to move forward.
