“…The underrepresentation in science is similar to other sectors and may be attributed to the pervasive legacy of US federal- and state-sanctioned campaigns of systemic, racialized exclusion aimed to reduce the representation and participation of minoritized race groups in all aspects of human life ( 12 , 17 , 19 , 91 – 94 ). Recent calls for increased transparency and accountability in graduate student recruitment, retention, and faculty hiring and promotion ( 95 , 96 ) are particularly notable after the marked increase in media attention on anti-Black police violence, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black and Latinx populations ( 97 – 100 ) and on women academics ( 101 – 103 ). The effect of related policy interventions in response to these events remains to be tested.…”

The US scientific workforce is primarily composed of White men. Studies have demonstrated the systemic barriers preventing women and other minoritized populations from gaining entry to science; few, however, have taken an intersectional perspective and examined the consequences of these inequalities on scientific knowledge. We provide a large-scale bibliometric analysis of the relationship between intersectional identities, topics, and scientific impact. We find homophily between identities and topic, suggesting a relationship between diversity in the scientific workforce and expansion of the knowledge base. However, topic selection comes at a cost to minoritized individuals for whom we observe both between- and within-topic citation disadvantages. To enhance the robustness of science, research organizations should provide adequate resources to historically underfunded research areas while simultaneously providing access for minoritized individuals into high-prestige networks and topics.

“…In particular, given their direct interface with the healthcare system and the community, physicians, clinical psychologists, nurses, and other HCWs hold a vast amount of knowledge and experiences that could impact policies and expand access to funding for DEI activities in AMCs. AMCs can encourage HCW advocacy by recognizing it as scholarly work for faculty promotion and other incentives, which has already been proposed and outlined in the literature (Jindal et al, 2020 ; Nerlinger et al, 2018 ). Institutions can also provide protected time for faculty to meet with policy makers, to serve on advisory boards or medical societies, and to provide advocacy education to students or trainees (Dharamsi et al, 2011 ; Landers & Sehgal, 2000 ; Louisias et al, 2022 ).…”

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts at academic medical centers (AMCs) began prior to 2020, but have been accelerated after the death of George Floyd, leading many AMCs to recommit their support for DEI. Institutions crafted statements to decry racism, but we assert that institutions must make a transparent, continuous, and robust financial investment to truly show their commitment to DEI. This financial investment should focus on (1) advocacy efforts for programs that will contribute to DEI in health, (2) pipeline programs to support and guide minoritized students to enter health professions, and (3) the recruitment and retention of minoritized faculty. While financial investments will not eliminate all DEI concerns within AMCs, investing significant financial resources consistently and intentionally will better position AMCs to truly advance diversity, equity, and inclusion within healthcare, the community, and beyond.

“…Suggested actions to consider have previously been published by myself and other scholars who highlight critical first steps toward antiracism in academic medicine. [12][13][14] In the days between when the link was posted and the discussion was slated on the meeting agenda, I literally lost sleep. I diverted my time and energy away from my research to prepare a statement and to try to express the words that I did not share on the social media thread.…”
