The racial and ethnic categories listed below conform to current US Census reporting terminology. These reporting categories were selected for the purposes of collecting membership information in alignment with standards of demographic data collection used for US-based funding agencies.

DRS may seek funding from such agencies to support its activities. DRS is aware of the limitations of these terms and the potential for these categories to not align with the diversity of our members in terms of national origin, lived sociocultural experiences, and personal self-identification. We invite members to self-identify using the "prefer to self-identify" option as appropriate so that we may better understand the demographic make-up membership base in order to best serve the diverse needs of all DRS members.














Do you currently receive active mentorship by someone who is a member of DRS or who has recently presented at DRS?
