Achieving a successful career in science requires more than the creative process of planning important experiments and the expertise to execute them precisely. Traditionally, the training of scientists is an apprenticeship process; thesis-advisors and postdoctoral mentors are guides and role models for the young scientist. For women and minorities this process, which depends so heavily on a personal "friendship", often fails. The culture and process of science must be made available to all scientists so that they may take positive steps to advance in their careers. The proposed workshop is designed for women and minorities who are just establishing their independence as scientists, i.e. who are holding their first research grants. This early stage in a career is especially precarious; departmental and teaching demands are an absolute requirement. Despite the large investment in education and training made, this stage in the scientific careers of women and minorities often is their last. This workshop will address the following aspects of careers in biological sciences: 1) tenure and promotion; 2) grants and publications; 3) the culture of science; 4) effective communication. In addition, a critique of the workshop will be conducted so that it may serve as a prototype for future workshops directed toward the greater participation of women and minorities at higher levels of science and engineering careers. The goal of this workshop is to present women and minority scientists with some of the tools required to advance scientific careers. This is expected to be a prototype conference to help establish tested formats for the dissemination of professional advancement skills to these groups which have been traditionally under-represented in the upper levels of scientific careers, but who will constitute the greater part of the future workforce in the United States.

在科学领域取得成功需要的不仅仅是 计划重要实验的创造性过程和 专业知识来精确执行它们。 传统上，培训 科学家是一个学徒的过程;论文顾问和 博士后导师是年轻人的向导和榜样 科学家 对于妇女和少数民族来说，这一过程取决于 如此严重地依赖于个人的“友谊”，往往会失败。 文化 必须让所有科学家都能了解科学的过程 使他们能够采取积极步骤，在职业生涯中取得进步。 拟议的讲习班是为妇女和少数民族设计的， 只是在确立他们作为科学家的独立性， 拿到了他们的第一笔研究赠款 的早期阶段 职业是特别不稳定的;部门和教学 要求是绝对的要求。 尽管有大批 在教育和培训方面的投资，这一阶段 妇女和少数民族的科学生涯往往是他们的最后一次。 本研讨会将讨论以下方面的职业生涯， 生物科学：1）任期和晋升; 2）赠款和 （3）科学文化;（4）有效 通信 此外，对研讨会的评论将是 进行，以便它可以作为未来的原型， 旨在促进妇女更多参与的讲习班， 少数民族在科学和工程职业的更高水平。 本次研讨会的目标是介绍妇女和少数民族 科学家们掌握了一些必要的工具， careers. 预计这将是一个原型会议， 为传播专业知识建立经过测试的格式， 这些传统上被认为是 在科学事业的高层代表不足，但 谁将构成未来劳动力的大部分， 美国的
