Using seven years of evaluation data collected from a variety of activities and services provided by the Rhode Island (RI) Advance Center for Translational Research, we will examine impediments to conducting translational research experienced by researchers from groups underrepresented in science and medicine (e.g. women, racially/ethnically non-white, persons with disability or a disadvantaged background). Recent survey data highlighting the types of research barriers disproportionately confronting researchers from underrepresented groups in RI will be presented. Strategies for dismantling these barriers will be discussed. While quick fixes are unlikely, we intend that sharing experiences across CTRs will elucidate promising approaches for enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the translational research enterprise.
