CCNY G-RISE Mentor Training Supplement

在由家长资助的G-Rise项目中，由22名教职员工组成的小组 纽约城市学院(CCNY)提供协调、创新和严谨的博士学位。 生物化学、生物物理学、生物有机化学、(生物医学和化学)工程、 和神经科学，每年向14名代表不足(UR)的博士生提供培训，为期五年。我们的 使命是专注于代表不足的博士的研究和专业技能发展。 在服务不足的社区中心的一所大型公立大学接受培训，同时还提供 对我们更广泛的STEM学科的受训者和导师产生有益的影响。 我们的目标之一是提供支持性和包容性的培训环境 招聘和留住有才华的少数民族博士生。在第一年，CCNY使用了基于证据的 在改进中心主持下的导师培训课程和促进者 研究中的指导经验(CIMER)。这项计划侧重于导师-受训者 沟通，使期望与指导契约保持一致，解决公平和包容性问题， 促进专业发展。尽管取得了成功，但评估显示有必要 针对我们为少数群体服务的机构环境，调整计划的覆盖范围、内容和交付。 因此，拟议的补充资金将满足几个具体需要：(1) 提供导师培训计划，服务于更广泛的CCNY教师和博士群体。 指导以URM为重点的多层次研究培训的学生导师；(2)改善 CIMER计划讨论期间的逻辑流程和参与者互动；(3)解决 辅导对象在人口统计、生活方式和职业目标上的差异；(4)正式跟踪- 加强导师-学员契约、个人发展计划(IDP)和学员的发展- 设计职业之路活动；(5)为导师建立感谢活动 强调与这些活动相关的成就和挑战。 对拟议的导师培训计划的评估将在 并在六个月后进行随访。项目成果的传播将包括内部 在NIH赞助的培训和员工队伍中进行电子分享和外部演示 发展会议。机构可持续发展计划已与CCNY正式确定 负责研究的临时助理教务长。总体而言，请求的增刊将利用G-Rise 通过父母赠款提供资金，通过发展强大的指导基础设施和文化来 是为我们城市少数民族服务机构的教职员工和学生量身定做的。

In the G-RISE project supported by the parent grant, a group of 22 faculty members at The City College of New York (CCNY) are offering coordinated, innovative, and rigorous Ph.D. training in biochemistry, biophysics, bioorganic chemistry, (biomedical and chemical) engineering, and neuroscience to 14 underrepresented (UR) Ph.D. trainees each year for five years. Our mission is to focus on research and professional skills development of underrepresented Ph.D. trainees at a large public university in the heart of an underserved community, while also providing beneficial impact for our broader population of trainees and mentors in STEM disciplines. Among our objectives is the provision of a supportive and inclusive training environment to recruit and retain talented minority Ph.D. trainees. In Year 1, CCNY used an evidence-based mentor training curriculum and facilitator under the aegis of the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER). This program focused on mentor-mentee communication, aligning expectations with mentoring compacts, addressing equity and inclusion, and promoting professional development. Despite its success, assessment revealed the need to tailor the program’s reach, content, and delivery to our minority-serving institutional environment. Thus, the proposed supplemental funding will address several specific needs: (1) to provide mentor training programs that serve a broader group of CCNY both faculty and Ph.D. student mentors who supervise multi-level URM-focused research training; (2) to improve the logical flow and participant interactions in the CIMER program’s discussion periods; (3) to address mentor-mentee differences in demographics, lifestyles, and career goals; (4) to formalize follow- up development of Mentor-Mentee Compacts, Individual Development Plans (IDPs), and mentee- designed Path-to-Professions activities; (5) to establish appreciation events for mentors to highlight the achievements and challenges associated with these activities. Assessment of the proposed mentor training programs will be conducted directly after the sessions and followed up after six months. Dissemination of the project results will include internal electronic sharing and external presentations at NIH-sponsored Training and Workforce Development meetings. Institutional sustainability plans have been formalized with CCNY’s Interim Associate Provost for Research. Overall, the requested Supplement will leverage G-RISE funding through the parent grant by developing a robust mentoring infrastructure and culture that is tailored to the faculty and students at our urban minority-serving institution.
