Through our systematic review of STEM education research at HSIs, we identified (under) studied components of servingness and gaps within this literature base. Specifically, among the 128 qualifying articles, nearly two‑thirds focused on student outcomes but overlooked institutions’ organizational context, raising questions about the effect(iveness) of the studied interventions. Additionally, we identified three thematic gaps in this literature: ghosting the HSI context (i.e., relying on HSIs as research sites without considering the unique HSI context); ghosting Latinx culture (i.e., decentering Latinx students and the Latinx community’s sociocultural aspects and assets), and ghosting people and places (i.e., under examining certain student populations like Latino men
in STEM and places like Hispanic‑serving community colleges). Ultimately, our study extends the field’s understanding of servingness by attending to STEM education within the context of HSI institutions.

C-Change Faculty Survey
The validated C-Change Faculty Survey© assesses the institutional culture and the professional experiences of faculty in academic medicine and the health sciences. The survey assesses the extent of vitality, relationships, professionalism, feelings of being valued and belonging, inclusion, respect, race, ethnicity and gender equity, mentoring, valuing diversity, antisexism, antiracism skills, and change agency for equity. The survey provides an assessment framework for inclusive excellence. The validated C-Change Faculty Survey has been used by institutions across the country, and by the NIH in studies including the NIH FIRST Program.

“The Unconscious Bias course was a good fit to meet the training needs of our large consortium of nearly 30 sites across the country. The NRMN team created cohorts for each site and helped us with completion reports for tracking. Several consortium members shared how relevant the content was to research compared to other unconscious bias trainings. We plan to use the course for other large consortia in the future.”

For over 20 years, the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) – recipient of the 2019 AIMBE Excellence in STEM Education Award – has been the go-to conference for historically excluded community college, undergraduate, and postbaccalaureate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. As ABRCMS has continued to grow and evolve, it has also become a space for graduate students, postdocs, faculty, program administrators and more.
Plan to join us for ABRCMS 2024, taking place in-person, Nov. 13-16 in Pittsburgh, PA.

NRMN & Texas CEAL Webinar
Addressing the Disproportionate Impact of COVID-19, Long COVID, and other Chronic Diseases Among Minority Communities in TX through Research, Outreach, and Education
In this discussion, Palak Desai detailed the impacts that the TX CEAL Consortium had in combating misinformation in the health community. Under the umbrella of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL), the Texas CEAL Consortium began in 2020 to address the urgent need for minority communities to participate in COVID-19 therapeutic and vaccine trials. Since then, they reached hundreds of thousands of people in Texas through the health initiatives of their regional partners.
