The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Washington, DC, founded in 1971 to advance equity and full participation of women across all STEM disciplines and employment sectors. Its membership is open to anyone who supports its mission, and it maintains more than 30 grassroots chapters to extend its reach. The organization provides professional development, recognition, and networking opportunities, and it has guided Congress, the United Nations, and industry on decisions and best practices to promote gender diversity and systemic transformation in STEM.

AWIS serves professionals, allies, and institutions seeking to strengthen women’s participation in science. It emphasizes advocacy, thought leadership, publications, organizational best practices, talent management solutions, career resources, mentoring, and leadership opportunities. In 2024 AWIS formed a corporate partnership with Lyten, a company focused on decarbonization technologies, reflecting ongoing engagement with industry partners.
