DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Substantial evidence exists for the underrepresentation of minorities in all levels of the biomedical workforce, from the undergraduate level to the professoriate. The fact that our country's changing demographics will result soon in a college-age population that is majority underrepresented minority (URM) and women makes it imperative that new interventions take place to keep America competitive in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We have created a Consortium of 25 mainstream biomedical scientific societies, minority science organizations, university STEM minority programs, and non-profits with four BUILD planning grant applicants to develop a planning grant for a National Research Mentoring Network. Most of these partners have a long history of interacting making the development of such a large network feasible. These Consortium members each have a strong documented record of developing mentoring programs for URMs and other underrepresented groups including women in the sciences, the disabled and gay, lesbian and transgender (LGBTQ) scientists. We are proposing to work together to develop a national mentoring network. These discipline-specific scientific societies have various minority affairs committees to conceptualize and implement their diversity efforts. These have clearly had positive impacts on the inclusion of African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, the disabled, and LGBTQ students (all here defined as URMs) in their own sub-fields of biomedical research. The Consortium also brings in expertise in social sciences, computer sciences, communications, e-mentoring, web based science video networks and databases - and ongoing evaluation - to ensure that we identify technology and approaches that are data-based or can be evaluated and will be adaptable to all of our communities. During the planning grant the Consortium will work to fully develop partnerships, assess mentoring capabilities and best practices, identify novel and innovative mentoring models, and develop strategies to scale local activities to the national level.

描述（由申请人提供）：大量证据表明，从本科到教授，少数民族在各级生物医学劳动力中的代表性不足。事实上，我们国家不断变化的人口结构将很快导致大学年龄人口占多数，少数民族（URM）和妇女的代表性不足，这使得必须采取新的干预措施，以保持美国在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）方面的竞争力。我们已经创建了一个由25个主流生物医学科学协会，少数民族科学组织，大学STEM少数民族计划和非营利组织组成的联盟，其中有四个BUILD规划拨款申请人，为国家研究指导网络开发规划拨款。这些合作伙伴中的大多数都有着长期的互动历史，使得开发这样一个大型网络变得可行。这些联盟成员都有为URM和其他代表性不足的群体（包括科学界的妇女，残疾人和男女同性恋和变性人（LGBTQ）科学家）制定指导计划的强大记录。我们提议共同努力建立一个全国辅导网络。这些专门学科的科学学会设有各种少数群体事务委员会，以构想和实施其多样性工作。这些显然对非裔美国人，西班牙裔，美洲印第安人，残疾人和LGBTQ学生（在这里都被定义为URM）在自己的生物医学研究子领域的包容产生了积极的影响。该联盟还带来了社会科学，计算机科学，通信，电子辅导，基于网络的科学视频网络和数据库的专业知识-以及正在进行的评估-以确保我们确定基于数据或可以评估的技术和方法，并将适应我们所有的社区。在规划赠款期间，联合会将努力全面发展伙伴关系，评估辅导能力和最佳做法，确定新颖和创新的辅导模式，并制定战略，将当地活动扩大到国家一级。
