美国少数族裔人口的比例与来自这些少数群体的研究人员数量之间的差距越来越大。这一竞技场的一个主要障碍是缺乏这类受训人员的导师。目前的学术环境对于研究导师的发展和维持来说并不是最佳的，特别是对于来自代表性不足的少数民族群体的被指导者来说。大学、医学院和资助机构需要携起手来，实施国家和地方一级的计划，帮助培养和奖励少数民族青年科学家的导师。(Am J公共卫生。2009;99：S31-S37. doi：10.2105/AJPH.2008.154633）
There is a widening disparity between the proportion of ethnic minority Americans in the population and the number of researchers from these minority groups. One major obstacle in this arena relates to a dearth of mentors for such trainees. The present academic settings are not optimal for development and sustenance of research mentors, especially for mentees from underrepresented minority ethnic groups.Mentoring skills can and should be evaluated and enhanced. Universities, medical schools, and funding agencies need to join hands and implement national- and local-level programs to help develop and reward mentors of junior scientists from ethnic minority groups.
