Prior to the 2021 American Psychologist special issue "Rendered Invisible: Are Asian Americans a Model or a Marginalized Minority?" (Yip et al., 2021), only seven articles on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations were published in the journal in 3 decades. The special issue interrogated sources of invisibility and marginalization of AANHPIs not only in the field of psychology but also in the broader national landscape. The current commentary provides a deeper dive into one of the primary drivers of AANHPI invisibility, anti-Asian biases encountered during the federal grant review process, which contributes to low funding rates and insufficient research on AANHPI communities. Despite comprising over 6% of the U.S. population, less than 1% of the National Institutes of Health's funding portfolio supports science on AANHPI populations. This qualitative study revealed thematic barriers encountered during National Institutes of Health grant reviews. A one-time survey was circulated to professional scientific networks to obtain open-ended responses regarding applicants' and reviewers' experiences proposing research with AANHPI samples, resulting in data from N = 16 respondents. Respondents were asked to indicate their role in the review process (e.g., investigator, applicant, reviewer, other) and to provide open-ended responses detailing experiences of bias. Thematic coding revealed six principal themes: (1) invalidation, (2) limited reviewer knowledge, (3) oppression Olympics, (4) White comparison groups, (5) model minority myth, and (6) homogeneity of AANHPI groups. Building off these themes, this commentary concludes with five actionable policy and institutional recommendations aimed at achieving a more inclusive national research enterprise for AANHPI investigators and communities.

联邦拨款审查中的反亚裔偏见：对 Yip 等人的评论（2021 年）。


在 2021 年美国心理学家特刊“变得隐形：亚裔美国人是模特还是边缘化的少数族裔？（Yip et al.， 2021），3 年里，该杂志上只发表了 7 篇关于亚裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民 （AANHPI） 人口的文章。特刊询问了 AANHPI 的隐形和边缘化的根源，不仅在心理学领域，而且在更广泛的国家景观中。目前的评论更深入地探讨了 AANHPI 不可见的主要驱动因素之一，即在联邦拨款审查过程中遇到的反亚裔偏见，这导致了低资助率和对 AANHPI 社区的研究不足。尽管占美国人口的 6% 以上，但美国国立卫生研究院的资金组合中只有不到 1% 用于支持 AANHPI 人群的科学研究。这项定性研究揭示了在美国国立卫生研究院拨款审查期间遇到的主题障碍。向专业科学网络分发了一份一次性调查，以获得关于申请人和审稿人提议使用 AANHPI 样本进行研究的经验的开放式回复，从而获得来自 N = 16 名受访者的数据。受访者被要求表明他们在综述过程中的角色（例如，研究者、申请人、评价者、其他），并提供开放式回答，详细说明偏倚经历。主题编码揭示了六个主要主题：（1） 无效，（2） 审稿人知识有限，（3） 压迫奥运会，（4） 白人比较组，（5） 模型少数族裔神话，以及 （6） AANHPI 群体的同质性。 基于这些主题，本评论总结了五项可操作的政策和机构建议，旨在为 AANHPI 研究人员和社区实现更具包容性的国家研究事业。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
