DIVERSITY RESOURCES FOR ENRICHMENT, ACCESS & MENTORING

描述(由申请者提供)：本提案的目标是继续支持FASEB的丰富、获取和指导多样性资源(DREAM)计划(前身为少数民族机构访问科学家计划)。这项提议的最终目标是通过向少数族裔机构、教师、博士后和学生提供资源、项目和机会，获得并参与尖端生物医学和行为研究，增加生物医学和行为学科中训练有素、代表性不足的少数族裔科学家的数量。FASEB建议在未来5年开展4项主要活动，旨在支持和鼓励少数群体进入和参与科学：(1)少数群体机构访问科学家方案，旨在：(A)为教师/博士后/学生提供有效的指导和职业发展培训计划；(B)为教师、研究人员和博士后提供赠款培训研讨会；(C)就课程、设施、教师需求和项目向教师或行政部门提供咨询；以及(D)协助激励奖学金。(2)FASEB学会科学会议、ABRCMS和SACNAS会议的旅行奖项。这项活动提供差旅资金，为代表不足的少数族裔教员/导师、博士后和学生提供机会，参加FASEB社会会议、ABRCMS和SACNAS会议之一。(3)FASEB夏季研究会议的旅行奖项。这项活动提供旅行资金，为代表不足的少数族裔科学家、研究人员、博士后和研究生提供机会，参加由FASB赞助的30-40个夏季研究会议之一。(4)支持FASEB社团的多样性计划倡议。这项活动在FASEB学会会议上为选定的学会成员提供旅行奖励，并在学会赞助的科学会议上为学会发展的少数民族事务活动提供资金支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to obtain continued support for FASEB's Diversity Resources for Enrichment, Access and Mentoring (DREAM) program (formerly the Visiting Scientists for Minority Institutions program). The ultimate goal of this proposal is to increase the number of well-trained underrepresented minority scientists in the biomedical and behavioral disciplines by providing minority institutions, faculty, postdoctorates and students with resources, programs and opportunities to gain access to and participate in cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research. FASEB proposes 4 major activities for the next 5 years that are designed to support and encourage minority access and participation in the sciences: (1) The Visiting Scientists for Minority Institutions program designed to: (a) provide effective mentoring and career development training programs for faculty/postdoctorates/students; (b) provide grantsmanship training seminars for faculty, investigators and postdoctorates; (c) counsel faculty or administration on curricula, facilities, faculty needs, and programs; and (d) assist in motivating scholarship. (2) Travel Awards to FASEB societies' scientific meetings, the ABRCMS and SACNAS meetings. This activity offers travel funding to provide underrepresented minority faculty members/mentors, postdoctorates and students the opportunity to attend and participate in one of several FASEB society meetings, the ABRCMS and the SACNAS meetings. (3) Travel Awards to FASEB Summer Research Conferences. This activity offers travel funding to provide underrepresented minority scientists, investigators, postdoctorates and graduate students the opportunity to attend and participate in one of 30-40 summer research conferences sponsored by FASEB. (4) Support for FASEB Societies' Diversity Programs Initiatives. This activity provides travel awards for selected society members at the FASEB society meetings, and funding support for society-developed minority affairs activities at the society-sponsored scientific meetings.
