Why Diversity in Biomedical Science?
Changing demographics in the United States warrant an emphasis in the promotion and recruitment of African Americans, American Indians and Hispanics into the biomedical sciences. The National Institutes of Health Strategic Plan (2016-2020) provides a framework to “Advance Opportunities in Biomedical Research,” in which enhancing diversity is a major tenet.
