Intellectual merit: The attrition rate for biologists from underrepresented groups is currently highest during the post-doctoral and assistant professor years. Tenure and promotion success to reach senior faculty positions requires sustained research productivity, even at small teaching-centered colleges. As such, virtually all early-stage faculty face the challenge of developing into consistent, creative and productive writers within their discipline. Common barriers to effective scholarly writing include: lack of a supportive community; poor mentorship and training in productive writing habits; and lack of guidance on best strategies for disseminating work. An intensive writing workshop and retreat for early stage faculty from underrepresented groups will develop models for effective publication by drawing on the expertise of editors and reviewers, highly productive senior scientists, and administrators knowledgeable about tenure processes from a range of institutions. Participants will divide their time between panel discussions and informal workshops led by the mentors, and time to work on and receive feedback about a writing project of their own. Additionally, the workshop organizers will collect and disseminate data on both the pitfalls early-stage faculty encounter in effective writing and the most effective strategies identified during the workshop for overcoming those barriers.Broader impacts: Bringing together a diverse group of participants and mentors who encompass the full range of scholarly publication experience will build a more diverse community of biologists who may support each other in attaining scholarly productivity commiserate with promotion and tenure in a variety of institutional contexts.

智力优点：来自代表性不足群体的生物学家的流失率目前在博士后和助理教授期间最高。终身教职和晋升成功达到高级教师职位需要持续的研究生产力，即使在小型教学为中心的大学。因此，几乎所有的早期教师都面临着在他们的学科中发展成为一致的，创造性的和富有成效的作家的挑战。有效学术写作的常见障碍包括：缺乏支持性社区;缺乏有效写作习惯的指导和培训;缺乏传播工作的最佳策略的指导。来自代表性不足群体的早期教师的密集写作研讨会和务虚会将通过利用编辑和审稿人，高生产力的高级科学家和管理人员的专业知识来开发有效出版的模型。参与者将在小组讨论和由导师领导的非正式研讨会之间分配时间，并有时间进行自己的写作项目并获得反馈。此外，研讨会组织者将收集和传播关于早期教师在有效写作中遇到的陷阱以及研讨会期间确定的克服这些障碍的最有效策略的数据。汇集了一个多元化的参与者和导师谁涵盖了全方位的学术出版经验将建立一个更多样化的生物学家谁可以相互支持，以实现社区学术生产力与各种机构环境中的晋升和终身职位相一致。
