 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Substantial evidence exists for the underrepresentation of minorities (individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, people with disabilities, and people from disadvantaged backgrounds) in all levels of the biomedical workforce, from the undergraduate level to the professoriate. Despite several decades of efforts to increase the proportion of minorities in the biomedical workforce in the U.S., certain minorities remain underrepresented. By the time scholars from disadvantaged backgrounds, whether by race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or disability, have both demonstrated that they are curious about science and attained some proficiency at the systematic inquiry essential for a career in academic health sciences, they have overcome many barriers yet still carry the burdens of disadvantage and discrimination. This proposal seeks support to create the National Research Mentoring Network for a Diversity Biomedical Workforce (NRMN). NRMN will support the activities of four Cores: The Professional Development, Mentor Training, Mentorship and Networking Core, and the Administrative Core which will work synergistically to increase the representation and success of URMs in biomedical research. NRMN will work with both BUILD and non-BUILD institutions and will collect data and coordinate with the CEO. The primary objective of the NRMN is to create a sustainable architecture that will support and facilitate harnessing the collective expertise of successful scientists in the interests of accelerating the research career development of these URM scholars.

 描述（由申请人提供）：大量证据表明，少数民族（来自代表性不足的种族和民族群体，残疾人和来自弱势背景的人）在生物医学劳动力的各个层面，从本科到教授。尽管几十年来一直在努力增加少数族裔在美国生物医学劳动力中的比例，某些少数群体的代表性仍然不足。当来自弱势背景的学者，无论是种族，民族，社会经济地位，性取向，还是残疾，都表明他们对科学充满好奇，并在学术健康科学事业所必需的系统调查方面取得了一定的熟练程度时，他们已经克服了许多障碍，但仍然背负着不利和歧视的负担。该提案寻求支持，以创建多样性生物医学劳动力国家研究指导网络（NRMN）。NRMN将支持四个核心的活动：专业发展，导师培训，导师和网络核心，以及行政核心，这些核心将协同工作，以增加URM在生物医学研究中的代表性和成功。NRMN将与BUILD和非BUILD机构合作，收集数据并与CEO协调。NRMN的主要目标是创建一个可持续的架构，支持和促进利用成功科学家的集体专业知识，以加速这些URM学者的研究职业发展。
