- The NIH-funded Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Researchers (CEGIR) formed a diversity committee to combat systemic racism and implicit bias in the care and research of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs).
- The committee established mission statements, integrated diversity discussions into meetings, and launched educational initiatives, such as a speaker series and a publication library.
- Their research agenda aims to address demographic understanding, reduce bias in literature, investigate health disparities, and create a framework for ongoing projects to enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in EGID research and care.
