Dr. Kennedy Reed has an extensive portfolio of work broadening the participation of women and minorities in STEM disciplines. Dr. Reed has been a physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) since 1979, working on research in theoretical atomic physics. Throughout his career at LLNL, he has played a significant role in efforts to increase opportunities for minority students and professionals in the sciences. An important contribution has been the establishment of a national model for scientific collaborations linking leading scientists from a national laboratory with professors and students from Minority Serving Institutions. Through a program to bring together LLNL scientists, faculty from Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) and other institutions serving predominantly minority students (MIs) the LLNL/HBCU/MI Program, has produced more than thirty scientific publications co-authored by LLNL scientists and HBCU/MI faculty and students. A significant number of student participants in the program have pursued advanced degrees, and many have entered the science and technology workforce. Dr. Reed initiated an undergraduate program at LLNL and has encouraged minority students to pursue advanced degrees and careers in STEM disciplines. Many of these students have entered the STEM workforce. Recognizing that minority recruitment and retention in these disciplines posed challenges, he was instrumental in the creation of graduate fellowships at LLNL for students, and then helped to broaden those opportunities among the other national laboratories. In his commitment to broadening the participation of minority and female students in the physical sciences, Dr. Reed has succeeded in helping 100 of these students to earn their doctorates.Dr. Reed has been instrumental in shaping the careers of numerous students through other activities such as the National Physical Science Consortium Fellows program and the National Society of Black Physicists Fellows. Dr. Reed's work has helped to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in STEM and enhance the research and academic infrastructure of Minority Serving Institutions. Through the efforts of the consortium, over 300 graduate fellowships have been awarded. He served as the Chair of the National Society of Black Physicists, and continues to chair its scholarship committee. Over 30 undergraduates have received scholarships.

肯尼迪·里德有广泛的工作组合，扩大妇女和少数民族在干学科的参与。里德博士自1979年以来一直是劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室（LLNL）的物理学家，从事理论原子物理学的研究。在LLNL的整个职业生涯中，他在努力增加少数民族学生和科学专业人士的机会方面发挥了重要作用。一项重要贡献是建立了一个国家科学合作模式，将国家实验室的主要科学家与少数群体服务机构的教授和学生联系起来。通过一项计划，汇集LLNL科学家，教师从历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和其他机构服务主要少数民族学生（MIs）的LLNL/HBCU/MI计划，产生了三十多个科学出版物共同撰写的LLNL科学家和HBCU/MI教师和学生。参加该计划的学生中有相当多的人攻读了高级学位，许多人已经进入了科学和技术工作队伍。里德博士在LLNL发起了一个本科项目，并鼓励少数民族学生攻读STEM学科的高级学位和职业。这些学生中的许多人已经进入STEM劳动力市场。认识到这些学科的少数民族招聘和保留带来了挑战，他在LLNL为学生创建研究生奖学金方面发挥了重要作用，然后帮助扩大其他国家实验室的这些机会。里德博士致力于扩大少数民族和女性学生在物理科学领域的参与，已成功帮助100名学生获得博士学位。里德博士通过其他活动，如国家物理科学联盟研究员计划和国家黑人物理学家协会研究员，在塑造众多学生的职业生涯方面发挥了重要作用。里德的工作有助于扩大在干代表性不足的学生的参与，并加强少数民族服务机构的研究和学术基础设施。通过联合会的努力，已颁发了300多个研究生奖学金。他曾担任全国黑人物理学家协会主席，并继续主持其奖学金委员会。30多名本科生获得了奖学金。
