10 Executive Summary The Uited States is the world s leader i sciece. Maitaiig this status is cosidered to be a atioal priority. Doig so, however, requires the Uited States to respod to critical challeges. These challeges iclude shortages of fudig for the federal sciece agecies, icreasig global competitio, ad a shrikig pipelie of taleted people iterested i sciece, techology, ad cliical careers. Embedded i these challeges is oe that has remaied usolved for decades: the eed to tap ad develop all of the diverse talets that make up this coutry s huma capital. I additio to askig whether we are preparig sufficiet umbers of scietists with the skills ecessary to meet the workforce eeds of the 21 st cetury, we eed to esure that future geeratios of scietists fully egage the atio s spectrum of racial ad ethic diversity so all might cotribute to ad beefit from our scietific achievemets. To keep pace i a global ecoomy, the atio must develop ad promote the talets of its etire populatio; it caot afford to squader the capacity of traditioally uderrepreseted ethic or racial miorities. Professioal associatios ad scietific societies have examied racial/ethic uderrepresetatio across the sciece disciplies to determie what they should do to address the problem. For example, orgaizatios such as the Istitute of Medicie, the Sulliva Commissio, the Natioal Sciece Board, ad the Natioal Workshop o Improvig Educatio i the Social, Behavioral, ad Ecoomic Scieces have issued reports ad recommedatios over the past five years. Similar work has also bee coducted o workforce diversity i related professios such as mathematics, chemical scieces, ad iformatio techology. So far, the outcomes, as measured by diversity i the sciece professios, have bee poor. Recogizig that more must be doe to icrease diversity, the Cosortium of Social Sciece Associatios (COSSA) orgaized ad coordiated with eight other professioal associatios ad scietific societies to hold a discipliary-wide retreat o February 28, The purpose of this retreat was to discuss the role of these orgaizatios i Ehacig Diversity i Sciece. Retreat orgaizers icluded: AAAS Ceter for Careers i Sciece ad Techology, the America Educatioal Research Associatio (AERA), the America Sociological Associatio (ASA), the America Psychological Associatio (APA), the Associatio of America Medical Colleges (AAMC), the Federatio of America Societies for Experimetal Biology (FASEB), the Istitute for the Advacemet of Social Work Research (IASWR), ad the Society for Research i Child Developmet (SRCD). Primary fudig for the retreat was provided by the Natioal Istitutes of Health (NIH), with additioal fudig from the Natioal Sciece Foudatio (NSF). The retreat participats made the followig recommedatios: Recruit ad Retai Uderrepreseted Miorities Professioal associatios ad scietific societies should make recruitmet ad retetio of uderrepreseted miority scietists goals of their orgaizatios. These orgaizatios should work with their membership, academic istitutios, ad fudig agecies to moitor impact of programs aimed at broadeig participatio i sciece ad to develop ad sustai effective, ew iitiatives. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Icorporate diversity goals ito their strategic plas. They should espouse iclusio priciples i their policies, strategies, program desigs, ad leadership. Work to improve the collectio ad evaluatio of empirical data o uderrepreseted miorities, as well as research o program outcomes. Likewise, they should work with their members to emphasize the importace of good data collectio ad evaluatio at their home istitutios. Idetify, highlight, ad reward model programs ad best practices for ehacig diversity. Commuicate with uiversities about the status of uderrepreseted miorities i sciece to raise awareess ad demostrate commitmet ad leadership i settig expectatios ad orms for behavior. Provide tools, resources, ad icetives to improve member metorig ad provide support to uder- 2 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

11 represeted miorities durig trasitio periods whe there may be gaps i metorig. Provide or idetify fiacial support for professioal developmet workshops. Advocate for policies ad fudig to support diversity iitiatives. Ehace Metorig of Uderrepreseted Miorities Metorig uderrepreseted miorities should be itegral to ay iitiative or program desiged to ehace diversity i the scieces. Orgaizatios should emphasize the importace of metorig ad promote ad facilitate metorig of studets ad juior scietists by their seior colleagues. Special metorig efforts should be made for miority scholars. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Collaborate to emphasize the importace of metorig throughout its member programs ad services, ad demostrate the importace of metorig to their field ad their sciece. This could lead to ew models for other istitutios. Reward faculty for time spet o metorig ad ecourage the provisio of grats that offer protected time for metorig activities. Demostrate the importace of metorig by showcasig the successes of metored miority scietists ad idetify a pool of metors ad metees who ca promote the value of metorig. Build a ifrastructure to support log-term metorig relatioships ad develop a mechaism to evaluate the sustaiability of these relatioships. Collaborate to develop resources ad programs to help metors ad metees uderstad goals ad expectatios. Use professioal ewsletters to promote these resources. Ivite studets to aual meetigs for scietific ad oscietific programmig ad etworkig opportuities. Collaborate to develop defiitios of program success ad program evaluatio metrics ad to collect empirical data o program outcomes. Improve Evaluatio of Diversity Program Outcomes Professioal associatios ad scietific societies should work together to develop a comprehesive data collectio ad evaluatio system to moitor the success of diversity programs. This iformatio should be collected ad shared across orgaizatios ad with the public to idetify treds, best practices, ad areas that eed improvemet to ehace diversity. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Work together to collect ad critically review research ad best practices o diversity programs that ca be evaluated ad geeralized across disciplies. These data could be used to geerate a typology of programs accordig to goals ad career stage. This iformatio should be cotiually updated ad made publicly available by various meas (e.g., Iteret, joural articles, critical reviews). Covey to their members the value of providig demographic data about themselves so as to icrease the provisio of this iformatio. Work with federal agecies to better iform datacollectio strategies ad to itegrate datasets, whe possible. Advocate for ehacig federal logitudial data collectio strategies for uderrepreseted miority issues, as well as for icludig fiacial support for program evaluatio. Collaborate with fudig agecies ad uiversity departmets to collect data o miority scietists ad diversity programs. Ideally, orgaizatios will work with differet departmets at the same istitutio to achieve critical mass across disciplies ad to icrease awareess of what is beig doe o the issue ad what has prove successful. Build Public Support for a Diverse Scietific Workforce Professioal associatios ad scietific societies should work together to commuicate the importace of broadeig participatio i sciece to their members, the Ehacig Diversity i Sciece 3

12 Executive Summary (Cot d) public, ad policymakers. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Develop a joit public statemet that simply ad coheretly articulates commo goals with regard to diversity ad ecourages policy developmet to affirm those goals. Gather data to iform policy decisios ad work together to idetify best practices ad commo challeges to ehacig diversity i sciece. This may ivolve examiig the social sciece research o the beefits of diversity, traslatig research fidigs ito actio steps, ad recogizig ad supportig good istitutioal practices. Promote the value of ehacig diversity to their members ad provide them with the impetus, foudatio, ad tools to take actio o this issue. Develop a iformal etwork of idividuals that ca commuicate about diversity i sciece to the leadership ad membership of other orgaizatios. 4 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

13 Itroductio The Uited States is the world s leader i sciece. Maitaiig this status is cosidered to be a atioal priority. Doig so, however, requires the Uited States to respod to critical challeges. These challeges iclude shortages of fudig for the federal sciece agecies, icreasig global competitio, ad a shrikig pipelie of taleted people iterested i sciece, techology, ad cliical careers. Embedded i these challeges is oe that has remaied usolved for decades: the eed to tap ad develop all of the diverse talets that make up this coutry s huma capital. I additio to askig whether we are preparig sufficiet umbers of scietists with the skills ecessary to meet the workforce eeds of the 21 st cetury, we eed to esure that future geeratios of scietists fully egage the atio s spectrum of racial ad ethic diversity so all might cotribute to ad beefit from our scietific achievemets. To keep pace i a global ecoomy, the atio must develop ad promote the talets of its etire populatio; it caot afford to squader the capacity of traditioally uderrepreseted ethic or racial miorities. Studies of the U.S. scietific workforce reveal a startlig picture. The Uited States fails to take full advatage of its populatio s uique diversity ad the varied perspectives it brigs. Studies routiely show that the umber of scietists from ethic ad racial miorities are uderrepreseted across all sciece disciplies. Followig the Natioal Istitutes of Health s desigatio, this report cosiders those uderrepreseted miorities to iclude racial ad ethic groups of black or Africa America, Hispaic or Latio, America Idia or Alaska Native, ad Native Hawaiia or other Pacific Islader populatios. Several professioal associatios ad scietific societies have examied this racial/ethic uder-represetatio across the sciece disciplies. For example, I the Natio s Compellig Iterest: Esurig Diversity i the Health Care Workforce 1 (the Sulliva Commissio s report) ad Missig Persos: Miorities i the Health Professios 2 examied efforts to icrease diversity i medicie ad i health professios geerally. I The Sciece ad Egieerig Workforce: Realizig America s Potetial, 3 the Natioal Sciece Board published recommedatios for federal itervetios to build diversity amog scietists ad egieers. The Natioal Workshop o Improvig Educatio i the Social, Behavioral, ad Ecoomic Scieces report, Educatio ad Traiig i the Social, Behavioral, ad Ecoomic Scieces: A Pla of Actio, 4 exteds the aalysis beyod the physical ad atural scieces. Similar research also has bee coducted o workforce diversity i professios such as mathematics, chemical scieces, ad iformatio techology. 5,67, Icreased commuicatio ad collaboratio amog professioal associatios ad scietific societies ca be a key igrediet i ehacig diversity i sciece. Workig together, these orgaizatios ca, for example, formulate icetives, develop ad share empirically based kowledge, stregthe metorig ad support for 1 Istitute of Medicie I the Natio s Compellig Iterest: Esurig Diversity i the Health Care Workforce.

14 Itroductio (Cot d) studets ad scietists, ad build awareess ad support for diversity i the scietific commuity ad the public at large. O their ow, may professioal associatios ad scietific societies have well-established, successful itervetios to improve the recruitmet ad retetio of uderrepreseted miorities at various career stages. Nevertheless, whe workig together they may be eve more successful, as they should have ew opportuities to lear from oe aother, craft commo messages, ad develop best practices ad effective approaches, which ca be shared with policymakers, higher educatio istitutios, federal agecies, ad foudatios. Despite the advatages of collaboratio, there have bee too few istaces i which professioal associatios ad scietific societies have worked together to ehace diversity i sciece. I a effort to chage this, the Cosortium for Social Sciece Associatios (COSSA) idetified a group of leadig oprofit professioal associatios ad scietific societies with experiece i creatig ad maagig diversity programs ad avigatig costatly evolvig fudig mechaisms ad legal climate for diversity iitiatives. Nie of these orgaizatios formed a plaig committee to gather more iformatio from federal ad associatio stakeholders o these issues ad to pla for the survey project ad a retreat, called Ehacig Diversity i Sciece. The plaig orgaizatios icluded: America Associatio for the Advacemet of Sciece s Ceter for Careers i Sciece ad Techology (AAAS) America Educatioal Research Associatio (AERA) America Psychological Associatio (APA) America Sociological Associatio (ASA) Associatio of America Medical Colleges (AAMC) Cosortium of Social Sciece Associatios (COSSA) Federatio of America Societies for Experimetal Biology (FASEB) Istitute for the Advacemet of Social Work Research (IASWR) Society for Research i Child Developmet (SRCD) The group s first meetig was i July At that meetig, participats made three importat commitmets: 1. Address the challeges of buildig, maagig, ad sustaiig diversity iitiatives i collaboratio. 2. Coduct a survey of scietific ad professioal orgaizatios to explore the ature of scietific workforce developmet efforts, specifically icludig those to ehace diversity i sciece. The group developed a survey to lear about existig traiig programs supported by professioal associatios ad scietific societies. Specific iformatio collected about these programs icluded goals, evaluatios, ad how may resources were dedicated to researcher traiig ad workforce developmet. I November 2007, the survey was set by to approximately 250 orgaizatios located across the Uited States. See Appedix E for the survey results. 3. Pla a leadership retreat where iformatio, experieces, ad ideas could be shared ad future actio steps could be idetified. Motivated by the covictio that there was a critical eed to covee the seior leaders (presidets ad executive directors) of professioal associatios ad scietific societies to examie ways to ehace diversity through the developmet of specific actio plas, the plaig committee orgaized a oe-day leadership retreat o Ehacig Diversity i Sciece. The goal of this retreat was to spaw collaboratio amog associatios, societies, federal agecies, ad private foudatios that has bee heretofore lackig but will be essetial to ehacig recruitmet ad retetio of uderrepreseted miorities i sciece. With survey data i had, the retreat was desiged to dissemiate what we leared about the programs ad their efficacy, ad to explore what associatios ad societies ca do to further the traiig of future scietists. 6 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

15 The rage of retreat ivitees was iteded to esure represetatio from the full spectrum of physical, atural, ad social, ad behavioral scieces, icludig several cliical research fields. The plaig culmiated i a day-log retreat held at the Hamilto Crowe Plaza i Washigto, DC, o Thursday, February 28, The retreat attracted 98 leaders from 37 associatios, orgaizatios, ad societies, as well as represetatives of private foudatios ad federal agecies (see Appedix A for a complete list of participats). Ehacig Diversity i Sciece 7

16 Retreat Summary Ehacig Diversity i Sciece brought together leaders from professioal associatios ad scietific societies, uiversities, federal agecies, ad private foudatios to explore issues related to broadeig participatio i the sciece ad egieerig workforce ad to develop a set of actioable recommedatios that the orgaizatios could implemet idividually ad i cocert. Speakers were selected to preset ideas, catalyze thikig, ad set the cotext for the breakout group discussios. The speakers were asked to describe persoal experieces as well as preset strategic perspectives for workig with govermet, foudatios, ad uiversities. The plaig committee ecouraged commuicatio ad iformatio sharig amog participats through five cocurret breakout sessios i the morig ad afteroo by craftig discussio prompts ad assigig iformed moderators to focus participatio toward clear actio steps. (See retreat ageda i Appedix B.) Summary of Keyote ad Pael Discussios The followig sectio summarizes the topics covered by keyote presetatios ad pael sessios, which provided a framework for the meetig. These sessios addressed the followig questios: Why is ehacig diversity i sciece ad egieerig importat? What are the obstacles to ehacig diversity i sciece? What are orgaizatios doig to ehace diversity i sciece? Why Is Ehacig Diversity i Sciece ad Egieerig Importat? As other coutries expad their sciece ad egieerig eterprises, scholars ad policy makers questio whether the Uited States has the workforce capacity to maitai its competitive edge i these areas. The Uited States has historically met labor force demads by retraiig workers from other fields, relyig o immigratio, out-sourcig, or off-shorig the work, oted retreat speaker Shirley M. Malcom, head of Educatio There is a power to leadership of the professioal societies that is absolutely udeiable. Retreat Speaker Shirley M. Malcom ad Huma resources at the America Associatio for the Advacemet of Sciece. Now, as other coutries recogize the value of ivestig i sciece, techology, ad educatio, they are begiig to adopt the U.S. strategy. As a result, the Uited States may ot be able to cotiue to rely o immigratio to satisfy the icreasig demad for scietists ad egieers. The good ews, accordig to Malcom, is that we have o shortage [of scietists ad egieers] i the U.S... ad accordig to ecoomists, we probably wo t. She oted, however, that there is a shortage of miority scietists ad egieers. The Uited States has the talet, paelists agreed, to meet the demads of the 21st cetury workplace. NIH Deputy Director Rayard S. Kigto reiforced this poit whe he cited U.S. cesus data showig that 40 percet of the 18-year-olds couted i the 2000 cesus were Africa America, Hispaic, or Asia America. This umber is expected to be more tha 50 percet by With a majority of the populatio expected to come from uderrepreseted groups, we have a demographic imperative to esure that these idividuals are represeted i the scietific ad egieerig workforce. It s very importat... that we do t waste ay talet we might have, agreed COSSA s executive director, Howard J. Silver. Although the demographic imperative is a strog motivator of efforts to broade participatio i sciece ad egieerig, Malcom ecouraged participats to cosider the value of diversity itself, askig: What do we gai by havig diverse teams? What do these diverse perspectives allow us to do ad be ad to accomplish? At the Natioal Sciece Foudatio (NSF), passio for ehacig diversity stems from the belief that the scietific ad egieerig eterprise is stregtheed by the itellectual diversity of thought, as well as the diversity ad the compositio of the participats, ad by 8 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

17 the belief that excellece exists everywhere, said NSF Deputy Assistat Director for Educatio ad Huma Resources, Wada E. Ward. Duke Uiversity scietist Erich D. Jarvis drew o examples from his ow life ad the experieces of his studets to emphasize that racial, ethic, ad cultural backgrouds ifluece perspectives o sciece. We have to covice people that the reaso to have diversity is that it actually breeds success, said Jarvis. Demostratig the value diversity adds to sciece ad educatio is especially importat i the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court s recet affirmative actio decisios. Retreat speaker Arthur L. Colema, a attorey ad former Deputy Assistat Secretary for Civil Rights i the Departmet of Educatio, said istitutios caot rely solely o social justice argumets or o the perceived eed for compositioal diversity to justify diversity-focused programs ad policies. Rather, they must demostrate that there are research-based educatioal beefits associated with diversity i the classroom ad i the social settig o a uiversity campus. The Court s ruligs i the Uiversity of Michiga cases held that, the educatioal beefits of diversity were compellig, Colema oted. This has opeed opportuities for broadeig participatio at colleges ad uiversities. The challege, Colema said, is to create a authetically missio-aliged, itegrated, ad holistic system of policy developmet by which istitutios ca determie the importace of ehacig educatioal access ad the meas to achieve it. Colema strogly emphasized the eed for leadership ad the ivestmet of resources, time, ad effort that comes with it ecessary to make diversity a priority. Istitutioal commitmet to diversity is a essetial elemet of the educatioal programs that successfully move miority studets ito scietific careers, agreed Freema A. Hrabowski, III, Presidet of the Uiversity of Marylad, Baltimore Couty (UMBC). Citig successes such as his uiversity s Meyerhoff Scholars Program, he described a campus i which diversity efforts are a cetral cocer to leadership ad faculty alike. The result has bee a thoughtful ad rigorous educatio for all studets ad strikig success i icreasig the umber of miority studets who have goe o to complete doctoral degrees i the scieces. Adrés E. Jiméez, a admiistrator i the Divisio of Academic Affairs at the Uiversity of Califoria, echoed Hrabowski s commets whe he said that without seior faculty ad admiistrators represetig diversity ad brigig equity ad iclusio ito our istitutios, we caot achieve the goals that we set forth i this coversatio today. Sigularly amog the challeges colleges, uiversities ad professioal schools face today is leadership o this issue. Retreat Speaker Arthur L. Colema What Are the Obstacles to Ehacig Diversity i Sciece? Careers are ofte described as followig a pipelie i which idividuals progress liearly from K 12 to professioal positios. Several speakers oted, however, that career pathways i the scieces are either liear or static. Studets may acquire a iterest i sciece at may poits i their educatio, ad while some go o to become uiversity ad college faculty, others establish careers i idustry, cliical practice, ad govermet ad policy, amog other areas. These are all successful outcomes, said Jeremy M. Berg, Director of the Natioal Istitute of Geeral Medical Scieces (NIGMS) at NIH. There is a particular eed, however, to esure that we have a sufficiet ad adequately diverse pool of academic researchers. Paelists ackowledged that pursuig a career i sciece requires studets to avigate a series of educatioal ad career trasitios. Every time you move from oe level to the ext... you lose people stated Malcom. Attritio of miority studets may be especially great because these groups have ot had a strog attachmet to sciece ad egieerig fields. This poit was uderscored by Hrabowski, who addressed specific challeges to ecouragig miority studets to pursue ad complete advaced traiig i Ehacig Diversity i Sciece 9

18 Retreat Summary (Cot d) Erich D. Jarvis Erich Jarvis is associate professor of eurobiology at Duke Uiversity Medical Ceter where he has recetly bee amed a Howard Hughes Medical Istitute (HHMI) ivestigator. He studies the eurobiology of vocal commuicatio i parrots, hummigbirds, sogbirds ad humas. His overall goal is to see whether similarities i brai structures across these groups reveal costraits o the evolutio of brai structures ecessary for vocal learig. Jarvis did ot immediately set his sights o becomig a scietist. His first love was dace. Raised i New York City, he atteded the High School of the Performig Arts to study ballet, ad later moder dace. He wo scholarships to the Geoffrey Ballet School i New York, as well as the Alvi Ailey Dace School. There was a lot of psychological support i my family to challege Erich D. Jarvis yourself, do somethig that has a positive impact o the world, ad be ambitious at it if eed be. As he eared high school graduatio, he made the decisio to trasitio from a career as a professioal dacer to a scietist, believig that he would have a greater impact as a scietist. Jarvis tured dow the Alvi Ailey scholarship ad atteded Huter College istead where he majored i biology ad math. But dace was ever far behid. I discovered that the disciplie I leared as a dacer, the kid of traiig ad the hard work, ad the practice ad practice util you get it right agai because you ca fail a lot of times was actually very useful, i some ways almost essetial for becomig a scietist. Durig his udergraduate years at Huter, ad later at Rockefeller Uiversity where he eared i a PhD eurobiology ad aimal behavior, Jarvis was supported by a Miority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Fellowship from the Natioal Istitute of Geeral Medical Scieces. But he struggled with the idea that his ethicity had become a advatage. May of his o-white peers looked dow o the MARC Fellowship, believig that he was gettig a free ride, ad Jarvis fought hard ot to iteralize these egative opiios. Over time, he came to appreciate the value of a MARC Fellowship as well as its ecessity. We basically have to covice people that the reaso to have diversity is that it actually breeds success. Not because you re tryig to be fair, ot because you re forcig somebody to, although those thigs might work to a certai degree, but because it breeds success. What we eed ow is more people to lead by example tha by beig activists; we eed the activists, but there is a dearth of people leadig by example, ad that s what I decided to try to do. I additio to beig amed a HHMI Ivestigator, Jarvis is the recipiet of oe of the most prized awards give by the Natioal Istitutes of Health (NIH Pioeers Award), ad oe of the highest give by the Natioal Sciece Foudatio (Ala T. Waterma Award). 10 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

19 sciece, especially at the doctorate level. He has had to thik hard about how to get miority studets at his ow istitutio to value doctoral educatio ad to get them excited about becomig PhDs, ad i some cases, MD-PhDs. Recruitig ad retaiig eve those studets with a strog iterest i sciece ca be difficult. Miority studets may be faced with iadequate preparatio i foudatioal math ad sciece courses, fiacial costraits that compel them to take jobs that detract from their studies, ad iteded or uiteded discrimiatio. Malcom stated that some people still view uderrepreseted miorities as the Achilles heel, rather tha the ace i the hole i terms of their potetial to cotribute to sciece ad egieerig. Troublig disparities betwee miority scietists ad others do ot ed eve whe scietists move ito the raks of faculty ad idepedet researchers, Kigto oted. Africa America scietists costituted oly percet of pricipal ivestigators o ivestigatoriitiated NIH grats betwee 2000 ad Figures for Hispaics are somewhat better, he stated, but o strog treds i a upward directio exist for either group. There are also racial ad ethic differeces i success rates for NIH grats, said Kigto. The success rate for Africa America scietists i 2006 was 12.6 percet, whereas their white ad Hispaic couterparts received grats at a rate of 21.7 percet ad 19.2 percet, respectively. It is ot uderstood, however, what the uderlyig causes are for those differeces. Because today s scietists have a sigificat role to play both i traiig ad i servig as role models to studets ad youg professioals, the dearth of miorities i the field may make it difficult to recruit ad retai people from uderrepreseted groups i the future. What Are Orgaizatios Doig to Ehace Diversity i Sciece? Broadeig participatio i sciece ad egieerig has log bee framed i terms of tryig to fix the studets istead of tryig to fix the system, observed Malcom. There is a eed, however, for systemic chage, ad there are myriad opportuities to implemet this chage. Malcom poited to the importace of improvig the quality of udergraduate coursework ad research experieces, providig studets with opportuities for metorig, etworkig, ad leadership traiig. She also said it is importat to develop resources that highlight the variety of career optios i the scieces. Professioal associatios ad scietific societies have a role to play i all of these efforts, she said, icludig recogizig ad celebratig champios of diversity ad affectig ad iformig policies that eable the commuity to move forward o these issues. A survey of professioal associatios ad scietific societies coducted by the retreat s plaig committee foud that these groups are ideed egaged i efforts to improve diversity i sciece. Nearly half of the 93 societies respodig to the survey reported that they sposor formal programs dedicated to miority traiig ad career developmet, reported Mary A McCabe, Director of the Office for Policy ad Commuicatios at the Society for Research i Child Developmet. These programs ted to focus o udergraduate ad graduate studets, but programs also exist for those at the K 12, postdoctoral, ad early career stages. (See Appedix E for results of the Ehacig Diversity i Sciece survey.) A wide variety of iitiatives are uderway i academe, as well. Programs ca work, said Joa Y. Reede of Harvard Medical School, who heads a office ivolved i more tha 20 diversity-related iitiatives, ragig from K 12 to faculty developmet (see sidebar o page 12). I the 18 years that Harvard s miority faculty program has existed, the umber of uderrepreseted miority faculty members has rise from 185 to 467. Harvard s biomedical sciece careers program, a separate oprofit orgaizatio established by Harvard Medical School, the New Eglad Board of Higher Educatio, ad the Massachusetts Medical Society, has served more tha 6,000 studets ad a rage of idustries ad educatioal istitutios. Workig together, Reede says, they have bee able to desig programs that address studets awareess of career optios, eablig them to uderstad that there are multiple trajectories i sciece ad multiple ways to eter ad exit the system.

UMBC also holds a NSF ADVANCE grat through which they have bee workig to icrease the represetatio of wome amog faculty. These efforts have had a impact: UMBC doubled the umber of teure-track ad teured wome i these fields over the course of about seve years. UMBC s success is partly the result of its sharp focus o the orgaizatioal eviromet, said Hrabowski. We work very hard to pipoit, to highlight ad reflect o the stregths of the campus. This icludes assessig the istitutio s capabilities, esurig that strategies are liked to the people resposible for implemetig them, sychroizig activities across idividuals ad disciplies, ad likig rewards to outcomes. O the groud level, UMBC makes a strog effort to prepare studets for the rigors of scietific traiig by providig them with a strog foudatio i math ad sciece. For Harvard Medical School Miority Faculty Developmet Program I May of 1990, the Harvard Medical School Faculty Coucil uaimously approved the creatio of the Miority Faculty Developmet Program (MFDP). MFDP is desiged to support the career developmet of juior faculty ad to address crucial pipelie issues. This icludes: Icreasig the pool of miority studets iterested i careers i sciece ad medicie; Promotig medical studets, graduate studets, ad fellows to develop the eeded skills for success i the academic area; ad Advacig the career developmet of juior faculty. MFDP is a part of the Harvard Medical School Office for Diversity ad Commuity Partership. The Office for Diversity ad Commuity Partership was created to promote icreased recruitmet, retetio ad advacemet of uderrepreseted miority faculty at Harvard Medical School ad to oversee all diversity activities ivolvig Harvard Medical School faculty, traiees, studets ad staff. DCP seeks to preserve the Harvard traditio of excellece i medicie ad sciece by amplifyig the search for, ad support of, well-traied faculty, while creatig a cadré of medical professioals reflectig the larger commuity that we serve. I additio, the Office coordiates the School s may ad varied iteractios with commuity groups ad orgaizatios.

21 istace, studets who receive mediocre grades i math ad sciece courses are urged to repeat them so that they achieve mastery before advacig. UMBC is committed to evaluatig the success of its efforts ad applyig the lessos leared to improvig the educatio ad experiece of all its studets ad faculty. Iitiatives aimed at broadeig participatio operate at the federal level, as well. Accordig to Ward, NSF s portfolio icludes programs that address idividual ad istitutioal-level factors i the successful productio of scietists, techologists, egieers, ad mathematicias. Istitutioal programmatic approaches iclude NSF s premier Math ad Sciece Partership (MSP) program egages higher educatio faculty i the improvemet of K 12 teachig. Their flagship udergraduate program, the Louis Stokes Alliaces for Miority Participatio (LSAMP), has prove to be quite successful, said Ward. A aalysis of the program shows that LSAMP studets were more likely to pursue ad to complete a graduate degree tha majority or miority studets who did ot participate i the program. At the graduate level, NSF sposors the Alliaces for Graduate Educatio to the Professoriate (AGEP) program, i which early half of the atio s 1,450 uderrepreseted miority PhDs have participated. Ward also described ewer approaches at NSF to brig together programs to icrease syergy ad collaboratio across those fuded activities ad withi istitutios of higher educatio. The Iovatio through Istitutioal Itegratio (I-3) activity is oe such effort ad focuses o broadeig participatio, critical juctures, itegratio of research ad educatio, a globally egaged workforce, ad research ad evaluatio. She the described NSF support for various professioal associatios that are If you show me a departmet that cares deeply about studets, I ll show you oe that s much more easily able to help studets of color or wome. So much of what we ve doe that s helped us with miorities ow helps us with studets i geeral, i chemistry discovery lab for all studets, or i the practices we have for first-year studets i sciece i geeral. Retreat Keyote Speaker Freema A. Hrabowski, III leadig broadeig participatio efforts i STEM educatio ad suggested how such efforts might also operate i a more itegrative ad collaborative fashio. Programs at NIH ted to be focused at the udergraduate, graduate, ad early career level, said Berg of NIGMS. There is a strog sese at NIH that by diversifyig the uiversity ad college faculty, there s a real potetial for havig a catalytic effect i terms of makig sciece careers more attractive to groups that have traditioally bee uderrepreseted, he said. NIGMS iitiatives iclude: Bridges to the Future, which helps studets trasitio from two-year to four-year colleges ad from master s to doctoral degree programs; udergraduate ad graduate studet developmet programs: Research Iitiative for Scietific Ehacemet (RISE), Iitiative for Maximizig Studet Diversity (IMSD); Miority Access to Research Careers (MARC), ad Udergraduate Studet Traiig i Academic Research (U-STAR); ad postdoctoral programs, icludig the Istitutioal Research ad Academic Career Developmet Award (IRACDA). I additio, NIH promotes the participatio of uderrepreseted miorities i sciece through its istitutioal Natioal Research Service Award (T32) program. Although T32 is ot directed specifically toward uderrepreseted studets, it madates the iclusio of a miority diversity recruitmet pla. 1 Private fuders are also egaged i efforts to improve the recruitmet ad retetio of miority scietists. The Alfred P. Sloa Foudatio lauched a iitiative to create ceters aroud the coutry that brig together large umbers of Native America/America Idia masters ad doctoral studets.

22 Retreat Summary (Cot d) PhD Program, which aims to icrease by 100 per year the umber of miority studets earig PhDs i mathematics, atural sciece, ad egieerig. The program curretly serves 81 faculty members o 43 campuses ad provides faculty members who have a record of successfully recruitig, metorig, ad graduatig miority PhD studets with the resources to icrease the umber of miority studets. The package icludes scholarship moey provided directly to those studets ad a small sum to istitutios to aid i recruitmet. The Sloa Foudatio holds participatig faculty accoutable for both the umber ad the success of their studets. To remai i the program, they must succeed i both respects, Greewood explaied. A recurrig theme i the discussio of recruitmet ad retetio programs was the lack of reliable, empirical data o program outcomes ad o workforce traiig ad developmet. Participats saw these data as vital for uderstadig ad improvig diversity programs ad for buildig a legal basis to show that they are ecessary ad effective. It is importat to have a evidece base to provide clarity to what programs are supposed to [do] ad what they have accomplished ad why they re eeded, said Berg. I her remarks, Wada Ward commeded the assembled orgaizatios for comig together to see how to move forward i the productio of uderrepreseted miorities i the STEM fields. Much more remais to be doe, however, ad speakers agreed that professioal associatios ad scietific societies ca have a impact. You ca reset the value structure. You ca help to legitimize thigs that would otherwise be see as tagetial, said Malcom. There is a power to leadership of the professioal societies that is absolutely udeiable. Uiversity of Marylad, Baltimore Couty The Meyerhoff Scholarship Program Succeedig Together Most programs directed to miority studets look at remediatio ad deficits oly, o gettig studets to operate at a miimum level of academic achievemet, says UMBC Presidet Freema Hrabowski. The Meyerhoff Program offers the atio a differet emphasis, oe that focuses o highly able Africa- America studets who aspire to become leadig research scietists ad egieers. That fudametal shift has captured the attetio of may seekig ew perspectives o advacig achievemet. Scores of represetatives from federal agecies, campuses ad corporatios across the coutry have all asked Hrabowski the questio, What are you puttig i the water? They visit UMBC s campus to fid out for themselves. The College Board s Natioal Task Force o Miority High Achievemet praised the Meyerhoff Program as a example that could provide broader educatioal lessos. If we ca reach these studets, the we ca lear somethig about how to help all miority studets, explais task force director L. Scott Miller. The Meyerhoff Program s success is built o the premise that, amog like-mided studets who work closely together, positive eergy is cotagious. By assemblig such a high cocetratio of high-achievig miority studets i a tightly kit learig commuity, studets cotiually ispire oe aother to do more ad better. Ultimately, the program helps all studets lear how to work together ad beefit from each others experieces. Joel Oppeheim, seior associate dea for graduate studets at NYU s School of Medicie, is oe of the program s biggest admirers. I additio to producig excellet studets, the Meyerhoff Program turs out scholars who have a sese of themselves, of social resposibility, ad of ethics, ad who cotiually challege themselves to do more. The program imbues it. I ve ever see the ability to istill this kid of leadership ad determiatio aywhere else. Source: UMBC ( 14 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

23 Breakout Sessios Summary While the pael ad keyote presetatios provided the overall framework for the meetig, breakout sessios examied issues i detail. I these sessios, participats cosidered challeges i the cotext of the policy ad fudig ladscapes, as well opportuities for collaboratio amog professioal associatios, fudig agecies, ad scietific traiig, ad research istitutios. I additio, each of the breakout groups developed recommedatios to address the challeges idetified i the respective discussios. Subjects covered i the breakout sessios iclude: Recruitig ad retaiig uderrepreseted miorities Metorig uderrepreseted miorities Evaluatig diversity programs Buildig public support for a diverse scietific workforce Recruitig ad Retaiig Uderrepreseted Miorities Recogizig that scietists face distict challeges at differet phases of their careers, the Ehacig Diversity i Sciece plaig committee established two breakout groups to address the retetio of uderrepreseted miorities i sciece. The first focused o retetio of studets, postdoctoral scholars, ad early career scietists; the secod addressed retetio of scietists i early-to-late career phases. Both groups examied the factors that cotribute to the attritio of miority scietists, as well as the challeges ad costraits that associatios face i developig ad the sustaiig career support ad trasitio programs for these groups. The poits listed below reflect the combied commets of both groups: Career progressio ivolves a series of trasitio ad decisio poits as scietists move through educatioal stages, istitutios, ad career roles. There is a lack of data o the factors that ifluece the recruitmet ito ad retetio through each of these trasitio ad decisio poits. Likewise, we kow little about the effectiveess of programs aimed at supportig the educatio ad career developmet of uderrepreseted scholars ad scietists. A shortage of peers, metors, role models, ad academic ad social support to aid educatioal ad career trasitios may cotribute to the attritio of miorities from sciece. The academic preparatio that miority studets receive, particularly at the early stages of their educatio, may ot match or support their aspiratios for a research career. We start by fidig faculty with a record of success with uderrepreseted miority studets or faculty i whom, for other reasos, we come to have cofidece that they ca successfully recruit, metor, ad graduate miority studets with PhDs. That is, we look for champios, faculty champios, of miority studets. That s the word I use: faculty champios. Retreat Speaker Ted Greewood Studets ad faculty ted to be poorly iformed about the full array of career optios available to oe with scietific traiig. As a result, may may leave sciece because they have lost iterest i pursuig a traditioal academic research career. Miority faculty members are ofte asked to take o more service activities (e.g., committee service, metorig) tha other faculty members. These activities icrease their total workload ad may dimiish their research productivity. As a result, miority faculty may be both overburdeed ad pealized i teure ad promotio decisios. Fiacial cosideratios, icludig loa debt, ofte costrai the educatioal ad career choices that aspirig scietists make. These pressures are ofte more severe for idividuals with modest fiacial resources, icludig may studets from uderrepreseted groups. As a result, these idividuals may choose ot to pursue careers i sciece, optig for more lucrative career paths istead. Professioal associatio ad scietific society staff Ehacig Diversity i Sciece 15

24 Retreat Summary (Cot d) have oly limited cotact with idividual studets ad scietists, makig it a challege to provide uaced ad sustaied support to their members. Competig priorities for fiacial resources ad staff time prevet some associatios from fully meetig the educatioal, career, ad professioal developmet eeds of their members. Recommedatios Professioal associatios ad scietific societies should make recruitmet ad retetio of uderrepreseted miority scietists a goal of their orgaizatios. These orgaizatios should work with their membership, academic istitutios, ad fudig agecies to moitor impact of programs aimed at broadeig participatio i sciece ad to develop ad sustai effective, ew iitiatives. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Icorporate diversity goals ito their strategic plas. Orgaizatios should espouse iclusio priciples i their policies, strategies, program desigs, ad leadership. Work to improve the collectio ad evaluatio of empirical data o uderrepreseted miorities, as well as research o program outcomes. Likewise, they should work with their members to emphasize the importace of good data collectio ad evaluatio at their home istitutios. Idetify, highlight, ad reward model programs ad best practices for ehacig diversity. Commuicate with uiversities about the status of uderrepreseted miorities i sciece to raise awareess ad demostrate commitmet ad leadership i settig expectatios ad orms for behavior. Provide tools, resources, ad icetives to improve member metorig ad provide support to uderrepreseted miorities durig trasitio periods whe there may be gaps i metorig. Provide or idetify fiacial support for professioal developmet workshops. Advocate for policies ad fudig to support diversity iitiatives. Metorig Uderrepreseted Miorities Scietific ad professioal associatios, public ad private fudig orgaizatios, ad uiversities have developed a variety of programs ad resources to provide miority studets ad faculty with access to effective metorig. Participats i the breakout group addressig this subject idetified the types of metorig programs offered by associatios ad cosidered whether best practices have emerged from these programs. They were also asked to discuss challeges to improvig metorig ad to cosider the obstacles to developig effective metorig programs at the associatio level. The discussio yielded the followig observatios: May faculty do ot kow how to provide, ad studets do ot kow how to seek, effective metorig. Ofte, both parties lack iformatio about the goals ad process of a metorig relatioship ad the resposibilities metors ad metees have to each other. Miority studets may be less iclied to seek out metorig compared to other studets, because seekig metorig may suggest that they are less prepared for a sciece career tha studets who do ot seek metorig. Miority studets may desire metors of their ow backgroud, but qualified miority metors are limited. Those idividuals who are available ofte become overloaded with demads to metor, to serve o campus ad atioal committees, ad o professioal ad scietific boards. Faculty perceive that their colleagues ad istitutios do ot support effective metorig by recogizig the time ad resources required or by offerig icetives ad rewards for effective metorig. At may istitutios, metorig does ot cotribute to faculty career advacemet sice teure, promotio, ad fudig all geerally deped o research, publicatio, ad grat success ad ot o metorig. Competig fudig priorities make it difficult for professioal ad scietific associatios to develop ad sustai metorig programs. 16 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

25 Recommedatios Metorig uderrepreseted miorities should be itegral to ay iitiative or program desiged to ehace diversity i the scieces. Orgaizatios should emphasize the importace of metorig ad promote ad facilitate metorig of studets ad juior scietists by their seior colleagues. Special metorig efforts should be made for miority scholars. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Collaborate to emphasize the importace of metorig throughout its member programs ad services, ad demostrate the importace of metorig to their field ad their sciece. This could lead to ew models for other istitutios. Reward faculty for time spet o metorig ad ecourage the provisio of grats that offer protected time for metorig activities. Demostrate the importace of metorig by showig the successes of metored miority scietists ad idetify a pool of metors ad metees who ca promote the value of metorig. Build a ifrastructure to support log-term metorig relatioships ad develop a mechaism to evaluate the sustaiability of these relatioships. Collaborate to develop resources ad programs to help metors ad metees uderstad goals ad expectatios. Use professioal ewsletters to promote these resources. Ivite studets to aual meetigs for scietific ad oscietific programmig ad etworkig opportuities. Collaborate to develop defiitios of program success ad program evaluatio metrics ad to collect empirical data o program outcomes. Evaluatig Diversity Programs Efforts to assess the effectiveess of programs that strive to improve the participatio of uderrepreseted miorities i sciece are ofte hampered by a lack of agreemet o what the goal of diversity programs should be ad a lack of data o program outcomes. To address these issues, breakout sessio participats were asked to idetify distict ad shared goals amog associatio diversity programs, cosider the outcomes that eed to be measured to assess progress toward these goals, ad discuss how associatios are measurig these outcomes. Participats were also asked to idetify challeges to collectig ad usig outcomes data. The followig themes emerged: Reliable data o miority idividuals, at various career stages, ca be difficult to obtai, difficult to share, ad icosistetly recorded ad stored. It is difficult to assess the efficacy of programs aimed at ehacig miority participatio i sciece whe moitorig ad evaluatio are udervalued, uder fuded, ad uder reported. The goals ad iteded outcomes of diversity programs, ad their fudig sources, are ot always clearly articulated ad chage over time. This makes it difficult to evaluate the success of these programs as the yardstick ca be costatly shiftig. Methods for evaluatig the success of diversity programs are frequetly iadequate, as evaluatio criteria are ofte imprecise, difficult to measure, or altogether lackig. Comparig program outcomes across orgaizatios is complicated, eve whe programs share commo goals. Orgaizatios may use differet uits of measuremet ad employ differet data collectio strategies based o their iterests ad capabilities. The collectio of data o miority populatios is becomig icreasigly difficult as race ad ethicity categories chage ad icreasig umbers of people choose ot to provide race ad ethicity iformatio. I additio, there are cocers about cofidetiality ad privacy disclosure such that some orgaizatios may ot be able to collect or share their data. Success i sciece has typically bee defied by a idividual s ability to obtai a academic research positio ad federal research grats. There ca be, however, a wider rage of successful outcomes. I evaluatig the success of diversity efforts, it is vital to broade the rage of what are cosidered to be successful ad desirable outcomes. Ehacig Diversity i Sciece 17

26 Retreat Summary (Cot d) Desig of ad fudig for program assessmet ad evaluatio has, for too log, bee a afterthought. Maitaiig cotact with program participats, especially over loger time periods, is ot always feasible. Recommedatios Professioal associatios ad scietific societies should work together to develop a comprehesive data collectio ad evaluatio system to moitor the success of diversity programs. This iformatio should be collected ad shared across orgaizatios ad with the public to idetify treds, best practices, ad areas that eed improvemet to ehace diversity. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Work together to collect ad critically review research ad best practices o diversity programs that ca be evaluated ad geeralized across disciplies. These data could be used to geerate a typology of programs accordig to goals ad career stage. This iformatio should be cotiually updated ad made publicly available by various meas (e.g., Iteret, joural articles, critical reviews.) Show members the value of providig demographic data about themselves so as to icrease the provisio of this iformatio. Work with federal agecies to better iform datacollectio strategies ad to itegrate datasets, whe possible. Advocate for ehacig federal logitudial data collectio strategies for uderrepreseted miority issues, as well as for icludig fiacial support for program evaluatio. Collaborate with fudig agecies ad uiversity departmets to collect data o miority scietists ad diversity programs. Ideally, orgaizatios will work with differet departmets at the same istitutio to achieve critical mass across disciplies ad to icrease awareess of what is beig doe o the issue ad what has prove successful. Buildig Public Support for a Diverse Scietific Workforce Programs aimed at icreasig the participatio of miorities i higher educatio have come uder icreasig public, legislative, ad legal scrutiy i the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court s ruligs o the Uiversity of Michiga s diversity practices. I view of these decisios, this breakout group was asked to discuss challeges related to icreasig support for miority programs amog the public, policy makers, ad fudig agecies. The followig themes emerged from this discussio: Professioal associatios, scietific societies, uiversities, ad may other orgaizatios have bee usuccessful i demostratig the importace of diversity i educatioal ad scietific settigs. Ehacig diversity has bee promoted as a way to correct racial imbalaces (i.e., affirmative actio) rather tha as a educatioal, societal, ad ecoomic beefit. The complexity ad ufamiliarity of these argumets is a major obstacle to buildig public support for diversity programs. Four decades of ivestmet i diversity programs have led some to believe that a great deal of progress has bee made ad that special efforts to ehace diversity are o loger ecessary. This perceptio erodes support for diversity programs, both i the preset ad for the future. A atioal cosesus o the importace of educatioal diversity ad the merits of a diverse scietific eterprise does ot exist this is reflected i our professioal associatios ad scietific societies. Recogizig the lack of a iteral cosesus o the ature ad importace of diversity, may leaders are hesitat to make broadeig participatio a orgaizatioal priority. A lack of diversity withi associatio ad society leadership, staff, ad membership ofte limits their ability to promote diversity more broadly. Recommedatios Professioal associatios ad scietific societies should work together to commuicate the importace of broadeig participatio i sciece to their members, the public, ad policy makers. Specifically, professioal associatios ad scietific societies should: Develop a joit public statemet that simply ad coheretly articulates commo goals with regard 18 Ehacig Diversity i Sciece

27 to diversity ad ecourages policy developmet to affirm those goals. Gather data to iform policy decisios ad work together to idetify best practices ad commo challeges to ehacig diversity i sciece. This may ivolve examiig the social sciece research o the beefits of diversity, traslatig research fidigs ito actio steps, ad recogizig ad supportig good istitutioal practices. Promote the value of ehacig diversity to their members ad provide them with the impetus, foudatio, ad tools to take actio o this issue. Develop a iformal etwork of idividuals that ca commuicate about diversity i sciece to the leadership ad membership of other orgaizatios. Coclusios The cosesus that emerged from the retreat is that ehacig the diversity of the scietific workforce is a shared aspiratio. This caot be accomplished, however, through a sigle or simple step divorced from istitutios ad orgaizatios overall work ad missios. There will be success whe the commitmet is ifused i all aspects of a orgaizatio ad at all levels of leadership. Most importatly, diversity must be uderstood as ivolvig ot merely a certai umber of studets, faculty members or workers, but as a essetial elemet of sciece ad of growig a field or disciplie. This commitmet must be demostrated by specific actios by orgaizatios, workig both idividually ad i cocert. Usig their ifluece, resources, ad expertise, America s professioal associatios ad scietific societies ca move the issue forward o may frots. Next Steps The plaig group recogizes that a collective leadership aroud ehacig diversity i the scieces is urgetly eeded. The retreat plaig group therefore formed the Collaborative for Ehacig Diversity i the Scieces (CEDS) group to address some of the recommedatios that resulted from this retreat. Oe challege that emerged early o is the eed to develop a commo public statemet that articulates commo goals with regard to diversity ad ecourages policy developmet to affirm those goals. As Arthur Colema oted durig the retreat, we must cotiue to commuicate simple ad coheret messages to the scietific commuity ad the public. With this goal i mid, CEDS will cotiue its efforts to establish ad promote a clearighouse of iformatio about what associatios ad societies are already doig to ehace diversity i the scieces. It will cotiually reach out to these orgaizatios to discuss further collaboratios. Ehacig Diversity i Sciece 19

55 Appedix E Ehacig Diversity i Sciece Survey of Professioal Associatios ad Scietific Societies A small group of cocered professioal associatios ad scietific societies 1 coveed to explore opportuities for collaboratio i their efforts to ehace diversity i sciece. They sought empirical data o a fudametal questio: What are professioal associatios ad scietific societies doig ow? This led to the developmet of a exploratory survey of a broad array of professioal associatios ad scietific societies. This 27-questio electroic survey was set to executive directors of 250 professioal associatios ad scietific societies, represetig all major scietific disciplies. The ivitatio to participate did ot alert the recipiets of the survey to the focus o ehacig diversity, so as to miimize bias i samplig toward those orgaizatios with high iterest i this area. 2 Followig two remider mailigs, 93 of the 250 orgaizatios respoded. 3 Of these respodets, 78 completed the full survey, givig us a fial respose rate of 31 percet. Most of the respodets were dues-based idividual membership orgaizatios (80 percet), ad a smaller umber represeted cosortia of orgaizatios (28 percet) ad/or istitutios (25 percet). The size of orgaizatio membership raged from a low of 3 (a federatio represetig three societies) to a high of 150,000 (a orgaizatio represetig idividual members). The overall goal i the survey was to place the activities ad outcomes of programs desiged for uderrepreseted miorities i the cotext of programs for traiig/career developmet for all scietists i a particular field. Survey questios about a orgaizatio s cocers, programs, ad goals were first posed regardig traiig for all scietists i that field (i.e., ot just uderrepreseted miorities), ad the a subsequet sectio of the survey icluded these same questios focused solely o traiig scietists who are uderrepreseted miorities. This was iteded to miimize the likelihood of a respose set, or the tedecy to respod similarly to the same questio for both groups. This report provides the separate fidigs across these two sets of questios i tadem, icludig graphs that depict resposes about both groups together. We hope, thus, that readers will be able to place the associatios efforts to ehace diversity i the cotext of their geeral programs to build ad ehace their scietific workforce. Give the relatively small size of this sample, the survey results should be viewed as exploratory, suggestig areas for further study. Wheever possible, qualitative iformatio is summarized so as to be geeralizable across discipliary fields. The survey fidigs provide isights about the programs of professioal associatios ad scietific societies that aim to ehace diversity i the scietific workforce ad provide a basis for iitiatig collaboratio. 1 Represetatives from the followig orgaizatios collaborated i the developmet of the survey: America Educatioal Research Associatio (AERA), America Psychological Associatio (APA), America Sociological Associatio (ASA), Associatio of America Medical Colleges (AAMC), Cosortium of Social Sciece Associatios (COSSA), Federatio of America Societies for Experimetal Biology (FASEB), Istitute for the Advacemet of Social Work Research (IASWR), ad the Society for Research i Child Developmet (SRCD). SRCD was the lead associatio for developig ad admiisterig the survey ad aalyzig the data. 2 The message i which a hypertext lik to the survey was embedded follows: A group of professioal associatios ad scietific societies are explorig mutual cocers about buildig the future scietific workforce. Oe importat step i this process is to gather iformatio from a broad array of orgaizatios as to what they are doig ow regardig traiig future scietists. We ask that you please complete the brief survey i the lik below to provide some basic iformatio. Data will be ecrypted i the trasmissio of your survey, ad ay compilatio of fidigs will be i the aggregate. We will share the compiled results of the survey with all the respodets. I additio to this survey, we are also: meetig with federal agecies about programs; trackig meetigs, reports ad recommedatios that focus o this issue; ad seekig to fid creative ways to address this area i the future. 3 A list of the associatios ad societies that respoded to the survey is at the ed of this report.
