RATIONALE: Committed to its mission of conducting and supporting research that
addresses the health needs of all sectors of the nation's population, the
Division of Lung Diseases, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the
National Institutes of Health (NHLBI/NIH) seeks to identify issues that impact
the training and retention of underrepresented individuals in the biomedical
research workforce. OBJECTIVES: Early-stage investigators who received grant
support through the NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health
Related Research Program were invited to a workshop held in Bethesda, Maryland in
June, 2015, in order to (1) assess the effectiveness of the current NHLBI
diversity program, (2) improve its strategies towards achieving its goal, and (3)
provide guidance to assist the transition of diversity supplement recipients to
independent NIH grant support. METHODS: Workshop participants participated in
five independent focus groups to discuss specific topics affecting
underrepresented individuals in the biomedical sciences: (1) Socioeconomic
barriers to success for diverse research scientists; (2) role of the academic
research community in promoting diversity; (3) life beyond a research project
grant: non-primary investigator career paths in research; (4) facilitating career
development of diverse independent research scientists through NHLBI diversity
programs; and (5) effectiveness of current NHLBI programs for promoting diversity
of the biomedical workforce. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Several key issues
experienced by young, underrepresented biomedical scientists were identified, and
solutions were proposed to improve on training and career development for diverse
students, from the high school to postdoctoral trainee level, and address
limitations of currently available diversity programs. Although some of the
challenges mentioned, such as cost of living, limited parental leave, and
insecure extramural funding, are also likely faced by nonminority scientists,
these issues are magnified among diversity scientists and are complicated by
unique circumstances in this group, such as limited exposure to science at a
young age, absence of role models and mentors from underrepresented backgrounds,
and social norms that relegate their career endeavors, particularly among women,
to being subordinate to their expected cultural role. CONCLUSIONS: The factors
influencing the participation of underrepresented minorities in the biomedical
workforce are complex and span several continuous or overlapping stages in the
professional development of scientists from these groups. Therefore, a
multipronged approach is needed to enable the professional development and
retention of underrepresented minorities in biomedical research. This approach
should address both individual and social factors and should involve funding
agencies, academic institutions, mentoring teams, professional societies, and
peer collaboration. Implementation of some of the recommendations, such as access
to child care, institutional support and health benefits for trainees, teaching
and entrepreneurial opportunities, grant-writing webinars, and pre-NIH career
development (Pre-K) pilot programs would not only benefit biomedical scientists
from underrepresented groups but also improve the situation of nondiverse junior
scientists. However, other issues, such as opportunities for early exposure to
science of disadvantaged/minority groups, and identifying mentors/life
coaches/peer mentors who come from similar cultural backgrounds and vantage
points, are unique to this group.
