This article details the methodology used by a team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh to develop a set of evidence-based quality standards for pre-college STEM programs that center equity and justice to drive programs to broaden participation of racially/ethnically minoritized groups in STEM. With support from a National Science Foundation Eddie Bernice Johnson Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (INCLUDES) Design and Development Launch Pilot (DDLP) grant, researchers engaged in a five-stage development process that tapped field knowledge about engaging and serving minoritized communities, leveraged frameworks for accrediting educational organizations, and built on existing approaches to evaluating out-of-school programming to derive critical qualities of programs successful in broadening participation. This article details the development methodology and presents the evidence-based quality standards for broadening participation that can be used to focus STEM program improvement efforts. It further describes how these standards are being used within the STEM Pathways for Underrepresented Students to HigherEd (STEM PUSH) Network, an NSF-funded Alliance that brings precollege STEM programs from seven cities together to better serve racially/ethnically minoritized students.
