ASCB's MOSAIC Program (AMP)

项目摘要/摘要 女性、残疾人或某些少数族裔的科学家在终身教职中的代表性仍然不足-- 追踪美国研究型大学的教职员工。扩大来自这些代表性不足的研究人员的参与 小组(URGs)是一个优先事项，因为它将增强科学创新和生产力，改善未来学员的 学习环境，提高美国生物医药企业的国际竞争力。近期 研究表明，从博士后到教师的转变是科学家从URGs开始的一个主要消耗点 通向终身教职的道路。因此，需要新的干预措施来支持来自URGs的研究人员寻求 并开始在研究密集型大学担任终身教职。 美国细胞生物学学会(ASCB)很好地满足了这一需求。ASCB有一个 成功的，数十年来促进科学家研究和专业发展的历史 在职业生涯的所有阶段都有URGs。基于这一深厚的经验和ASCB成员的丰富资源，我们 提出ASCB马赛克计划(AMP)，以提高来自URGs的学者在终身教职轨道上的成功 教职员工职位。AMP采用社会影响力三方整合模式，建立了框架 假设受训者的科学效能感、科学认同感和价值观一致性有助于他们的 STEM领域的持久性。AMP将提供基于证据的、经过严格评估的技能的组合 发展研讨会、导师培训和机构文化变革倡议，以增强AMP学者的 科学功效、认同感和价值观的一致性。我们将通过三个具体目标实现这一目标： 具体目标1：为AMP学者提供技能发展。我们将创建一个基于队列的 专业技能发展计划，建立在AMP学者的优势基础上，以增强他们的 在终身教职、研究密集型教师职位上的准备、招聘、保留和成功。 具体目标2：培训AMP项目导师。我们将为AMP创建基于队列的培训计划 学者博士后导师，外加额外的、补充的科学和专业发展 导师，在从博士后到教师的整个过渡过程中，这些关系仍在继续。 具体目标3：促进扩大研究参与的机构干预 教职员工。我们将召集院系和大学领导层交流最佳做法，以实现 体制变革，改善其包容的文化，扩大参与、保留和 来自URGs的教职员工的成功。 我们预计，AMP将显著提高我们学者作为终身教职研究人员的成功。我们的 导师培训和体制改革倡议也将使更多的受训者和大学受益 我们的直接参与者，将AMP的影响力扩大到全国。我们期待着成功完成 AMP的毕业典礼将有意义地推动美国学术生物医学劳动力的包容性卓越。

Project Summary/Abstract Scientists who are women, disabled or certain racial minorities remain under-represented among the tenure- track faculty at US research universities. Broadening participation by researchers from these under-represented groups (URGs) is a priority, because it will enhance science innovation and productivity, improve future trainees’ learning environments and enhance the international competitiveness of the US biomedical enterprise. Recent studies have shown that the postdoc-to-faculty transition is a major attrition point for scientists from URGs on the path to tenure. Therefore, new interventions are needed to support researchers from URGs as they seek and commence tenure-track positions at research-intensive universities. The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is well-positioned to address this need. ASCB has a successful, decades-long history of promoting the research and professional development of scientists from URGs at all career stages. Building on this deep experience and the rich resources of ASCB membership, we propose an ASCB MOSAIC Program (AMP) to enhance the success of scholars from URGs in tenure-track faculty positions. AMP adopts the tripartite integration model of social influence, an established framework postulating that trainees’ senses of science efficacy, science identity and alignment of values contribute to their persistence in STEM fields. AMP will provide a combination of evidence-based, rigorously evaluated skills development workshops, mentor training and institutional culture-change initiatives to augment AMP scholars’ science efficacy, identity and values alignment. We will accomplish this goal through three Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1: To provide skills development for AMP scholars. We will create a cohort-based professional skills development program that builds on the strengths of AMP scholars to enhance their preparation, hiring, retention and success in tenure-track, research-intensive faculty positions. Specific Aim 2: To train AMP program mentors. We will create a cohort-based training program for AMP scholars’ postdoctoral supervisors, plus additional, supplemental scientific and professional development mentors, with these relationships continuing across the postdoc-to-faculty transition. Specific Aim 3: To catalyze institutional interventions that broaden participation among research faculty. We will convene departmental and university leadership to exchange best practices for effecting institutional change, improving their cultures of inclusiveness and broadening participation, retention and success among faculty from URGs. We expect that AMP will significantly enhance our scholars’ success as tenure-track research faculty. Our mentor training and institutional change initiatives will also benefit additional trainees and universities, beyond our direct participants, extending AMP’s impact across the nation. We anticipate that the successful completion of AMP will meaningfully advance inclusive excellence across the US academic biomedical workforce.
