The most recent guidelines include nine criteria for underrepresentation. To qualify, a person must be from a racial or ethnic minority or have a disability, or meet two of the other seven criteria: experience with homelessness, experience with foster care, eligibility for free/reduced-price lunch, status as a first-generation college student, eligibility for Federal Pell grants, eligibility for WIC, or come from an underserved area. The NIH provides a tool to assess an individual's qualification for only one criterion (i.e., underserved area) of the nine. Without asking applicants directly for extensive and sensitive demographic data, it is challenging to determine whether a person qualifies as underrepresented under NIH guidelines. Diversifying STEM and providing opportunities to historically underrepresented populations remain national priorities, yet the aforementioned barriers make it difficult to comprehensively define underrepresented and then translate those definitions to an actual use case in a way that is not overly demanding of the applicant. 000008333 536__ $$oNIH$$cUL1GM118964 000008333 540__ $$fCC BY 000008333 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008333 650__ $$aMedically Underserved Area$$021955 000008333 650__ $$aMinority Groups$$022336 000008333 650__ $$aDemography$$017465 000008333 650__ $$aNational Institutes of Health (U.S.)$$022711 000008333 650__ $$aData Collection$$017385 000008333 650__ $$aBiomedical Research$$034689 000008333 650__ $$aUniversities$$027581 000008333 650__ $$aEducation, Medical, Undergraduate$$018226 000008333 650__ $$aIll-Housed Persons$$020282 000008333 650__ $$aSocial Determinants of Health$$040530 000008333 650__ $$aDiversity, Equity, Inclusion$$013904 000008333 650__ $$aRacism$$040240 000008333 650__ $$aDisabled Persons$$019843 000008333 650__ $$aRacial Groups$$035486 000008333 650__ $$aEthnicity$$018700 000008333 6531_ $$acontinental population groups 000008333 6531_ $$adiscrimination 000008333 6531_ $$aSTEM 000008333 6531_ $$aunderrepresented groups 000008333 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008333 692__ $$aOregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute$$041494 000008333 7001_ $$aNelson, Kristina$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008333 7001_ $$aZell, Adrienne$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008333 7001_ $$aHonor, Matt$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008333 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008333 8564_ $$9b3e14470-c80b-477f-a15b-836275eb9229$$s47520$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8333/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Nelson.Kristina_Abstract.pdf 000008333 8564_ $$9e22a0e9b-dc9a-4b61-8123-dc9e4925d245$$s898111$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8333/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Nelson.Kristina_Presentation.pdf 000008333 905__ $$a/rest/prod/zs/25/x9/10/zs25x9106 000008333 980__ $$aResearch Week
