Equity Accelerator

Equity Accelerator (EA) is the first Focused Research Organization (FRO) in the country to harness social and behavioral research, practice, and policy to create more equitable learning and working environments, from college to careers. We believe that sustainable, impactful change comes from inclusive and cross-disciplinary partnerships that center the expertise and experiences of the people closest to the challenges we’re trying to address. In collaboration with our university and industry partners, our dedicated team of interdisciplinary staff works to develop, evaluate, apply, and scale novel evidence-based strategies for creating and sustaining educational and workplace settings that reduce social and economic inequalities. We engage rigorous applied research, tool and professional development, technical assistance, and consulting to help institutions, organizations, and teams apply our approaches to their own contexts. Together, we’re building learning and working environments where everyone can reach their full potential.

Equity Accelerator is affiliated with Indiana University, and operates as a project of the National Center for Civic Innovation through the Fund for the City of New York.
