DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): An engaged diverse biomedical workforce is essential for the health of the nation. The nation faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities to develop new knowledge that can decrease healthcare disparities and improve the health of individuals. The US is not currently benefitting from the talents of all citizens. Women, under-represented minority (URM) populations, those with disabilities, those who identify as lesbian, gay, or transgender (LGBT), and those from backgrounds disadvantaged by socio-economic status, cultural or language barriers, or rural geography are all under-represented in the biomedical workforce. The talents and skills of these individuals could advance scientific disciplines allowing the nation to achieve our goals related to better health. It is in the compelling interest of the nation to nurture the talents of those currently under-represented in the biomedical workforce. Mentoring has been identified as critical in the recruitment and retention of under-represented populations in the biomedical workforce. Developing an effective national research mentoring network (NRMN) is an innovative approach to increase inclusion and diversity in biomedical research. This proposal reflects collaboration of 40 of the 60 academic health centers in the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) consortium and also includes multiple partner organizations that represent constituencies often not fully included in the biomedical workforce. In order to achieve a national impact, we will leverage the CTSA consortium institutions through collaboration with national stakeholders including the CTSA Child Health Oversight Committees (CC-CHOC), the Association of Clinical and Translational Science (ACTS), the Research Partnership on Women in Science Careers (RPWSC), the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA), and the Society of Healthcare Professionals with Disabilities (SHPD). The Specific Aims of this proposal are: 1) Develop a partnership between the CTSA institutions and other stakeholder institutions that will support the organization and governance of a NRMN; 2) Assess, categorize, and create an inventory of the existing capacity and resources at all partner institutions to recruit and mentor under-represented populations from undergraduates through junior faculty; 3) Develop strategies to adopt and disseminate existing, successful local and small-scale activities and programs for the nation; 4) Conduct a gap analysis and develop new mentorship activities, courses, infrastructure, and tools that can fill the gaps identified and support the new NRMN; and 5) Design and create the tools to evaluate and track the outcomes of the NRMN.

描述（由申请人提供）：敬业的多元化生物医学劳动力对于国家的健康至关重要。该国面临着前所未有的挑战和机遇，需要开发新知识，以减少医疗保健差距并改善个人健康。美国目前并未受益于所有公民的才能。妇女、代表性不足的少数群体 (URM)、残疾人、女同性恋、男同性恋或跨性别者 (LGBT) 以及因社会经济地位、文化或语言障碍或农村地理而处于不利背景的人在生物医学劳动力中的代表性都不足。这些人的才能和技能可以推动科学学科的发展，使国家能够实现与改善健康相关的目标。培养目前在生物医学劳动力中代表性不足的人才符合国家的迫切利益。指导已被认为对于生物医学劳动力中代表性不足的人群的招聘和留住至关重要。建立有效的国家研究指导网络（NRMN）是提高生物医学研究包容性和多样性的创新方法。该提案反映了 NIH 临床和转化科学奖 (CTSA) 联盟中 60 个学术健康中心中 40 个的合作，还包括代表通常未完全纳入生物医学劳动力的选区的多个合作伙伴组织。为了实现全国性影响，我们将通过与国家利益相关者合作，利用 CTSA 联盟机构的力量，包括 CTSA 儿童健康监督委员会 (CC-CHOC)、临床与转化科学协会 (ACTS)、女性科学职业研究伙伴关系 (RPWSC)、男女同性恋医学协会 (GLMA) 和残疾医疗保健专业人员协会 (SHPD)。该提案的具体目标是： 1) 在 CTSA 机构和其他利益相关机构之间建立伙伴关系，以支持 NRMN 的组织和治理； 2) 对所有合作机构的现有能力和资源进行评估、分类和创建清单，以招募和指导从本科生到初级教师的代表性不足的人群； 3) 制定战略以采用和传播现有的、成功的地方和小规模的国家活动和计划； 4) 进行差距分析并开发新的指导活动、课程、基础设施和工具，以填补已发现的差距并支持新的 NRMN； 5) 设计和创建工具来评估和跟踪 NRMN 的结果。
