EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This proposal responds to a well-documented need to increase the number of successful underrepresented minorities, among African American, Latino and Native American scientists in the biomedical sciences. The plan is to improve an existing web site, the Just Garcia Hill Science Web Site (JGH, www.iustgarciahill.org) to the level of a national web site for underrepresented minority scientists and would-be scientists. This virtual community focuses on the development of minorities in biomedical science research. The site contains mechanisms to facilitate collaboration, networking, communication and mentoring. We shall develop the site collaboratively with national scientific professional societies including Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society (http://www.sigmaxi.org1 and the minority affairs committees of several major scientific professional societies. An important component of this project is to complete an on-line database containing under-represented minority scientists and aspiring scientists. Although the total number of under-represented minority scientists and students is small, developing a comprehensive database is challenging, and it has eluded even government agencies and professional societies to date. Some of the expected outcomes of the proposed site are as follows: a) expansion of the on-line database of underrepresented minority biomedical scientists; b) development of an interactive network for scientists to collaborate, communicate and participate in mentoring activities; c) promotion of conferences and symposia of particular interest to minority scientists; d) publication of biographies of minority scientists who will serve as role models, speakers and consultants; e) promotion of the activities of the minority affairs committees and workshops of several national professional societies, and expansion of access to a wider network of minority scientists; f) posting of job opportunities, summer traineeships and research opportunities for minority scientists; g) extension of the impact of major seminars and workshops in annual symposia and meetings of the professional societies by providing on-line text a:nd video summaries; h) development of on-line mechanisms for polling and discussion among minority scientists; and i) publication of an electronic magazine of interest to minority scientists. We expect measurable increases in these activities and plan frequent evaluation of the efficacy of our strategies during the period of the grant. This coordinated national effort will complement the efforts of individual professional societies to increase the number of successful underreoresented minorities in science research.

超出所提供的空间。这项建议是为了满足一项有充分证据证明的需要，即增加非裔美国人、拉丁美洲人和美洲土著科学家中在生物医学科学领域取得成功的人数。计划是改进现有的网站，Just Garcia Hill科学网站（JGH，www.iustgarciahill.org），使之成为代表性不足的少数民族科学家和未来科学家的国家网站。这个虚拟社区的重点是少数群体在生物医学科学研究方面的发展。该网站包含促进协作、联网、交流和指导的机制。我们将与包括Sigma Xi、科学研究协会（http：//www.sigmaxi.org1）和几个主要科学专业协会的少数民族事务委员会在内的国家科学专业协会合作开发该网站。该项目的一个重要组成部分是完成一个在线数据库，其中载有代表性不足的少数群体科学家和有抱负的科学家。虽然代表性不足的少数群体科学家和学生的总数很少，但开发一个全面的数据库是一项挑战，迄今为止，甚至政府机构和专业协会也没有做到这一点。拟议网站的一些预期成果如下：（a）扩大代表性不足的少数群体生物医学科学家的在线数据库;（B）为科学家开发一个互动网络，以进行合作、交流和参与指导活动;（c）促进少数群体科学家特别感兴趣的会议和专题讨论会;（d）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（e）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（f）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（f）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（g）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（f）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（g）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（f）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（g）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（f）建立一个关于少数群体科学家的在线数据库;（g）建立一个关于少数群体科学家出版少数群体科学家的传记，他们将作为榜样、演讲者和顾问;（e）促进少数民族事务委员会的活动和几个国家专业协会的讲习班，（f）公布少数群体科学家的就业机会、暑期实习和研究机会;（g）通过提供在线文本和录像摘要，扩大专业协会年度专题讨论会和会议中的主要研讨会和讲习班的影响;（h）建立少数群体科学家在线投票和讨论机制;（i）出版少数群体科学家感兴趣的电子杂志。我们预计这些活动将有可衡量的增加，并计划在赠款期间经常评估我们战略的有效性。这一协调一致的国家努力将补充个别专业学会的努力，以增加在科学研究方面成功的受教育不足的少数群体的数量。性能现场=
