Action Collaborative for Supporting Caregivers in Science, Engineering, and Medicine

The Caregiving Collaborative is a national effort engaging research institutions, including colleges and universities, academic medical centers, and national laboratories, in coordinated action to retain caregivers working and learning in science, engineering, and medicine. Led by the National Academies, participating institutions form a learning community committed to implementing evidence-based practices that support caregivers across education and career stages. Because caregiving responsibilities fall disproportionately to women, these changes will reduce preventable attrition from these fields.
