The National Academies of Sciences sponsored workshop titled "Understanding Interventions that Encourage Minorities to Pursue Research Careers: Major questions and Appropriate Methods" was held at the AAAS on May 3-4 2007. The report of the workshop is available at The National Academies website. A proposed outcome was the establishment of an Interdisciplinary Community of Scholars focused on the issues of applying hypothesis based inquiry to interventions aimed at increasing diversity in research related fields. One major component of growing and mainting this community is an annual meeting where individuals conducting research in this area can present their work, interact with colleagues including those planning and implementing programs aimed at broadening participation in research careers.
