Women of color in STEM are rarely independent subjects of study. As a result, there is relatively little known about how they become interested in science, their systems of support or factors that could make careers in science more attractive to them. This project would synthesize existing research, evaluation and narrative literature concerning factors that facilitate or impede the entry of under-represented minority women into STEM professions. The work would separate effects at the college level, the graduate level, and the professional level. The project will help to illuminate factors that influence initial career choices and subsequent decisions over the course of professional life. The literature is fragmented and currently exists in multiple formats. The meta-analysis and synthesis of knowledge will enhance our understanding of the challenges that women of color encounter in pursuing scientific careers, the strategies they employ to overcome them and the contextual and organizational factors that support their professional development. The results will indicate what is known, what initial findings need to be replicated, and what research gaps need to be identified. The study will stimulate further studies by building a research agenda for scholars and graduate students.

STEM中的有色人种女性很少是独立的研究对象。因此，人们对他们如何对科学感兴趣，他们的支持系统或可能使科学职业对他们更具吸引力的因素知之甚少。该项目将综合现有的研究、评估和叙事文献，涉及促进或阻碍代表性不足的少数族裔妇女进入STEM职业的因素。 这项工作将在大学水平、研究生水平和专业水平上区分影响。 该项目将有助于阐明影响最初职业选择和随后职业生涯决定的因素。文献是零散的，目前以多种格式存在。知识的元分析和综合将增强我们对有色人种女性在追求科学事业时遇到的挑战的理解，他们采用的克服这些挑战的策略以及支持他们职业发展的背景和组织因素。结果将表明已知的情况，需要复制的初步发现，以及需要确定的研究差距。这项研究将通过为学者和研究生建立一个研究议程来促进进一步的研究。
