(Un)conscious bias affects every aspect of the astronomical profession, fromscientific activities (e.g., invitations to join collaborations, proposalselections, grant allocations, publication review processes, and invitations toattend and speak at conferences) to activities more strictly related to careeradvancement (e.g., reference letters, fellowships, hiring, promotion, andtenure). For many, (un)conscious bias is still the main hurdle to achievingexcellence, as the most diverse talents encounter bigger challenges anddifficulties to reach the same milestones than their more privilegedcolleagues. Over the past few years, the Space Telescope Science Institute(STScI) has constructed tools to raise awareness of (un)conscious bias and hasdesigned guidelines and goals to increase diversity representation and outcomein its scientific activities, including career-related matters and STScIsponsored fellowships, conferences, workshops, and colloquia. STScI has alsoaddressed (un)conscious bias in the peer-review process by anonymizingsubmission and evaluation of Hubble Space Telescope (and soon to be James WebbSpace Telescope) observing proposals. In this white paper we present a plan tostandardize these methods with the expectation that these universalrecommendations will truly increase diversity, inclusiveness and fairness inAstronomy if applied consistently throughout all the scientific activities ofthe Astronomical community.
