Documento Informativo: Borrador del Plan de Implementación de la Política de Género y EDI del IAI

The document outlines a comprehensive framework to integrate Gender, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) into the IAI's operations. It defines eight operational goals, ranging from improving hiring and funding processes to increasing the visibility of equity-seeking groups in global environmental change research. The plan includes specific actions such as requiring EDI and mentoring plans for all funded research proposals after 2023, developing evaluation rubrics to mitigate bias, and establishing an Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities Advisory Committee.

• The IAI has established eight operational goals to implement its Gender and EDI Policy, which include promoting EDI in science, mainstreaming EDI in IAI activities, reducing biases in project selection, and increasing regional capacities for EDI in sciences.
• For research funding, the IAI proposes that all research proposals funded after 2023 must include an EDI plan and, if students or post-doctorates are involved, a mentoring plan.
• To ensure fair funding and selection, the plan recommends developing clear evaluation rubrics, providing bias training for reviewers, and ensuring review committees are representative of the Americas' diversity.
• The IAI aims to improve its internal work environment by updating staff manuals and whistleblower policies, implementing flexible work hours, and designating a confidential contact person or ombudsman for employees and grant recipients.
• The plan proposes enhancing hiring and selection practices through the use of accessibility processes, diverse selection committees, and the collection of demographic data at all stages of the grant process.
• To increase the visibility of equity-seeking groups in global environmental change (CAG), the IAI suggests highlighting diverse members on its website, providing financial support for them to be speakers at events, and creating IAI awards.
• The document recommends the creation of an Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities Advisory Committee (IP&LC-AC) to provide recommendations on the IAI's Scientific Agenda and Strategic Plan, specifically including young indigenous people.
