OverviewAnalyzing the participation and advancement of underrepresented individuals and institutionsrequires a review of measures of diversity used in both prior research in the STEM fields and inthe business, government, or education fields. This literature review uncovered several metricsfor measuring diversity in a wide variety of settings as well as questions to be asked eachprincipal investigator, school, school district, department, college, and institution regarding theirresearch and research capacity as well as education and education capacity. Questions wereclassified into those to be asked about individuals from populations underrepresented in STEM
