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.

美国是科学研究和培训的领导者，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。在一个代表性不足的少数民族占人口约30%的国家，每年在生命科学领域产生的博士学位总数并反映在STEM学科中仍然低于10%，这在该国主要研究中心的教师和培训人口中甚至更少。美国细胞生物学学会少数群体事务委员会多年来在扩大科学研究参与方面发挥了国家领导作用。我们寻求通过一系列创新活动来继续这项工作，这些活动由两个总体目标驱动：1。增加代表性不足的少数群体在美国细胞生物学学会学术活动中的参与。2.为管道中的各级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，在海洋生物实验室和冷泉港实验室的短期课程），旅行奖ASCB年会，并通过专业水平影响本科生的辅导计划。这些目标将通过受益于过去几年非常严格的评价工作的活动来实现，这些活动已证明是有效的。其中一些活动是为了满足巨大的需求而增加的，这反映在参与和兴趣上。第二，我们增加了一些活动，如反映社区需求的指导计划。与一般的努力一致，我们寻求增加在科学事业中代表性不足的少数民族的数量，但是，我们在这方面已经开发了两个主要焦点。首先，我们寻求积极发展教师和学生在少数民族服务机构的URM教师和学生人口往往集中。第二，我们开展了一些活动，扩大URM科学家在我们最具竞争力的研究机构接受培训和追求其专业目标的机会。我们的成就记录，我们的计划和勤奋的评估工作的创新水平将最大限度地提高我们的计划和活动的影响，使科学劳动力更好地反映一般人群。这将扩大获得教育、培训和科研职业就业的机会，预计到2042年，人口中的一部分人将占大多数。 相关性：该计划旨在提高代表性不足的少数民族参与研究事业的水平。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，而科学政策和资源分配又直接影响健康差距和培训。
