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 workforce.
Without actively dismantling policies and practices that
disadvantage people from minoritized groups, STEMM organizations
stand to lose much needed talent and innovation as well as the
ideas that come from having a diverse workforce. A new report from
the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences 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. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1

The number of Black students in science, engineering, and medicine
in the United States has remained disproportionately low over the
past several decades. A number of reasons have been identified as
contributing to these low numbers, including those related to
finances. Financial considerations range from the most immediate -
the ability of students to pay for their education and associated
costs - to more structural concerns, such as inequities that
created and have perpetuated a wealth gap between races and ethnic
groups. On April 19-20, 2021, the Roundtable on Black Men and Black
Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine of the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine organized a
virtual public workshop to examine financial barriers for Black
students in science, engineering, and medicine, explore existing
educational programs to them, and engage stakeholders in
conversations about partnerships and policies that span academia,
industry, and philanthropy. This publication summarizes the
presentation and discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents
