Despite the changing demographics of the nation and a growing
appreciation for diversity and inclusion as drivers of excellence
in science, engineering, and medicine, Black Americans are severely
underrepresented in these fields. Racism and bias are significant
reasons for this disparity, with detrimental implications on
individuals, health care organizations, and the nation as a whole.
The Roundtable on Black Men and Black Women in Science,
Engineering, and Medicine was launched at the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in 2019 to identify key levers,
drivers, and disruptors in government, industry, health care, and
higher education where actions can have the most impact on
increasing the participation of Black men and Black women in
science, medicine, and engineering. On April 16, 2020, the
Roundtable convened a workshop to explore the context for their
work; to surface key issues and questions that the Roundtable
should address in its initial phase; and to reach key stakeholders
and constituents. This proceedings provides a record of the
workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2 Keynote

While the COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating health and economic
impacts in the United States, communities of color, especially
Black communities, have been disproportionately affected. On June
23, 2020, the Roundtable on Black Men and Black Women in Science,
Engineering, and Medicine of the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine convened a virtual workshop to discuss
the landscape of COVID-19, including how systemic racism
contributes to the disproportionate effects related to infection
rates and mortality of this virus and other health conditions.
Presenters highlighted relevant research and creative responses
from many perspectives, including how Black scientists, engineers,
and doctors are contributing to solutions and are ready to do more.
National Academies leaders and members also discussed the role of
the National Academies in addressing the pandemic and underlying
issues of systemic racism that have led to health disparities in
the United States. This publication summarizes the presentation and
discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
