Overview
黑人,西班牙裔和美洲原住民在历史上的科学,技术,工程和数学(STEM)工作不足。[1]黑人总体上占美国劳动力的11%,但占STEM工人的9%,而西班牙裔则占美国劳动力的16%,但只有7%的STEM工人。[2]2016年,有553名美国原住民学生申请了医学院,但实际上只有大约三分之一的申请人。[3]On top of this, from 2018-2019, Black founders received 1.7% of venture capital while Hispanic founders received 1.3%.[4]
加州生命科学(CLS)最近宣布了创建种族与社会公平(RSE)倡议,由CLS成员公司资助的多年计划的一部分,该计划旨在帮助缩小不平等的差距并创造更多样化的行业。RSE计划的直接重点是增加代表性不足的学生的STEM机会;促进代表性不足的人才的招聘,发展和进步;投资多元化企业家并增加董事会成员多样性;并为服务不足的社区提供公平的护理机会。
