Research Brief | Broadening Participation in STEM: Evidence-based Strategies for Improving Equity and Inclusion of Individuals in Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Groups

We highlight strategies such as culturally relevant pedagogical practices, family support, hands-on learning, summer bridge programs, research experiences, counterspaces, and mentoring. The list is not exhaustive; we only cited published work within the last five years and that we believe relates to the context of INCLUDES.
