PROJECT SUMMARY In the US, African Americans (or Blacks), American Indians and Alaska Natives, Latinx, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders are underrepresented at all career stages in biomedical research. Factors contributing to these disparities include decreased financial support, decreased peer and community support, and biased promotion and grant funding review processes. Thus, the scientific community, including institutions and professional societies, is called upon to respond to these disparities by recruiting, supporting, training, and retraining underrepresented minorities (URMs). A diverse representation that reflects the US population leads to more creative, innovative, and rigorous science. This proposal recognizes that the academic hurdles faced by URM scientists/clinicians are related to the lack of access, training, and support as well as cultural biases within institutions. The American Society of Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) is committed to addressing this goal by offering the Excellence in Scientific Training and Professional Development (EXCEL) program, which will deliver state-of-the-art research techniques and high-quality professional development to early-career scientists/clinicians who identify as URM and who have research interests in fields related to the missions of the ASBMR and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). In this R25 project, a series of initiatives are proposed to attract talented early-career scientists from underrepresented backgrounds with ASBMR- and NIDDK-relevant research interests and prepare them to serve as future leaders by offering professional, scientific, and technical skill development and networking opportunities. The EXCEL cohorts will undergo advanced education and instruction crucial for their success through the ASBMR Leadership Education for Advancement (LEAD) Program. The ASBMR LEAD program will provide opportunities for the EXCEL cohort to access leadership development training over the course of 10 months, culminating in a networking reception at the annual ASBMR meeting. The training program will be led by professional leadership educators and senior ASBMR members, and further supported by peer networking groups and discussions. In addition, early-career scientists will be provided with grant funding to use for scientific or technical skill development activities, along with 1:1 mentorship by a senior ASBMR member. Finally, we aim to improve the culture of ASBMR to be more inclusive of URM by offering: 1) culturally aware mentorship training to society leadership and 2) offering all ASBMR members to attend a workshop intended to eliminate bias in the peer-review process. Successful completion of these Aims will provide critical access to networking opportunities, future scientific and professional collaborations, and career development for URM biomedical researchers. Of equal importance, the success of these Aims will create a shift in the cultural climate within the ASBMR, fostering inclusivity and creating and sustaining a work environment supportive of all members.

项目摘要 在美国，非裔美国人（或黑人），美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民，拉丁美洲人，夏威夷原住民， 其他太平洋岛民在生物医学研究的所有职业阶段的代表性不足。促成因素 这些差异包括财政支持减少，同伴和社区支持减少， 促进和赠款审查程序。因此，科学界，包括各机构和 专业团体，被要求通过招聘，支持，培训和 对代表性不足的少数群体进行再培训。反映美国人口的多元化代表导致 更有创造性、创新性和严谨的科学。这项建议承认， URM科学家/临床医生与缺乏访问，培训和支持以及内部的文化偏见有关 机构职能体系美国骨与矿物质研究学会（ASBMR）致力于实现这一目标 通过提供卓越的科学培训和专业发展（EXCEL）计划，该计划将 提供国家的最先进的研究技术和高质量的专业发展，以早期的职业生涯 科学家/临床医生谁确定为URM和谁在相关领域的研究兴趣的使命 ASBMR和国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所（NIDDK）。在这个R25项目中， 提出了一系列倡议，以吸引来自代表性不足背景的有才华的早期职业科学家 与ASBMR和NIDDK相关的研究兴趣，并准备他们作为未来的领导者，提供 专业，科学和技术技能发展和网络机会。EXCEL组将 通过ASBMR领导力教育，接受对其成功至关重要的高级教育和指导 领导（Lead）计划。ASBMR LEAD计划将为EXCEL队列提供机会 参加为期10个月的领导力发展培训，并在网络招待会上达到高潮 在ASBMR年会上该培训计划将由专业的领导力教育工作者和高级领导者领导。 ASBMR成员，并得到同行网络小组和讨论的进一步支持。此外，职业生涯早期 科学家将获得赠款资金，用于科学或技术技能发展活动，沿着 由ASBMR高级成员进行1：1指导。最后，我们的目标是改善ASBMR的文化， 包括URM，提供：1）对社会领导进行文化意识辅导培训，2）为所有 ASBMR成员参加一个旨在消除同行评审过程中偏见的研讨会。成功 这些目标的完成将提供关键的网络机会，未来的科学和专业 合作，和URM生物医学研究人员的职业发展。同样重要的是， 这些目标将在ASBMR内部创造一种文化氛围的转变，促进包容性， 保持一个支持所有成员的工作环境。
