Scientific workforce diversity has been a longstanding challenge, and lack of progress negatively impacts innovation, scientific discovery, and ultimately public health. Despite ongoing efforts, racial diversity among the nation’s scientific research faculty remains low. Vanderbilt is well poised to build on this experience and achieve more racial and ethnic diversity among our scientific research faculty. The Vanderbilt Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation Program (V-FIRST) will leverage substantial new institutional commitments to diversity and inclusion, and will build on prior success, recruiting women faculty and Black and Latinx postdoctoral fellows, to optimize recruitment and retention of Black, Latinx, American Indian, and Pacific Islander faculty. With commitment of a 3:1 match of institutional dollars to NIH FIRST dollars, V-FIRST will recruit at least 18 tenure-track faculty from minoritized racial and ethnic groups. With a leadership team comprised of key institutional leaders who are highly committed to and experienced in recruiting, developing, mentoring and sponsoring faculty from minoritized groups, we will achieve these goals: Overall Aim 1: Identify and eliminate organizational barriers that impede full participation, advancement, and thriving of racially diverse faculty in academia. We will implement sustainable and progressive institutional policies that enhance diverse faculty hiring, retention, promotion, and tenure, and employ cross- institutional strategies to cultivate inclusivity, cohesion, and belonging. Overall Aim 2: In a series of three cluster hires, recruit 18-20 tenure-track, early-career scientific faculty who are Black, Latinx, American Indian, and Pacific Islander, and establish a supportive and nurturing environment for their success. Using an equity framework, we will implement an inclusive search process that proactively identifies early career Black, Latinx, American Indian, and Pacific Islander scientists, equitably evaluates applications, removes barriers to applying, and provides well-resourced start-up packages. Overall Aim 3: Effectively mentor, retain, and support diverse early-career scientific faculty to promotion with tenure. In addition to Vanderbilt’s vast faculty development resources, we will provide V-FIRST faculty with a multi-tier mentoring and nationally recognized senior scientists as sponsors. We will reduce isolation and increase sense of community with social and culturally-relevant activities that enable V-FIRST faculty to thrive. Overall Aim 4: Comprehensively evaluate V-FIRST’s hiring process, career development activities and the impact of V-FIRST on Vanderbilt’s culture. Using an equity lens, we will determine the effectiveness of the V-FIRST program through process and outcome indicators that measure change at multiple levels, including faculty development, mentoring and relationships, and institutional policies, practices, and culture. We will use data collected through evaluation to inform ongoing program improvement and institutional change.

科学的劳动力多样性一直是一个长期的挑战，缺乏进展会产生负面影响 创新、科学发现，最终是公共健康。尽管不断努力，但种族多样性在 国家的科研人员仍然很少。范德比尔特已做好充分准备，将以这一经验为基础，实现 更多种族和民族多样性 在我们的科研教职员工中。范德比尔特学院学院 可持续转型招聘计划(V-First)将利用大量新的机构 致力于多样性和包容性，并将在以往成功的基础上，招聘女性教职员工和黑人 拉丁裔博士后研究员，以优化黑人、拉丁裔、美国印第安人和太平洋人的招聘和留住 岛民教员。承诺机构美元与NIH第一美元3：1匹配，V-First将 从小型化的种族和民族群体中招聘至少18名终身教职教师。拥有一个领导团队 由主要机构领导人组成，他们高度致力于招聘、开发、 通过对来自小规模团体的教师进行指导和赞助，我们将实现以下目标： 总体目标1：找出并消除妨碍充分参与、晋升、 以及学术界中种族多元化的教职员工的蓬勃发展。我们将实施可持续发展和进步 机构政策，加强不同教师的招聘、留任、晋升和终身教职，并采用交叉 培养包容性、凝聚力和归属感的体制战略。 总体目标2：在一系列三个集群招聘中，招聘18-20名终身教职、职业生涯早期的科学教师 他们是黑人、拉丁裔、美国印第安人和太平洋岛民，并建立了一种支持和培育 为他们的成功创造良好的环境。使用公平框架，我们将实施包容性搜索过程， 积极主动地识别职业生涯早期的黑人、拉丁裔、美国印第安人和太平洋岛民科学家 评估应用程序，消除申请障碍，并提供资源充足的启动包。 总体目标3：有效地指导、留住和支持各种早期职业科学教师的晋升 拥有终身教职。除了范德比尔特丰富的教师发展资源外，我们还将为V-First教师提供 一个多层次的导师和国家公认的资深科学家作为赞助商。我们将减少孤立和 通过与社会和文化相关的活动增强社区意识，使V-First教职员工蓬勃发展。 总体目标4：全面评价V-First的招聘流程、职业发展活动和 V-First对范德比尔特文化的影响。使用公平的视角，我们将确定 V-First方案通过在多个层面衡量变化的过程和结果指标，包括 教师发展、指导和关系，以及机构政策、实践和文化。我们将使用 通过评估收集的数据，为正在进行的方案改进和体制变革提供信息。
