What groups are historically underrepresented in STEM in the United States?  The NIH provides one definition, which includes individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g., low socioeconomic status). Women from the above backgrounds and at the senior faculty level experience particular challenges.
