Oh and one last thing: it provides a SKILL based argument for things like the PDEP and contributions to DEI statements, critically illustrating that these were NOT ideological statements but competencies that more diverse training environments required for the benefit of all trainees
To be successful, many scholars and policymakers recognized that broadening participation in science also needed to be effectively coupled to the development of evidence-based management and mentoring skills (reference 14). For example, the same data that demonstrate the value of diversity also show that it can produce challenges, such as undermining group cohesion and decision-making (references 11,13). In response, many of the recently targeted training grants and professional developmental programmes were explicitly designed to link efforts to broaden participation in science with developing or rewarding a demonstrated ability to support scientists and trainees from historically excluded groups. This acknowledgement that current training mechanisms required the active development of additional skill sets and policies beyond traditional mentoring methods was a powerful framework to improve training environments so that they better support all scientists, regardless of racial, ethnic or socioeconomic background.

Here is a word cloud of the words that were missing from the noncompetitive renewal awards but had been present in the parent award.

3/4
A word cloud with dominant words "equity", "disparity", "diverse", and similar words.
