DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ultimate goal of this proposal is to increase the number of well-trained minority scientists in the biomedical and behavioral disciplines by providing minority institutions, faculty, and students with opportunities to be exposed to and participate in the cutting edge of biomedical and behavioral research. The immediate objective is to continue the Federation's Minority Scientist Development Program activities implemented beginning in 1997 through the support of NIGMS, NIH, as part of the MARC program. Participation in research and higher education in the life sciences by qualified minority investigators is necessary to continued leadership of this country in biological and biomedical research. The Federation proposes four (4) major activities for the next five (5) years: (1) Continue to develop and maintain the FASEB MARC InfoNet web site as a resource tool providing access to information about related programs and activities of FASEB and the FASEB member societies. The site also includes access and links to other resources and opportunities available for minority scientists, students, and minority-serving institutions. (2) Continue to sponsor two (2) grantsmanship training programs that will be held during the summer months for minority scientists, faculty, junior faculty and postdoctoral fellows. The programs will include seminars to assist minority scientists in their understanding of how the Federal systems of biomedical research works, and will focus on the development of grantsmanship skills and techniques that are necessary to develop ideas and research into successful grant applications. An annual follow-up will be conducted to monitor the grant funding experiences of the seminar participants. (3) Continue to provide scholarships for minority undergraduate/graduate students and students at minority institutions to support their participation in summer research opportunity programs at major research institutions, universities, and laboratories. An annual follow-up will be conducted to monitor the academic/career paths of the summer research programs participants. (4) Continue to develop and sponsor career seminars, workshops, and programs of special interests for minority scientists, undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows at FASEB member societies national meetings.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的最终目标是通过为少数民族机构，教师和学生提供接触和参与生物医学和行为研究前沿的机会，增加生物医学和行为学科训练有素的少数民族科学家的数量。 目前的目标是继续开展联合会的少数民族科学家发展方案活动，这些活动是作为MARC方案的一部分，在NIGMS、NIH的支持下于1997年开始实施的。 合格的少数民族研究人员参与生命科学的研究和高等教育，对于继续领导我国的生物和生物医学研究是必要的。 联合会建议在今后五年开展四（4）项主要活动：（1）继续开发和维护FASEB MARC信息网网站，作为一种资源工具，提供有关FASEB和FASEB成员学会相关方案和活动的信息。 该网站还包括少数民族科学家、学生和少数民族服务机构可获得的其他资源和机会的访问和链接。 (2)继续赞助两个（2）granitarian培训计划，将在夏季举行的少数民族科学家，教师，初级教师和博士后研究员。 这些方案将包括举办研讨会，帮助少数民族科学家了解联邦生物医学研究系统是如何运作的，并将侧重于培养成功申请资助所需的科学家技能和技术。 将每年进行一次后续活动，以监测研讨会参与者的赠款供资经验。 (3)继续为少数民族本科生/研究生和少数民族机构的学生提供奖学金，以支持他们参加主要研究机构、大学和实验室的夏季研究机会方案。将进行年度后续行动，以监测夏季研究计划参与者的学术/职业道路。 (4)继续发展和赞助职业研讨会，讲习班，并为少数民族科学家，本科生和研究生，博士后研究员在FASEB成员社会国家会议的特殊利益的方案。
