The Office of Diversity and Inclusion

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) ensures that the NRAO’s ideals of equitable access for all are put into practice. ODI provides support so that underrepresented students, professionals, and staff in astronomy can have equitable access to educational and professional experiences.  ODI’s equity work reaches grade school students, college and graduate students, career professionals, and institutions through their Broader Impact programs, and through NRAO workplace training and policies.


NRAO Diversity & Inclusion Statement

At NRAO, we believe that a diverse staff is critical for our mission to enable world-class science with cutting-edge radio facilities for the scientific community, train the next generation of scientists and engineers, and to foster a scientifically literate society.   We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace culture that appreciates all individuals across all identities, including race, gender, gender identity/expression, age, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, or national origin and culture.


The NRAO is dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion in all its interactions with the wider community. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) has its own team and collaborates with various departments and organizations to create more opportunities for current and future astronomers, scientists, and staff. ODI is always open to partnering with others who share this commitment.
