The Science Impact Council was founded to help push the Government Sciences community forward. We have a treasure trove of scientists and science support staff on our projects who understand what the Federal agencies are up against- aging technology, outdated policies, and difficulty recruiting and hiring, to name a few. We brought these experts together to form the Science Impact Council in order to identify these problems, brainstorm fixes, and ultimately create solutions to push the Sciences forward in the Federal Government.
The Women of Groundswell group was founded to provide community for women at Groundswell, and allies of women, to learn and grow together. The group provides support and resources for women to achieve their goals and navigate the complex landscape of technology, consulting, and federal contracting.
Join our team
We have the experts to help you become an expert. In 2022 alone, we’ve invested over $750,000 in professional development for our team, one of the reasons why Groundswell is one of the Washington Post’s Top Workplaces.
