PROJECT ABSTRACT The pipeline of physician-scientists from underrepresented populations in the biomedical workforce remains leaky. In gastroenterology, only 4 percent of academic faculty are African American, and 6 percent are Hispanic/Latinx. American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian physicians represent less than 0.2 percent of all academic faculty positions. These numbers are significantly lower than the representation of these groups within the overall U.S. population. A 2020 survey conducted by the Intersociety Group for Diversity, a working group of representatives from five digestive disease professional associations including the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), illustrated that the primary impediment to success for physician-scientists from underrepresented populations remains a lack of effective and accessible mentoring. AGA has a long and successful record of professional development programs designed to improve the diversity of the research workforce in gastroenterology. AGA has implemented NIDDK-funded programs to promote the recruitment and retention of underrepresented physician-scientists in gastroenterology since 2001. Our current program, FORWARD began in 2018 and has demonstrated success in advancing the diversity of the biomedical workforce with a focus on research skills development, leadership skills development, and effective mentoring. This competitive renewal application, FORWARD 2.0, proposes to leverage the successes of the original program with an enhanced focus on 1) manuscript writing and grant-writing training for both program alumni and current cohorts with tracks specific to NIH K or R01 grant writing, 2) leadership development and support focused on training and transitioning alumni and current cohort participants to assume leadership positions within AGA's professional society committee structures and academic medicine and 3) intensive mentoring from an expanded team of mentors, including senior mentors, home institution mentors and near-peer mentors, and using mobile app-based mentoring technology.

项目摘要 来自生物医学劳动力中未被充分代表的人群的内科科学家管道仍然存在 漏水。在胃肠病学领域，只有4%的学术教职员工是非裔美国人，6%是非洲裔美国人 西班牙裔/拉丁裔。美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民医生不到0.2 占所有学术教师职位的百分比。这些数字明显低于 这些群体在美国总人口中。国际社会组织于2020年进行的一项 多样性，一个由来自五个消化疾病专业协会的代表组成的工作组，包括 美国胃肠病学会(AGA)指出，成功的主要障碍是 来自代表性不足人群的内科科学家仍然缺乏有效和可获得的指导。 AGA在职业发展计划方面有着长期而成功的记录，旨在改善 胃肠病学研究队伍的多样性。AGA实施了NIDDK资助的计划，以 促进招募和留住2001年以来在胃肠病学领域任职人数不足的内科科学家。 我们目前的计划Forward始于2018年，并在促进 注重研究技能发展、领导技能发展的生物医学员工队伍 有效的指导。这款竞争激烈的续订应用程序Forward 2.0建议利用这些成功 原计划的重点是1)手稿写作和赠款写作培训 计划校友和当前同龄人，具有特定于NIH K或R01拨款撰写的跟踪，2)领导力 发展和支持的重点是培训和过渡校友和当前的队列参与者，以 在AGA的专业协会委员会结构和学术医学中担任领导职务 3)来自扩大的导师团队的密集指导，包括高级导师、家庭机构 导师和近乎同行的导师，并使用基于移动应用的指导技术。
