DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The United States is a leader in scientific research and training but the workforce, especially at the most competitive levels, remains less diverse than the general population. In a country where underrepresented minorities amount to approximately 30% of the population, the collective number of doctorates being produced annually in the Life Sciences and reflected in the STEM disciplines remain below 10%, This is even less among the faculty and training population at the major research centers in the country. The American Society for Cell Biology Minorities Affairs Committee has for several years provided national leadership in broadening participation in scientific research. We seek to continue this work through a number of innovative activities that are driven by two overarching aims: 1. Increase participation of underrepresented minorities in the scholarly activities of the American Society for Cell Biology. 2. Provide training opportunities for URM scientists at all levels in the pipeline. The activities under these goals include outreach (Linkage Fellows), training and development (Career development workshops, short courses at the Marine Biological Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), travel awards to the ASCB annual meetings, and mentoring programs impacting undergraduate through professional levels. These goals are to be accomplished through activities that have benefited from a very rigorous evaluation effort in past years that have informed their proven effectiveness. Some of these activities have grown in response to tremendous demand as reflected in participation and interest. Second, we have added activities such as a mentoring program that reflect the stated needs of the community. Consistent with general efforts we seek to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in science careers, however, we have developed two major foci in this respect. First, we seek to aggressively develop faculty and students at the minority serving institutions where the URM faculty and student populations tend to concentrate. Second, we have developed activities that will broaden access and opportunities for URM scientists to train and pursue their professional goals at our most competitive research institutions. Our track record of accomplishment, the level of innovation in our programs and diligent evaluation efforts will maximize the impact of our programs and activities in making the scientific workforce better reflect the general population. This will expand access to the education, training and employment in scientific research careers to a segment of the population expected to comprise a majority by the year 2042. RELEVANCE: This program is aimed at increasing the level of participation of underrepresented minorities in research careers. Diversity in these careers, especially in leadership positions has direct relevance to science policy and resource allocation that in turn have direct implications on health disparities and training.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国在科学研究和培训方面处于领先地位，但劳动力，特别是在最具竞争力的水平上，仍然不如一般人口多样化。在一个少数族裔占总人口约 30% 的国家，每年在生命科学领域产生并反映在 STEM 学科中的博士学位总数仍低于 10%，这在该国主要研究中心的教员和培训人口中更少。美国细胞生物学学会少数群体事务委员会多年来一直在扩大科学研究参与方面发挥国家领导作用。我们寻求通过一系列由两个总体目标驱动的创新活动来继续这项工作： 1. 增加代表性不足的少数群体对美国细胞生物学学会学术活动的参与。 2. 为各个级别的 URM 科学家提供培训机会。这些目标下的活动包括外展（联系研究员）、培训和发展（职业发展研讨会、海洋生物实验室和冷泉港实验室的短期课程）、ASCB 年会旅行奖励以及影响本科生到专业水平的指导计划。这些目标将通过过去几年非常严格的评估工作中受益的活动来实现，这些活动已证明其有效性。其中一些活动的发展是为了响应参与和兴趣所反映的巨大需求。其次，我们增加了反映社区既定需求的指导计划等活动。与总体努力一致，我们寻求增加科学职业中代表性不足的少数群体的数量，但是，我们在这方面制定了两个主要重点。首先，我们寻求积极发展少数族裔服务机构的教职员工和学生，这些机构是URM教职员工和学生群体往往集中的地方。其次，我们开展了一系列活动，为 URM 科学家提供更多机会，让他们在我们最具竞争力的研究机构中接受培训并实现他们的职业目标。我们的成就记录、项目的创新水平和勤奋的评估工作将最大限度地发挥我们的项目和活动的影响，使科学队伍更好地反映普通民众的情况。这将使科学研究职业的教育、培训和就业机会扩大到预计到 2042 年将占多数的人口。 相关性：该计划旨在提高代表性不足的少数群体对研究职业的参与程度。这些职业的多样性，特别是领导职位的多样性，与科学政策和资源分配直接相关，进而对健康差异和培训产生直接影响。
