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.
