Academic preparation is critical to increase Black representation in Science, Engineering, and Medicine, but so, too, are such interrelated factors as providing mentoring and role models in sufficient numbers, adequately funding school and community support services, and analyzing the intentional and unintentional consequences of a range of policies and practices. To address these issues, the Roundtable on Black Men and Black Women of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a virtual workshop on September 2 and 3, 2020. Titled "Educational Pathways for Blacks in Science, Engineering, and Medicine: Exploring Barriers and Possible Interventions," the workshop provided a platform to explore challenges and opportunities, beginning in the earliest years of life through K-12 schooling, undergraduate and postgraduate education, and into the workforce. Presenters throughout the workshop provided perspectives from research and from their own experiences to discuss the need for systemic solutions inside and outside of formal education institutions. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop. [Olujimi Ajijola, Charles R. Bridges, Jr., Lynne M. Holden, and Paula Whitacre served as Rapporteurs. Caro T. Laurencin served as Editor. Additional contributors include the Roundtable on Black Men and Black Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine; Policy and Global Affairs; and the Health and Medicine Division. Additional funding by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and UConn Health.]
