This meeting will bring together a broad range of stakeholders: researchers, physicians, and policy-makers to discuss the causes and impact of biased representation in biomedical research, as well as discuss creative solutions to overcome these challenges, with a focus on the United States. By bringing together investigators and trainees to address a multi-faceted approach, we hope to enable diverse and interdisciplinary biomedical research. This will ensure downstream translation of findings to the populations with the highest burden of disease and have a meaningful impact in both advancing scientific research and health equity.
