A Vision for Building Anti-Racist Health Systems
Virtual Convening: Tue., May 19 | 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET
What should an anti-racist health system look like? It includes identifying and addressing how differences in access, treatment, and life experiences affect health and require tailored care and treatment.

Join leaders working at the intersection of policy, health, and community as they discuss how to create anti-racist solutions to improve care, and ultimately health.
Panelists will explore:
· The foundational components of building an anti-racist healthcare system
· The power of partnership to improve trust and outcomes
· Addressing structural racism in policy and practice

Tuesday, May 19, 2026

Speakers:
· Jamila Michener, PhD, Associate Professor, Director of the Center for Racial Justice and Equitable Futures—Cornell University

NASA Force, a new hiring initiative developed in partnership with OPM, will recruit and place high-impact technical talent into mission-critical roles supporting NASA’s exploration, research, and advanced technology priorities, ensuring the agency has the cutting-edge expertise
“NASA Force is bringing highly skilled early- to mid-career engineers, technologists and innovators to help us achieve our world-changing missions,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “Our successful Artemis II mission has inspired the world and generated tremendous interest to join our workforce to be part of the Golden Age of innovation and exploration.”
NASA Force is part of a broader US Tech Force initiative established by OPM to recruit elite technical professionals into federal service at multiple agencies
“NASA has always shown the world what American talent can achieve when it’s pointed at a bold mission,” said OPM Director Scott Kupor. “NASA Force is about making sure the agency has access to the next generation of innovation and strong partnerships with private sector talent to drive its very ambitious agenda.”
The first job application under NASA Force is for aerospace engineer positions for a two-year term position, with the potential for additional term extensions. Additional openings are expected in the coming weeks and months.
