RESEARCH AND DATA

2019 Michigan State University and University of Michigan Study on Diverse Teams

Researchers from Michigan State University and University of Michigan examined diversity in two categories: demographic (race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation and nationality) and scientific (career stage, academic discipline and tenure on the team).

A sample of 266 participants from 105 National Science Foundation-funded environmental science teams completed questionnaires about individual and team diversity, their satisfaction with their teams and authorship practices, and perceptions of the frequency of data sharing. They also disclosed perceptions of their team climate, including team collaboration, inclusion, and procedural justice, which focused on influencing team policies related to research.

Researchers found that the very individuals who add diversity to their science teams surprisingly do not experience positive outcomes. The study is published in PLOS ONE. Read article here.
