In the realm of academic medicine and scientific research, systemic inequities exist both at the participant or patient level and at the level of the researcher. In this paper, we outline sex, gender, geographical, ethnic, and racial inequities in those who participate as subjects in research, which often leads to the exclusion of vulnerable populations. In addition, we highlight inequities in research funding, mentorship, publications, language, career stage, and leadership roles that lead to disparities in who conducts the research or decides on research priorities. We also report algorithmic bias and artificial intelligence as an emerging source of inequities in research. We conclude by proposing strategies to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in research and publication and provide a framework for achieving this when conducting clinical trials.
