PROJECT SUMMARY – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE The University of New Mexico (UNM) is the flagship and largest university in New Mexico, which is one of four majority-minority states. It is also one of the poorest and most under-resourced states in the nation. New Mexico has a large Hispanic (49.3%) and American Indian (11%) population. UNM is a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a Carnegie Very High Research Activity University with over 16,000 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate students. The ethnic/racial diversity of the student population closely reflects that of the state, and women make up 57.4% of undergraduate and graduate enrollments. UNM has an extraordinary group of NIH- funded researchers who are internationally renowned for research in neuroscience and data science, each with great potential to train and elevate the next generation of diverse scientists. Diversifying the biomedical faculty at UNM will align with NIH’s goal of diversifying the biomedical workforce at all levels in order to accomplish its mission of discovery and innovation toward improving human health. Furthermore, it will catalyze inclusive excellence, and provide role models for female and URM trainees and a relatable path toward career advancement in STEM. Cluster hiring of faculty, which will be new for UNM, appears to be an effective way to build a faculty cohort and diversify the professoriate. Thus, the UNM FIRST program will implement a cluster design model of faculty hiring, mentoring, and professional development that is embedded within UNM’s ongoing commitment to inclusive excellence. Recruitment and hiring strategies designed to promote diversity and reduce discrimination will be used. Hiring will occur across six departments. Our long-term goal is to employ a cluster/cohort hiring model that increases the diversity of biomedical faculty at UNM, which in turn will significantly increase our percentage of URM faculty who are Principal Investigators with NIH funding. The central hypothesis is that the UNM FIRST program will successfully hire, promote, and retain a diverse faculty cohort, and the policies/practices resulting from this program, such as the creation of the Institutional Innovation Implementation Board, will be adopted by UNM and ultimately make significant improvements in inclusive excellence. The Specific Aims of the UNM FIRST Administrative Core are: to lead the process of recruiting and hiring the diverse UNM FIRST faculty cohort in the neuroscience and data science areas (AIM 1), to distribute start-up research funding and provide administrative support to the UNM FIRST faculty cohort to facilitate success in obtaining NIH funding (AIM 2), and to provide ongoing support for UNM faculty, department chairs, and UNM leadership to implement new innovative campus-wide policies and processes to increase hiring, promotion, and retention of female and diverse faculty and otherwise lead to a more inclusive institutional culture (AIM 3). The proposed work is highly significant, given the focus on using evidence-based approaches to increase diversity among faculty in the areas of neuroscience and data science.

项目摘要——行政核心 新墨西哥大学 (UNM) 是新墨西哥州的旗舰大学和最大的大学，是新墨西哥州四所大学之一 多数-少数国家。它也是全国最贫穷和资源最匮乏的州之一。新的 墨西哥有大量西班牙裔（49.3%）和美洲印第安人（11%）人口。 UNM 是一家西班牙裔服务机构 机构和卡内基极高研究活动大学，拥有超过 16,000 名本科生和 6,000 名学生 研究生。学生群体的民族/种族多样性密切反映了国家的多样性，并且 女性占本科生和研究生入学人数的 57.4%。新墨西哥州 (UNM) 拥有一支出色的 NIH 团队—— 资助的研究人员在神经科学和数据科学研究方面享有国际声誉，每位研究人员都拥有 培养和提升下一代多元化科学家的巨大潜力。生物医学师资队伍多元化 新墨西哥大学将与 NIH 的目标保持一致，即使各级生物医学劳动力多样化，以实现其目标 以改善人类健康为目标的发现和创新使命。此外，它将促进包容性 卓越，并为女性和 URM 学员提供榜样和相关的职业道路 STEM 的进步。对新墨西哥大学来说，集群招聘教师似乎是一种有效的方法 建立师资队伍并实现教授队伍的多元化。因此，UNM FIRST 计划将实施集群 嵌入新墨西哥大学的教师招聘、指导和专业发展的设计模型 持续致力于包容性卓越。旨在促进多元化的招聘和聘用策略 并减少使用歧视。招聘将在六个部门进行。我们的长期目标是 采用集群/队列招聘模式，增加新墨西哥大学生物医学教师的多样性，这反过来又将 显着提高 URM 教职人员中获得 NIH 资助的首席研究员的比例。这 中心假设是 UNM FIRST 项目将成功聘用、晋升和留住多元化的教师 队列，以及该计划产生的政策/实践，例如建立机构 创新实施委员会将被新墨西哥大学采用，并最终在以下方面做出重大改进： 包容性卓越。 UNM FIRST 行政核心的具体目标是： 招募和聘用神经科学和数据科学领域多元化的 UNM FIRST 教员队伍 (AIM 1), 分配启动研究资金并为 UNM FIRST 教师群体提供行政支持 促进成功获得 NIH 资助 (AIM 2)，并为新墨西哥大学教员提供持续支持， 系主任和新墨西哥大学领导层实施新的创新校园政策和流程， 增加女性和多元化教师的聘用、晋升和保留，从而实现更具包容性 制度文化（AIM 3）。鉴于重点是使用基于证据的技术，拟议的工作非常重要 增加神经科学和数据科学领域教师多样性的方法。
