学术界的教师和学生人数并不能代表美国人口的多样性。因此,研究机构和资助机构将大量资金和精力投入到招聘和保留项目中,重点是增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族(urm)进入科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的流动。在这里,我们概述了德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心健康生物医学科学研究生院(GSBS)的挑战、干预和评估,这些挑战、干预和评估增加了学生群体的多样性,而这些多样性与平均成绩和研究生入学考试成绩无关。此外,我们还表明,随着时间的推移,这些努力逐步降低了URM学生的流失率,同时消除了最新队列的流失率。此外,大多数从GSBS毕业的URM学生可能会在博士后培训期后继续留在STEM管道中。我们还根据所提供的数据提供具体建议,以识别和消除阻碍STEM管道中代表性不足和服务不足的人进入、参与和融入的障碍。
The faculty and student populations in academia are not representative of the diversity in the U.S. population. Thus, research institutions and funding agencies invest significant funds and effort into recruitment and retention programs that focus on increasing the flow of historically underrepresented minorities (URMs) into the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pipeline. Here, we outline challenges, interventions, and assessments by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) that increased the diversity of the student body independently of grade point averages and Graduate Record Examination scores. Additionally, we show these efforts progressively decreased the attrition rates of URM students over time while eliminating attrition in the latest cohort. Further, the majority of URM students who graduate from the GSBS are likely to remain in the STEM pipeline beyond the postdoctoral training period. We also provide specific recommendations based on the data presented to identify and remove barriers that prevent entry, participation, and inclusion of the underrepresented and underserved in the STEM pipeline.
