This project funds a workshop for Postdoctoral Research Fellows in Biology, supported by the Broadening Participation of Groups Underrepresented in Biology track. The workshop is designed to serve fellows from the 2019 cohort by providing support for approximately 30 fellows to attend a workshop facilitated by SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for promoting best practices and assessment of broadening participation activities, professional and career development, and to catalyze interactions and collaborations between fellows and with established scientists.Postdoctoral Fellows conduct research across all fields of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences. The Fellows in this track also work to increase participation of students and others from groups underrepresented in science by mentoring, educational activities, and public outreach. The workshop will allow Fellows to exchange ideas and learn from experts about best practices and assessment of activities to broaden participation. To promote professional development, scientists will share effective strategies and information for different career paths. The venue for the workshop is 2019 SACNAS - The National Diversity in STEM Conference. The activities will occur in a day-long workshop prior to SACNAS followed by meetings throughout the three-day conference. Common interests and interactions during the workshop will make possible the formation of collaborations that persist as the Fellows disperse to their home research institutions across the US. Overall the workshop will contribute to the national goal of increasing STEM diversity by supporting leadership in broadening participation and the career success of the Fellows, who themselves comprise a diverse group.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目资助为生物学博士后研究员举办的讲习班，并得到生物学方面代表性不足群体的广泛参与的支持。该讲习班旨在为2019年队列中的研究员提供服务，为大约30名研究员提供支持，让他们参加由SACNAS(芝加哥人/拉美裔和美洲原住民科学促进会)主持的研讨会。讲习班的目的是提供一个论坛，促进最佳做法和对扩大参与活动、专业和职业发展的评估，并促进研究员之间以及与知名科学家之间的互动和合作。博士后研究员在生物科学局的支持下，从事生物学所有领域的研究。这一领域的研究员还致力于通过指导、教育活动和公共宣传，增加学生和其他在科学领域代表性不足的群体的参与。讲习班将使研究人员能够交流意见，并向专家学习最佳做法和评估活动，以扩大参与。为了促进专业发展，科学家将为不同的职业道路分享有效的战略和信息。研讨会的地点是2019 SACNAS-STEM国家多样性大会。这些活动将在SACNAS之前举行为期一天的讲习班，然后在为期三天的会议期间举行会议。研讨会期间的共同兴趣和互动将使合作的形成成为可能，随着研究员分散到美国各地的国内研究机构，这种合作将持续下去。总体而言，研讨会将通过支持研究员在扩大参与和事业成功方面的领导作用，为增加STEM多样性的国家目标做出贡献。研究员本身是一个不同的群体。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
