AMNH-RGGS is committed to being a diverse and inclusive community. The Museum has successfully recruited diverse participation for its NSF-supported undergraduate research programs and pre-college science pipeline programs (which have enjoyed high participation rates by minorities and women). As part of its doctoral student recruitment, AMNH-RGGS reaches out to successful participants in these programs and employs a variety of techniques to encourage the involvement of, and applications from, students in groups underrepresented in science, nationally and internationally. Over time, our Comparative Biology Ph.D. program has included approximately 50% women, and substantial numbers of students from groups historically under-represented in science.
