Note. NIH = National Institutes of Health. Original NIH guidelines only require the first five categories and a “more than one race” designation (NIH, 2015). We used “Multi-racial” and added “Other” to reflect the most recent US Census and racial identities that fall outside of the required NIH categories (US Census Bureau, 2020b). Original NIH guidelines give ethnic categories as “Hispanic or Latino” and “Not Hispanic or Latino” and allow also for “Spanish origin” to be included (NIH, 2015). Parentheticals were added here for further gender inclusivity.
