“…However, a separate study of articles published in the journal Pediatric Dermatology found that the percentage of female first and senior authors has increased significantly since 1983, citing that by 2019, females made up 71% of first authors and 65% of senior authors 12 . Although representation of URM authors was not evaluated, suggestion has been made that equivalent or more impactful publications authored by URM scientists are less likely to receive the notoriety of those published by their non‐URM peers 15,16 . URM dermatology residency applicants are also likely disproportionately disadvantaged by the increasing average number of research publications per matched applicant given that many of these publications result from close mentorship and/or unpaid research years 17,18 .…”

Background/Objectives The Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) connects pediatric dermatologists, trainees, basic scientists, allied health professionals, and patient advocates to improve the lives of children with skin disease through research. As a training pipeline for future pediatric dermatologists and steward of research in the field, PeDRA has a responsibility to examine its history and take actionable steps to diversify its membership, grant recipients, study leads, research priorities, and leadership. Methods In 2020, PeDRA formed an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Task Force to address this need. In an effort to assess PeDRA’s past and plan for PeDRA’s future, a review of PeDRA’s membership, leadership, grant awardees, and research topics was conducted. Results/Conclusions Results demonstrated gaps in PeDRA’s current operational efforts to diversify the pediatric dermatology workforce and identified areas for improvement. Recommendations are proposed as a call to action for the community.
