项目摘要 营养肥胖研究中心（NORC），由国家糖尿病研究所和 消化和肾脏疾病（NIDDK），寻求发展和确定的障碍和挑战， 来自学术界代表性不足群体的科学家的成功，并确定可行的战略， 克服这些挑战。作为哈佛NORC（NORCH）的多元化总监，法蒂玛科迪博士 斯坦福大学广泛参与了这些努力，指导了NORC范围内的系列研讨会， 这些主题，针对早期职业科学家，科学协会的领导者，资深学者和NIH 领导人的人选信号为了利用系列专题讨论会所获得的知识和形成的势头，目前的目标是 是继续这些努力，建立一个由斯坦福大学博士领导的工作组， 制定具体的建议，通过整个NORC的举措来改善NORC的公平和包容性。 这笔补充资金将用于资助斯坦福大学博士指导工作组以及培训和发展早期职业生涯 学者谁将与她密切合作，制定由该集团开发的NORC范围内的努力，以促进 URiA科学家。通过资助斯坦福大学博士的努力以及她指导早期职业学者的时间， 补充补助金将为学者提供重要的职业发展，并确保NORC的颁布- 广泛的举措，增加我们的研究社区的多样性，并促进进步， 来自URM背景的调查人员。

Project Summary The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORCs), supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), have sought to develop and to identify the barriers and challenges to success of scientists from underrepresented in academia (URiA) groups and to identify actionable strategies to overcome these challenges. As the Diversity Director of the Harvard NORC (NORCH), Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford has been extensively involved in these efforts, directing a NORC-wide symposia series addressing these topics, targeted to early career scientists, leaders of scientific societies, and senior academics and NIH leaders. To build on the knowledge gained and momentum built through the symposia series, the current goal is to continue these efforts by developing a Working Group, directed by Dr. Stanford, that will provide and enact specific recommendations to improve equity and inclusion for the NORCs through NORC-wide initiatives. This supplement will fund Dr. Stanford to direct the Working Group and to train and develop an early career scholar who will work closely with her to enact the NORC-wide efforts developed by the Group to promote URiA scientists. By funding Dr. Stanford’s efforts as well as her time to mentor the early career scholar, this supplemental grant will provide important career development for the scholar and ensure enactment of NORC- wide initiatives that increase the diversity of our research community and promote the advancement of investigators from URM backgrounds.
