Moreover, there is a substantial funding gap in NIH extramural funding to institutions where the relevant principal investigator identifies as an URM. However, minority scientists and physicians are underrepresented in biomedical research fields.
demographics are becoming increasingly diverse. However, these groups are persistently underrepresented at every scientific level within NCI extramural research. URMs, including racial and ethnic minorities-Blacks/African Americans (B/AA), Hispanic/Latinos (H/L), American Indian and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders (NH/OPI)-represent a growing segment of the United States population. This RFI is requesting input on Diversifying the Cancer Research Workforce. This request for information (RFI) is part of NCI’s Equity and Inclusion Program convened to identify opportunities and priorities that will promote equity and social justice in three areas: 1) Enhancing Cancer Health Disparities Research 2) Diversifying the Cancer Research Workforce and 3) Ensuring an Inclusive and Diverse Community at NCI.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is seeking information on how to enhance diversity and inclusion in the cancer research workforce, including enhancing the participation of individuals who are underrepresented in cancer research, such as underrepresented minorities (URM).
