This report investigates and evaluates diversity, inclusion, and equity (DEI) among users at Berkeley Laboratory’s Molecular Foundry. The researchers assessed and quantified inclusion among users from Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in the user programs and proposal review boards by compiling demographic data of Foundry users, analyzing trends over time, and testing correlations between user proposal acceptance rates from MSIs and primarily white institutions (PWIs). The results show a mean average of a nine percent difference in user proposal acceptance rates from MSIs and PWIs from 2015 to 2021. In addition, demographic trends over time demonstrate a lack of growth specifically among Black, Latinx, and Native American users. The discrepancy in user proposal acceptance rates from MSIs and the lack of increase among underrepresented minorities highlight the need for formal and strategic outreach programming. The research group recommends that the Foundry develop and implement DEI outreach programming by partnering with diverse institutions, engaging in existing programs, establishing mentoring programs, and creating a more robust visiting faculty program.
