... There are several instances in which research agenda items may be located within a specific level, but actually span multiple levels due to the complexity of how these levels are overlapping. Therefore, the overall organizational structure of the research agenda by level is meant to help guide the reader; it is not meant to enforce strict ideological boundaries between the levels.

... . Part of the investigations could include how a system could be implemented, and ultimately test what kind of impact reparations may have on minoritized individuals and their ability to enter into and thrive in STEMM, as well as the impact on the White majority group.
From page 268...
... There needs to be a greater examination of the impact of structural financial investments in communities of minoritized individuals in the United States. As these sectors underlie entry into STEMM, it is important to examine whether financial investments in areas in which minoritized individuals have faced systemic disinvestment and disadvantage would ultimately help improve wether presentation and their ability to thrive in STEMM for generations to come.

... What fraction of the STEMM workforce is in small businesses, and what is the fraction of minoritized individuals in these spaces?
From page 270...
... There needs to be a greater assessment of persistence of students in the STEMM degrees, across all STEMM disciplines. This includes a strong focus on minoritized individuals.
From page 271...
... 3. What are the strengths, skills, resources, and perspectives that minoritized individuals bring back with them into the STEMM workforce?
From page 272...
... There needs to be a continued investigation focused on identifying which organization-level interventions, including policies, practices, procedures, opportunity structures, trainings, and interventions, work in producing measurable and sustainable change in advancing antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEMM organizations. There needs to be a greater empirical examination of the following: 1.
From page 273...
... There needs to be a more comprehensive examination of the organization-level White-centered "professionalism" standards that impact minoritized individuals. For instance, as discussed in Chapter 5, research has demonstrated that many minoritized individuals codeswitch in predominantly White contexts.
From page 274...
... Additional research is needed from the perspective of minoritized individuals. Furthermore, there needs to be an examination of what it means to build a critical mass of minoritized individuals on STEMM teams, and the impact that has on team performance and minoritized individuals.
From page 275...
... Furthermore, additional research is needed to identify the specific components of summer bridge programs that may be significant factors in producing specific positive outcomes for minoritized individuals. The committee found that additional research is needed to examine the psychological impacts of perpetuating racism from the perspective of the gatekeeper in STEMM.
From page 276...
... A much more robust and nuanced body of research focused on Asian Americans in STEMM contexts is needed.2 Asian Americans are not a monolithic group, and persons who identify as Asian American may claim many different geographical, ethnic, and immigrant roots. There needs to be a greater empirical examination of the following: 1.

... This includes how multiple systems and structures of privilege and oppression that are connected to individuals' multiple identities inform the lived experiences of minoritized individuals across various STEMM contexts.
From page 279...
... Furthermore, the system through which the persons travel is not inert; rather, leaders have the responsibility for actively creating an inclusive environment. The "leaky pipeline" framework frequently describes the points where minoritized individuals exit STEMM.
From page 280...
... In addition, there needs to be a greater incorporation of factors that may vary by race and ethnicity. These are essential in understanding minoritized individuals' experiences, barriers, and opportunities in STEMM contexts.
From page 281...
... In addition, researchers need to critically consider and minimize the potential risk of identifying single minoritized individuals (Randall et al., 2021) , including when studying non-numerically diverse STEMM spaces.

From page 286...
... The report Minority Serving Institutions: America's Underutilized Resource for Strengthening the STEM workforce argues that an integral aspect of developing this intentional culture revolves around investing in succession planning and professional development training programs for the next generation of diverse STEM leaders. While increasing the number of people from minoritized groups in leadership at STEM institutions will provide a step in the right direction, solidifying the role of DEI in an institution's organizational structure will fortify long-term actions.
