URM researchers less likely to get NIH funds, have smaller networks and fewer sponsorships than nonminority counterparts (21). But, URM researchers contribute to scientific innovation at high rates, i.e., “the diversity-innovation paradox in science” (22) stm.sciencemag.org/content/13/584…
"URM researchers are routinely called upon to devote more hours toward service to their departments and institutions than their peers. This service burden for URM researchers at academic medical centers is known as the “minority tax” (24)."
"...ironically at the expense of other career goals, URM researchers have experienced an increase in this “tax” in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, as many have been asked to take on roles to helping their institutions on calls for increased DEI, and antiracism (25, 26)."
"URM women researchers are especially affected by the minority tax, because they experience an even greater obligation to fulfill service roles (27)."
