DESCRIPTION: The Leadership Alliance is requesting support for a satellite meeting (symposium) to be held each year for five years in conjunction with the annual meeting of a major scientific professional group. The Leadership Alliance, administered from Brown University, consists of a group of thirteen East coast research and teaching universities and ten historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) working together to "improve the environment for underrepresented students and faculty at various states of the educational pipeline." The Alliance was founded in 1992 and is based on an "undergraduate-to-graduate program model" with a primary focus on "the concept of effective mentoring." The Alliance engages in a complex set of initiatives directed at underrepresented minority students that include mentorship programs, summer research programs, graduate student opportunity programs, international research programs, symposia for students and faculty, development of a mentoring program by members of the National Academy of Sciences, and the maintenance of site on the World Wide Web. Financial support for various aspects of Alliance programs has been provided by private foundations and businesses, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the participating colleges and universities. The specific aims of the proposal are to: (1) bring young minority scientists together to develop a sense of scientific community, (2) build-long-term scientific relationships, (3) allow students to gain experience in public communication and critique of scientific data, (4) extend mentoring relationships with professional scientific societies, (5) expose students to various financial, professional and employment opportunities, and (6) enable students and faculty to use the Hunter College Web site for mentoring and networking. The program requests support for the participation of 150 Alliance undergraduates and faculty to attend an Alliance satelitte meeting held in conjunction with the annual meetings of three scientific societies: the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) in 1997, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) in 1998, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) in 1999, Experimental Biology in 2000, and the National Research Academy Institute of Medicine in 2001. Each satellite meeting will take place immediately before the professional meeting and will last for two days. Other than a welcoming address and buffet on the first day, formal activities are confined to the second day of the satellite meeting. The second day of the meeting will consist of a series of lectures, several poster sessions, a science reporting forum, and a graduate workshop and recruitment session. Student participants in the satellite meetings will be Alliance summer interns and other minority undergraduates and graduates in the biomedical sciences. To motivate students to participate in the poster sessions cash awards will be given to three undergraduate students and to three graduate students who are judged to have prepared the best poster presentations. Each student will be assigned to a faculty mentor, and each mentor will be paired with one or two students. Eight undergraduate students, selected on the basis of a writing competition prior to the satellite meeting, will participate in a science writers workshop, and each student participant will receive an award of a laptop computer. The science writers will be supervised by three science reporting forum coordinators and will be required to prepare a "news summary" that will be circulated to all participants, distributed to selected news bureaus, magazines, and newspapers, and placed on the Hunter College Web page. A comprehensive student assessment will be an integral component of the Alliance symposia. To ensure a high rate of response, all student participants will be asked to complete a student program evaluation at the end of their final workshops.

领导联盟正在请求对卫星的支持 会议（专题讨论会），每年举行，为期五年， 一个主要科学专业团体的年度会议。 领导 联盟由布朗大学管理，由一组 13所东海岸研究型和教学型大学，10所历史上 黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）共同努力，以“改善 环境代表性不足的学生和教师在各州的 教育管道。“该联盟成立于1992年， 一个“本科到研究生课程模式”，主要侧重于“的 有效指导的概念。“联盟参与了一系列复杂的 针对代表性不足的少数民族学生的举措，包括 导师计划，夏季研究计划，研究生机会 项目，国际研究项目，学生研讨会， 教师，由国家成员的指导计划的发展 科学院，并在万维网上的网站的维护。 为联盟方案的各个方面提供了财政支助 由私人基金会和企业，霍华德休斯医学研究所， 美国国家科学基金会、美国国立卫生研究院和 参与的高校。 该提案的具体目标是：（1）使年轻的少数民族 科学家共同发展科学共同体意识，（2） 建立长期的科学关系，（3）让学生获得 有公共交流和科学数据评论的经验，（4） 扩大与专业科学协会的指导关系，（5） 让学生接触各种金融，专业和就业 机会，（6）使学生和教师能够使用亨特学院 指导和建立网络的网站。 该计划要求支持 150名联盟本科生和教师参加了一个 与联合国年度会议同时举行的联盟卫星会议 三个科学协会：美国细胞生物学协会（ASCB）， 1997年，美国生物化学和分子生物学学会（ASBMB）在 1998年，美国癌症研究协会（AACR）在1999年， 实验生物学在2000年，和国家研究院研究所 2001年的医学 每次卫星会议将在 这次专业会议将持续两天。 除了欢迎 在第一天的演讲和自助餐，正式活动仅限于 卫星会议的第二天。 会议第二天将 包括一系列的讲座，几个海报会议，一个科学 报告论坛、毕业生讲习班和招聘会。 参加卫星会议的学生将在联盟夏季 生物医学领域的实习生和其他少数族裔本科生和毕业生 以理工科为重 鼓励学生参与海报展示活动 奖项将颁发给三名本科生和三名研究生 被评为准备了最佳海报展示的学生。 每个学生将被分配到一个教师导师，每个导师将 和一两个学生一起。 八名本科生， 在卫星会议之前的写作比赛的基础上， 参加科学作家研讨会，每个学生参与者将 获得笔记本电脑奖。 科学作家们将 由三名科学报告论坛协调员监督， 要求准备一份“新闻摘要”， 与会者，分发给选定的新闻局，杂志， 报纸，并放置在亨特学院的网页上。 全面 学生评估将是联盟专题讨论会的一个组成部分。 为确保有较高的回应率，所有学生参与者将被要求 在最后的研讨会结束时完成学生项目评估。
