DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this project is to promote the development of key professional skills among minority graduate and postdoctoral students in biomedicine by creating effective live, online, and CD-ROM short courses. Specifically, the project will develop and disseminate two proven live, web, and CD-ROM short courses that focus on two critical skills areas: writing and reviewing for journals and making oral and poster presentations. Each course will include a strong focus on the interaction of racial/ethnic background and culture with the development of these skills. Minority students who complete the course(s) will: - Improve their performance in specific professional skills areas; - Increase their understanding of how these skills can impact career opportunities and advancement in biomedicine; - Increase their understanding of how diversity issues, especially cultural influences and background experiences, can interact with the development of professional skills targeted by the course; and - Increase their knowledge of resources and materials that can further assist in their development of these key professional skills. Advisors and mentors also will benefit from these tools since they will address important cultural issues and provide resources and strategies for integrating cultural aspects with professional skills training. Products from the project will include: - print materials to allow easy replication of the live course; - CD-ROMs that can be used to take each course individually or as a seminar group; and - Online interactive web courses that can be accessed at any time by individuals or groups or as part of a regularly offered web course, led by experienced biomedical researchers and mentors. An Advisory Board will guide the project activities and an evaluation component will document progress on the project activities, dissemination of the courses, and impacts on participants.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该项目的总体目标是通过创建有效的现场、在线和光盘短期课程，促进少数民族生物医学研究生和博士后学生关键专业技能的发展。具体而言，该项目将开发和传播两个经过验证的现场、网络和CD-ROM短期课程，重点是两个关键技能领域：为期刊撰写和评论以及进行口头和海报演示。每门课程都将重点关注种族/民族背景和文化与这些技能发展的相互作用。完成课程的少数民族学生将： - 提高他们在特定专业技能领域的业绩; - 增加他们对这些技能如何影响职业机会和生物医学进步的理解; - 增加他们对多样性问题，特别是文化影响和背景经验如何与课程所针对的专业技能的发展相互作用的理解; - 增加他们对资源和材料的了解，以进一步帮助他们发展这些关键的专业技能。顾问和导师也将受益于这些工具，因为它们将解决重要的文化问题，并为将文化方面与专业技能培训相结合提供资源和战略。该项目的产品将包括： - 打印材料，以方便复制现场课程; - 可用于单独或作为研讨会小组参加每门课程的CD-ROM;以及 - 在线交互式网络课程，可供个人或团体随时访问，或作为定期提供的网络课程的一部分，由经验丰富的生物医学研究人员和导师领导。一个咨询委员会将指导项目活动，一个评价部分将记录项目活动的进展、课程的传播和对参与者的影响。
