Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM Organizations:
Beyond Broadening Participation
This new report, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 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 report 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.
This briefing was for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on February 14, 2023 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
