尽管几十年来一直致力于增加女性在科学、工程、技术、数学和医学（stem）领域的代表性的研究、资助和项目，但在许多领域，尤其是在领导岗位上，女性的数量仍然很低或停滞不前，尤其是在有色人种女性中。在这些领域没有不同的声音和观点，科学事业就会限制其创新的潜力，而创新对美国的持续繁荣、健康和福祉至关重要。有证据表明，女性在STEMM中的代表性不足是由广泛的结构、文化和制度模式的偏见、歧视和不平等所驱动的，而这些偏见、歧视和不平等并不影响具有相当能力和训练的男性。
Despite decades of research, funding, and programs dedicated to increasing the representation of women in science, engineering, technology, mathematics and medicine (STEMM), the numbers, particularly in leadership roles have remained low or stagnant in many fields, particularly among women of color. Without diverse voices and perspectives in these fields, the scientific enterprise is limiting its potential for innovation—vital to contributing to the continued prosperity, health, and well-being of the United States. The evidence indicates that underrepresentation of women in STEMM is driven by a wide range of structural, cultural, and institutional patterns of bias, discrimination, and inequity that do not affect men of comparable ability and training.
