ABOUT TEAM-UP TOGETHER
TEAM-UP Together is a collective action initiative led by the American Institute of Physics, American Association of Physics Teachers, American Astronomical Society, American Physical Society, and the Society of Physics Students to address the disproportionate underrepresentation of African American undergraduate students in physics and astronomy. This effort aims to provide financial support to African American students and to support the scientific community in doubling the number of African American students earning physics and astronomy bachelor’s degrees annually by 2030. The program is funded by a $12.5 million grant from the Simons Foundation and Simons Foundation International. To learn more, check out teamuptogether.org.
