In 2023, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened an expert committee to assess the current use of racial and ethnic categories in biomedical research, review existing guidance for researchers, and provide new guidance for future use. The resulting 2024 report, Rethinking Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research, outlines nine actionable recommendations and associated resources for advancing the responsible use of race and ethnicity.&nbsp;The recommendations address how to:<ul><li>Decide whether to use race and ethnicity in different research contexts&nbsp;</li><li>Characterize and disclose limitations of datasets that include racial and ethnic information</li><li>Identify factors to investigate instead of or alongside race and ethnicity</li><li>Include overlooked populations in analysis</li><li>Support sustained community engagement</li></ul>Access the report and supporting materials, including an interactive resource, action guides for research funders and journals, educational one pagers, and FAQs on the <a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/the-use-of-race-and-ethnicity-in-biomedical-research" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">project webpage</a>.

Goal #2: Promote partnerships and collaborations

Researchers from the<a href="https://crem.bu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Center for Regenerative Medicine</a> at Boston University (BU) and <a href="https://www.bmc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Boston Medical Center</a> have announced a new collaboration with the global biopharma company <a href="https://us.gsk.com/en-us/?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw68K4BhAuEiwAylp3kkQD4YKo_PM4VJiyHdjRSfozKgCVX7AGcrpTBzcyaPwwuuIc5P-ZYRoC0GwQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GSK</a> to advance innovative research focused on developing cutting-edge models to study and treat lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis.&nbsp;Pulmonary fibrosis, including its most common form, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, is a progressive and life-threatening condition that results in scarring of the lungs, making it increasingly difficult for patients to breathe. While the causes of this disease are complex and not fully understood, lung epithelial cells—specifically those lining the tiny air sacs where oxygen exchange occurs—have been found to play a central role in its development.&nbsp;Together with GSK, the Boston-based research team will focus on understanding how dysfunctional lung epithelial cells initiate and perpetuate the disease, including alveolar type 2 cells, which are responsible for maintaining the lung’s delicate architecture…&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://www.bumc.bu.edu/camed/2024/10/17/bu-boston-medical-center-researchers-join-forces-with-gsk-to-fight-lung-diseases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
