Diversity Resources for Enrichment, Access & Mentoring

该提案的目的是为FASEB的“丰富、获取和指导多样性资源”（DREAM）项目获得持续支持。该提案的总体最终目标是通过为URM学生、博士后和教师提供资源、项目和机会，帮助他们成为有竞争力和富有成效的科学家，并获得和参与尖端的生物医学和行为研究，帮助增加训练有素的未被充分代表的少数民族（URM）科学家的数量。当前的目标是继续和扩大FASEB在1981年实施的DREAM活动，通过NIGMS/NIH的支持，作为MARC计划的一部分。FASEB建议在未来五年内开展四项主要创新活动：1)通过为URM教师、博士后、研究生和少数民族机构的教师赞助关于资助和出版物的培训研讨会，为研究事业中专业成功的主要决定因素提供关键培训。研讨会项目将侧重于资助和手稿写作技巧的发展，这对于将想法和研究发展为成功的资助申请和出版物至关重要。2)通过向少数院校的学生、博士后和教师，以及URM学生、博士后和教师提供旅行奖励，增加URM学生、博士后和教师通过参加生物医学科学会议获得科学话语的主要途径。3)通过提供旅行奖励，为乌拉尔大学研究生、博士后和教师提供参加小型专业夏季研究会议的机会，帮助乌拉尔大学参与会议。4)通过支持FASEB协会的多元化项目活动，为FASEB协会成员增加交流、演讲和合作研究的机会，帮助促进URM学生、博士后和科学家进入基础科学界的主流。

The objective of this proposal is to obtain continued support for FASEB's "Diversity Resources for Enrichment, Access & Mentoring" (DREAM) program. The overarching ultimate goal of this proposal is to assist in increasing the number of well-trained underrepresented minority (URM) scientists in the biomedical and behavioral disciplines by providing URM students, post doctorates and faculty with resources, programs and opportunities to help prepare them to become competitive and productive scientists, and to gain access to and participate in cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research. The immediate objective is to continue and expand FASEB's DREAM activities implemented in 1981 through the support of NIGMS/NIH, as part of the MARC program. FASEB proposes four (4) major innovative activities for the next five (5) years: 1) To provide critical training in the major determinants of professional success in research careers, funding and publishing by sponsoring training seminars on grantsmanship and publications for URM faculty, post- doctorates, graduate students and faculty at minority institutions. The seminar programs will focus on the development of grantsmanship and manuscript writing skills and techniques that are essential to develop ideas and research into successful grant applications and publications. 2) To enhance access for URM students, post doctorates and faculty to the major avenues for scientific discourse through the attendance of biomedical scientific meetings by providing travel awards for students, post doctorates and faculty at minority institutions, and URM students, post doctorates and faculty majority institutions. 3) To provide opportunities for URM graduate students, post doctorates and faculty for engagement at small professional summer research conferences by providing travel awards to help support URM participation in the conferences. 4) To help promote the entry of URM students, post doctorates and scientists into the mainstream of the basic sciences community by providing support for FASEB Societies' diversity program activities designed to in-crease networking, presentation and collaborative research opportunities for URM FASEB Society members.
