Of the reports that have been released, four consensus studies highlight significant recommendations that address increasing inclusivity in STEM: 1 Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation America's Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads (the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine, 2011) ; Minority Serving Institutions America's Underutilized Resource for Strengthening the STEM Workforce (the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2019)

It is increasingly essential to incorporate evidence-based, outcome-driven programs and strategies as leadership at institutions creates a culture of intentionality through the development of policies, infrastructure, and practices. 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.

Other federal agencies should consider broader impacts as a template for their grant-making and diversity goals. An adaptation of successful federal programs like the NSF ADVANCE program, which tasks STEM organizations with addressing an academic and institutional culture that has prevented or stagnated the advancement of people from minoritized groups, should be explored across governmental, nonprofit, and academic STEM organizations.

The recommendations also identify ways that industry should also incorporate practices that provide adequate work-life balance through remote work, flexible hours, parental and family leave and career counseling. Related Recommendations: • Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation: America's Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads: Recommendation 6 • Minority Serving Institutions: America's Underutilized Resource for Strengthening the STEM Workforce: Recommendation 7 • Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech: Recommendations 3-3, 4-3 and 4-4 THEME III: SUPPORT AND INCREASE PATHWAY PROGRAMS THAT TARGET UNDERREPRESENTED/UNDER-RESOURCED INDIVIDUALS Interest in STEM has been shown to start at an early age.

The federal government should seek to expand its programs and investments toward additional on-ramps for people from minoritized groups in STEM. The report on Defense Research Capacity at Historically Black Universities and Other Minority Universities recommends that federal agencies direct current workforce development scholarships and fellowships like the Department of Defense's SMART program to increase the representation of minority-serving institutions as a proportion of these programs by Fiscal Year 2025.

The Defense Research Capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions report recommends continual and consistent data collection and analysis across federal agencies to ensure compatibility with national databases. Given reporting structures across the federal government, agencies should, as best as possible, develop interagency guidelines for data collection and evaluation to improve tracking and annual assessments.
