 "Today, NIH Director Dr. Francis S. Collins
announced the launch of UNITE, a new NIH initiative aimed at bringing
an end to structural racism in biomedical research. In his statement,
Dr. Collins recalled NIH’s longstanding support of programs to expand
the diversity of the scientific workforce, but he acknowledged
shortfalls in NIH’s efforts to bring ‘…diverse perspectives,
backgrounds, and skillsets to complex scientific problems.’ As the
Director of NIMHD, I enthusiastically endorse this newly stated goal
for NIH to address, manage, and eliminate systemic racism and
discrimination embedded in policies and practices in the biomedical
research enterprise."
