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.

指导下一代多元化的科学劳动力对于加速创新科学和促进积极的国家未来至关重要。纽约的研究网络将学术界、工业界和研究机构的跨学科生物科学与许多创造性思维和才华横溢的员工队伍相结合，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（NY-RaMP）跨学科计划的研究和指导。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应届理科毕业生的职业生涯。NY-RaMP计划将提供跨学科细胞，分子和生物信息学的高影响力研究沉浸和教育，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能够接受积极参与细胞信号研究合作的研究教授的培训。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培训的劳动力。NY-RaMP计划为三个队列的十名应届毕业生提供为期一年的生物学研究经验，主题是跨学科实验，计算和应用生物科学，以研究细胞信号。跨部门的纽约（CUNY）亨特学院教授担任首席研究员（PI），协调员和共同PI，以及导师，与其他纽约州机构的共同指导团队合作。这些跨学科的科学家们一起架起了纽约在奖学金和劳动力发展方面所提供的人和科学的多样性的桥梁。该计划鼓励新兴学者成为生物思想家，并发展成为科学家。NY-RaMP将选定的新兴学者与位于布鲁克林的CUNY冷泉港实验室（CSHL）DNA学习中心联系起来，进行分子生物学和基于基因的定向训练营（除了后续的实地考察），州立大学的纽约（SUNY）的领导和校园，到Skirball科学学习中心（在亨特学院），康奈尔文化谦逊中心，积极纽约生物工业实地考察，并参观纽约地区的学院和大学。这个以跨学科探究为重点的项目旨在让导师和学员在多样化的综合环境中深入了解细胞信号传导。该奖项反映了NSF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。
