Recommendations for funding and institutional practices for research to address impacts of systemic racism on pediatric asthma

Considerations	Descriptions
Investigative team	•Require diverse patient or community partner representation on the investigator team. •Criteria for diversity should have its own score line with specific criteria as part of scientific review.
Study design	•Require the study populations to be those most impacted by disease studied. •All requests for applications should have a requirement to include evaluation of social determinants of health. •Investigators should be required to explicitly consider disparities in outcomes, racism, the effects of racism, and contextual factors in the design of studies focused on childhood asthma.
Responsible conduct of research	•Mandatory training in systemic racism for all grantees.
Review	•Establish a framework for evaluating investigators’ treatment of and approach to systemic racism in asthma research proposals. •Ensure review committees have adequate expertise to evaluate multidisciplinary (e.g., social and biomedical sciences) research proposals.
