Dear All,
This National Academies report is now public: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26803/advancing-antiracism-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-stemm-organizations-beyond. They also have an interactive resource, described in the excerpt below.
The NIH is also promoting the report with the email outreach text below with a link to a statement from NIH Acting Director Lawrence Tabak:
Today, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released a report that makes recommendations for advancing antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) organizations.
NIH provided funding for the report to help inform the NIH's ongoing efforts to improve the diversity of the scientific workforce and address structural racism in biomedical research.
Read the statement to learn more.
Best,
Steve

Individuals from minoritized racial and ethnic groups continue to face systemic barriers that impede their ability to access, persist, and thrive in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) higher education and the STEMM workforce. To retain much needed talent and benefit from the ideas that come from having a diverse workforce, STEMM organizations must dismantle policies and practices that disadvantage people from minoritized groups.
A new interactive resource from the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences outlines actions that top leaders and gatekeepers in STEMM organizations, such as presidents and chief executive officers, can take to foster a culture and climate of antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion that is genuinely accessible and supportive to all. The resource also examines the backdrop of systemic racism in the United States that has harmed and continues to harm people from minoritized groups, which is critical for understanding the unequal representation in STEMM.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is pleased to announce that the consensus study report Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM Organizations: Beyond Broadening Participation will be released on February 14, 2023 at 11:00 am ET.
The report will review the literature on bias and racism in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) workplaces; approaches to increase racial and ethnic diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in STEM organizations (e.g., universities, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, and industry); and offer best policies and practices for DEI and anti-racism initiatives, as well as outline goals for relevant, future research and for organizational strategic planning.
Please join Dr. Gilda Barabino and Dr. Susan Fiske, the study co-chairs, and committee members for an overview of the report and a discussion of the conclusions and recommendations. |
