Broaden SABER 

Broaden SABER is funded through the Leading Culture Change Through Professional Societies of Biology (BIO-LEAPS) program of the National Science Foundation. 

The goals of this project are as follows: 

  1. Broadly and systematically advertise and recruit for SABER to broaden its reach to organizations, institutions, and individuals who are not currently aware of SABER, 
  2. Offer travel support for individuals who are members of groups typically underrepresented in biology or who work at historically black colleges and universities and other minority-serving institutions to attend the national meeting,  
  3. Offer mentorship related to inclusion to individuals in leadership positions at SABER, and 
  4. Develop networking, mentoring, and leadership opportunities to sustain the involvement of diverse members within SABER.
