"ASHG recognizes there is a great need to promote diversity and inclusion in the human genetics research workforce—a need reinforced by many studies of the larger research community and experience within human genetics. Greater diversity would welcome and include individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; individuals with disabilities; and individuals from socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds." The Human Genetics Scholars Initiative was launched in 2019 to help advance diversity and inclusion in the field. More about the program here: https://www.ashg.org/membership/awards/hgsi/
