Research Leadership Development Program for Diverse Early Career Scientists

项目摘要 针对不同早期职业科学家的研究领导力发展计划 这个拟议的项目是一个证据知情的指导和领导力发展计划的早期职业生涯 社会和行为科学家，他们来自代表性不足的种族和民族， 与NIDDK使命有关的研究，但尚未收到R 01资金，也没有上升到 在各自学科或专业协会中担任领导职务。三组10名博士后 将在五年内征聘任职人数不足的群体中的学者参加。每个 学员将参加为期两年的导师计划，并将与志愿者导师谁是匹配 在糖尿病和其他内分泌和代谢疾病领域的领先研究，在 学员感兴趣的领域，并有接受联邦资助的记录。除了一对一 将利用辅导和其他培训机制协助学员的职业发展。这些 机制将包括：1）在线小组培训课程，重点是与获得 相关的领导技能，并在糖尿病，内分泌或 其他代谢性疾病。补助金写作主题将被排序，以便学员收到关键的 关于在制定自己的提案过程中的关键时刻制定赠款提案的信息， 2）增加面对面的会议和培训。这些面对面的培训将包括赠款写作“靴子 夏令营”旨在提供写作技巧，对申请的直接/具体反馈，并提供机会， 学生用专门的写作时间来完善他们的应用程序，以及“模拟评论”，在此期间， 申请将由一个专家评审小组进行评审和评分。评审员将提供书面反馈 重点放在改进建议上。然后，学员将修改他们的建议， 在向确定的供资机构提交最终提案之前，对模拟审查反馈作出回应。的 该计划将帮助学员1）制定和实施职业发展计划，重点是建立 进行独立研究的能力，2）概念化，起草，并提交高质量的研究 向适当的联邦资助机构（特别是NIDDK和其他NIH机构）申请，或 国家基础，3）获得必要的相关领导技能，成为竞争力的领导 在NIDDK感兴趣的学术生涯中的职位;以及，4）建立一个专业同事网络， 类似的研究兴趣和高级研究人员谁担任领导职务， 各种学术环境。

PROJECT SUMMARY Research Leadership Development Program for Diverse Early Career Scientists This proposed project is an evidence-informed mentoring and leadership development program for early career social and behavioral scientist from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations who show promise in research related to the NIDDK mission but who have not yet received R01 funding and have not ascended to a leadership position in their respective disciplines or professional associations. Three cohorts of 10 postdoctoral scholars from underrepresented populations will be recruited to participate over the course of five years. Each mentee will participate in a two-year mentorship program and will be matched with volunteer mentors who are leading researches in the area of diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases, have expertise in the mentees area of interest, and who have a track record of receiving federal funding. In addition to one-on-one mentoring additional training mechanisms will be used to assist mentees in their career development. These mechanisms will include: 1) online group training sessions focused on critical topics associated with obtaining relevant leadership skills and developing a successful research proposal in the area of diabetes, endocrine or other metabolic diseases. The grant writing topics will be sequenced so that mentees receive critical information about developing grant proposals at key times in the process of developing their own proposals, and 2) additional face-to-face meetings and trainings. These in-person trainings will include grant writing “Boot Camps” intended to provide writing tips, direct/specific feedback on applications and an opportunity for protégés to refine their applications with dedicated writing time, and “Mock Reviews” during which mentee applications will be reviewed and scored by a review panel of experts. Reviewers will provide written feedback with emphasis placed on recommendations for improvement. Mentees will then revise their proposals in response to the mock review feedback before submitting a final proposal to the identified funding agency. The program will help mentees to 1) develop and implement a career development plan focused on building the capacity to conduct independent research, 2) conceptualize, draft, and submit a high-quality research application to an appropriate federal funding mechanism (particularly NIDDK and other NIH agencies) or national foundation, 3) obtain the relevant leadership skills necessary to become competitive for leadership positions in academic careers of interest to NIDDK; and, 4) establish a network of professional colleagues with similar research interests and a concomitant network of senior researchers who hold leadership positions in various academic settings.
