Research Enhancement for Minority Scientists

9313895在生物科学的重要领域，少数群体的代表性不足，原因有很多。一个主要因素是，大量有能力的少数群体缺乏在最好的学术机构接受高素质教育培训的机会，接触高素质的科学家和研究实验室的机会不足。为了纠正其中一些不足之处，美国细胞生物学学会(ASCB)少数群体事务委员会提出了以下目标：1、向少数族裔和多数族裔机构代表人数不足的少数群体提供旅费，以参加ASCB年会，使受助者有机会参加研讨会、讲习班、海报会议，并与同行和ASCB顶尖科学家互动；2、向少数族裔学生和科学家提供学费、实验室费用、住房和旅行支助，让他们参加学术和/或技术课程以及在海洋生物实验室和星期五海港实验室等高质量学术场所举办的讲习班；3.支持暑期实习生和研究实验室的客座教授，提供最先进的细胞和分子生物学课程；4.支持ASCB少数群体参加年会、小型科学研讨会和讲习班，以及年会期间的ASCB年度早餐会；5.提供资金，支持ASCB执行办公室提供的基本秘书和管理服务，并支付印刷费，向科学界通报代表不足的少数群体的机会。*9313895 Wyche有许多原因导致少数群体在重要的生物科学领域代表性不足。一个主要因素是，大量有能力的少数群体缺乏在最好的学术机构接受高素质教育培训的机会，接触高素质的科学家和研究实验室的机会不足。为了纠正其中一些不足之处，美国细胞生物学学会(ASCB)少数群体事务委员会提出了以下目标：1、向少数族裔和多数族裔机构代表人数不足的少数群体提供旅费，以参加ASCB年会，使受助者有机会参加研讨会、讲习班、海报会议，并与同行和ASCB顶尖科学家互动；2、向少数族裔学生和科学家提供学费、实验室费用、住房和旅行支助，让他们参加学术和/或技术课程以及在海洋生物实验室和星期五海港实验室等高质量学术场所举办的讲习班；3.支持暑期实习生和研究实验室的客座教授，提供最先进的细胞和分子生物学课程；4.支持ASCB少数群体参加年会、小型科学研讨会和讲习班，以及年会期间的ASCB年度早餐会；5.提供资金，支持ASCB执行办公室提供的基本秘书和管理服务，并支付印刷费，向科学界通报代表不足的少数群体的机会。***

9313895 Wyche Many reasons account for the underrepresentation of minorities in important fields of biological sciences. A major contributing factor has been the paucity of opportunities for significant numbers of competent minorities to receive high caliber educational training at the best academic institutions, and insufficient exposure to high caliber scientists and research laboratories. In an effort to correct some of these deficiencies, the Minorities Affairs Committee (MAC) of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) has set forth the following objectives: 1, to provide travel grants to underrepresented minorities from minority and majority institutions to attend the annual meeting of the ASCB, which provides recipients with the opportunity to attend symposia, workshops, poster sessions, and to interact with peers and leading ASCB scientists; 2, to provide tuition, laboratory fees, housing and travel support to minority students and scientists to attend academic and/or technical courses and workshops at high quality academic sites such as the Marine Biological Laboratory and Friday Harbor Laboratory summer courses; 3, to support summer trainees and visiting professors in research laboratories offering state-of-the- art programs in cell and molecular biology; 4, to support orientation meetings of the ASCB minorities attending the annual meeting, mini-scientific symposia and workshops, and an annual ASCB breakfast meeting during the annual meeting; 5, to provide funds to support essential secretarial and managerial services provided by the ASCB executive office and printing costs to inform the scientific community of opportunitites for underrepresented minorities. *** 9313895 Wyche Many reasons account for the underrepresentation of minorities in important fields of biological sciences.
