A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a day and a half public workshop to examine local, regional, and national opportunities to engage with and leverage community support and mutually-beneficial partnerships that build inclusive environments for Black undergraduate, graduate, and medical students and increase the representation of Black professionals in science, engineering, and medicine (SEM). The workshop will identify practices, policies, and partnerships with demonstrated success, lay a foundation for collaborative dialogue, and identify the resources and actions necessary to further positive change for Black SEM student and professionals. Major objectives of the workshop include:

1. Identify community organizations that have demonstrated success in creating more inclusive higher educational environments through mutually-beneficial partnerships, particularly with HBCUs.
2. Explore underused and unknown opportunities that may support Black students in finishing SEM programs;
3. Identify ways to strengthen support for community organizations in improving interactions with universities to support Black students, scientists, engineers, and physicians so that the community at-large will be stronger and better able to provide support.

Following the workshop, a rapporteur-authored workshop proceedings will be published.
