Overview

Observational analysis identifies barriers in research participation across diverse identities, highlighting inclusion challenges.

Key Points

  • Barriers significantly hinder researchers' careers, leading to negative outcomes for underrepresented identities.
  • Around four macro-areas of barriers were explored: Belonging and Community, Time and Timing, Access to Resources, and Communication.
  • Surveys and focus groups provided insights into the intersectional issues affecting research careers in STEM fields.
  • Understanding these barriers may lead to improved inclusion and diversity within academic research environments.
