Project Summary/Abstract This proposal details the Diverse Neuroscientists: Doctoral Training Series (DeNDriTeS), a new program that will provide mentoring, career planning, and skill training for NYU neuroscience graduate students from diverse backgrounds as they prepare to transition to postdoctoral research positions. Through this new program, we seek to improve the placement of program participants in postdoctoral, and ultimately faculty, positions and, more generally, to prepare participants to excel in their future careers as independent neuroscientists. The program’s aims are to (a) increase mentoring capacity and cultural awareness among our faculty and the broader community; (b) provide enhanced mentoring and directed career planning for diverse students; (c) train students in necessary quantitative and professional skills often overlooked during graduate education; and (d) build community and peer mentoring through a new seminar series, networking receptions, and online platforms. To increase the effectiveness of our faculty mentors, we will run mentor training workshops designed to help program faculty define a mentorship philosophy and to develop better practices for mentoring students from diverse backgrounds. Following this training, faculty mentors will lead bi-monthly meetings for program participants throughout the academic year to supplement existing graduate program mentoring structures. A critical element that promotes retention of diverse students is integration into a strong community of peers. We will develop new opportunities, including a new seminar series and annual networking receptions, for program participants to engage with each other and with program alumni. Finally, an intensive summer workshop series will focus on quantitative, communication, and leadership skills by leveraging existing initiatives and creating new resources. Through this multi-pronged approach, we will engage program faculty and trainees in an ongoing discussion about the importance of mentorship, career planning, networking, and diversity, which will strengthen our program and contribute to a diverse community. New York University and the NYU School of Medicine are devoted to recruiting and training a diverse student body and have many initiatives in place at both campuses. DeNDriTeS will be instrumental in furthering these larger efforts to create a vibrant, interactive and inclusive community. Our program will target advanced predoctoral students, in their 3rd year or higher, who conduct neuroscience research in any graduate program at NYU. New York City is a hub for neuroscience research and diverse cultures, and once the program is well established at NYU we will develop relationships with neighboring institutions to expand the network of scholars who benefit from these mentoring and training opportunities. The inclusion of a broader community of diverse students will have a positive impact upon program participants, as they benefit from expanded connections with many more peers from diverse backgrounds. To evaluate the program’s effectiveness, an advisory board and internal evaluators will work with program leadership to track mentor training, student progress, and participant engagement.

项目概要/摘要 该提案详细介绍了多元化神经科学家：博士培训系列 (DeNDriTeS)，这是一项新计划， 将为来自不同领域的纽约大学神经科学研究生提供指导、职业规划和技能培训 他们准备过渡到博士后研究职位时的背景。通过这个新计划，我们 寻求改善博士后项目参与者的安置，最终改善教师、职位， 更广泛地说，是让参与者做好准备，在未来的职业生涯中成为独立的神经科学家。这 该计划的目标是（a）提高我们的教师和更广泛的人的指导能力和文化意识 社区; (b) 为不同的学生提供加强的指导和有指导的职业规划； (c) 培训学生 研究生教育期间经常被忽视的必要的定量和专业技能； (d) 建造 通过新的研讨会系列、网络招待会和在线平台进行社区和同行指导。到 提高教师导师的效率，我们将举办导师培训研讨会，旨在帮助 项目教师定义了指导理念，并制定了更好的实践来指导学生 多样化的背景。培训结束后，教师导师将主持每两个月一次的项目会议 整个学年的参与者，以补充现有的研究生课程指导结构。一个 促进多元化学生保留的关键因素是融入强大的同龄人社区。我们 将为项目开发新的机会，包括新的研讨会系列和年度联谊招待会 参与者之间以及与项目校友的互动。最后，密集的夏季研讨会系列 将通过利用现有举措并创造机会，重点关注定量、沟通和领导技能 新资源。通过这种多管齐下的方法，我们将让项目教师和学员参与持续的 关于指导、职业规划、网络和多样性重要性的讨论，这将加强 我们的计划并为多元化社区做出贡献。纽约大学和纽约大学医学院 致力于招募和培训多元化的学生群体，并在两个校区实施了许多举措。 DeNDriTeS 将有助于进一步推动这些更大的努力，以创建一个充满活力、互动和包容的社区 社区。我们的项目将针对三年级或更高年级的高级博士前学生，他们进行 纽约大学任何研究生课程的神经科学研究。纽约市是神经科学研究的中心 多元文化，一旦该项目在纽约大学建立良好，我们将与邻近地区发展关系 机构扩大受益于这些指导和培训机会的学者网络。这 包容更广泛的多元化学生群体将对项目参与者产生积极影响，因为 他们受益于与更多来自不同背景的同龄人的广泛联系。评估 计划的有效性，顾问委员会和内部评估人员将与计划领导层合作跟踪 导师培训、学生进步和参与者参与。
