Strategies for building capacity at minority serving institutions for advancing research and research impacts.

To address systemic barriers to inclusion, including bias, inequitable partnerships, and limited research support and service capacity, Spelman College, NORDP, and ARIS brought together leaders at MSIs to discuss their research experiences. The process convened 34 representatives across two virtual listening sessions in March and April 2023, and an in-person convening in June 2023 at Spelman College. Participants elevated the importance of celebrating successes at MSIs while also acknowledging the systemic barriers and challenges MSIs continue to face. The project was funded by the National Science Foundation through grant MCB-2236057
