RaMP: Diversifying the National Biology Workforce through New York Transdisciplinary BioSciences (NY-RaMP)

指导下一代多样化的科学工作者对于加速创新科学和促进积极的国家未来至关重要。纽约的研究网络结合了跨学术界、工业界和研究机构的跨学科生物科学，拥有许多创造性的头脑和才华横溢的劳动力，但高级职位通常缺乏多样性。亨特学院贝尔弗研究联盟的研究教授和训练有素的教育工作者将领导纽约生物科学博士后研究和指导（NY-RaMP）跨学科项目。NY-RaMP的指导团队将提供研究和专业发展机会，以启动缺乏研究经验的近期理科毕业生的职业生涯。NY-RaMP项目将在跨学科细胞、分子和生物信息学领域提供高影响力的浸入式研究和教育，重点是发现科学。沉浸式体验是为那些研究经验有限的好奇的应届毕业生准备的。该计划将使选定的新兴学者受到积极参与协作细胞信号研究的研究教授的培训。重要的是，NY-RaMP将致力于为国家提供急需的多样化的跨学科生物学训练有素的劳动力。NY-RaMP项目为三组10名应届毕业生提供为期一年的生物学研究经验，以跨学科实验、计算和应用生物科学为主题，研究细胞信号。纽约市立大学（CUNY）亨特学院的跨部门教授担任首席研究员（PI）、协调员和联合PI以及导师，与来自纽约州其他机构的共同指导团队合作。这些跨学科的科学家共同为纽约在奖学金和劳动力发展方面提供的人和科学的多样性架起了桥梁。该项目鼓励新兴学者成为生物学思想家，并发展成为科学家。NY- ramp将选定的新兴学者与纽约市立大学布鲁克林分校的冷泉港实验室（CSHL）分子生物学DNA学习中心和基于基因的定向训练营（除了后续的实地考察外），纽约州立大学（SUNY）的领导和校园，Skirball科学学习中心（在亨特学院），康奈尔文化谦卑中心，积极的纽约生物工业实地考察。参观纽约地区的学院和大学。这个跨学科的研究重点项目是为参与合作发现科学而设计的，为导师和学员在多样化的综合环境中获得对细胞信号的深刻理解。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Mentoring the next generation of a diverse scientific workforce is critical to accelerate innovative science and promote a positive national future. The research network in New York combines trans-disciplinary biosciences across academia, industry, and research institutes with many creative minds and a talented workforce, however senior positions typically lack diversity. Research professors and trained educators of the Hunter College Belfer Research Alliance will lead the New York Research and Mentoring for Postbaccalaureates in Biological Sciences (NY-RaMP) trans-disciplinary program. The mentoring team of NY-RaMP will provide research and professional development opportunities to launch the careers of recent science graduates lacking research experience. The NY-RaMP program will provide high-impact research immersion and education in trans-disciplinary cell, molecular, and bioinformatics, with a focus on discovery science. The immersion experiences are for inquisitive recent graduates who have limited research experience. This program will enable the selected emerging scholars to be trained by research professors actively involved in collaborative cell signaling research. Importantly, NY-RaMP will work to provide the nation with a much-needed diverse trans-disciplinary biology trained workforce.The NY-RaMP program provides one-year biology research experiences for three cohorts of ten recent graduates under the umbrella theme of trans-disciplinary experimental, computational, and applied biosciences to investigate cellular signaling. Cross-departmental City University of New York (CUNY) Hunter College professors serve as the principal investigator (PI), the coordinator and co-PIs, and the mentors, in collaboration with co-mentoring teams from other New York state institutions. Together these trans-disciplinary scientists bridge the diversity of people and science that New York has to offer in scholarship and workforce development. The program encourages emerging scholars to become biological thinkers and develop into scientists. The NY-RaMP connects the selected emerging scholars to the CUNY Brooklyn-based Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) DNA Learning Center for molecular biology and gene-based orientation boot-camp (in addition to follow-up field trips), to State University of New York's (SUNY's) leadership and campuses, to the Skirball Science Learning Center (at Hunter College), to the Cornell Center for Cultural Humility, to active NY Biology Industry field trips, and to visits to NY-area Colleges and Universities. This trans-disciplinary inquiry focused program is designed for engaged collaborative discovery-science for mentors and mentees to gain deep understandings of cellular signaling in a diverse comprehensive environment.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.
