Project Summary/Abstract Recruitment and retention of women and underrepresented minorities into academic gastroenterology (GI) has been a major challenge for decades (Merchant, 2010). Indeed, as of 2017, only 3.2% of gastroenterology fellows were African American and 8.5% were Hispanic (Quezada, 2017). To address these challenges NIDDK has funded initiatives by the American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) since 2012: R25 DK096968 Investing in the Future to Promote Diversity in GI Training (9/10/2012 – 8/31/2017) and R25 DK118761 AGA - Fostering Opportunities Resulting in Workforce and Research Diversity (FORWARD, R25 DK118761 7/1/2018 – 4/30/2023). FORWARD is a structured curriculum that has been successful in helping junior GI faculty from URM backgrounds (twenty so far) to succeed in academia. Its renewal for the next 5 years has received a favorable score. For the past ten years this PI and others at AGA, who are passionate about diversity, have volunteered their time to compete for funding, organize, coordinate and supervise the progress of these NIDDK-funded initiatives. This K26 award will provide dedicated salary support to allow this investigator to decrease his clinical load and reallocate salary support to hire a senior scientist to assist the PI with the day-to-day operation of his research program. These measures will for the first time allow the PI the dedicated time that might better guarantee the success of these national initiatives. At the institutional level, these funds will free time to continue mentoring URM students at the undergraduate and graduate levels and newly hired junior GI faculty.

项目摘要/摘要 招聘和留住妇女和代表性不足的少数群体进入学术界 胃肠病学(GI)几十年来一直是一个重大挑战(Merchant，2010)。事实上，从 2017年，只有3.2%的胃肠病研究员是非洲裔美国人，8.5%是西班牙裔 (Quezada，2017)。为了应对这些挑战，NIDDK资助了美国 胃肠病协会(AGA)自2012年以来：R25 DK096968投资未来以 促进GI培训的多样性(2012/9/10-8/31/2017)和R25 DK118761 AGA-培养 带来劳动力和研究多样性的机会(Forward，R25 DK118761 2018年7月1日-2023年4月30日)。Forward是一个结构化的课程，它已经成功地帮助 来自URM背景的初级GI教师(到目前为止有20名)在学术界取得成功。它的续订时间为 接下来的5年取得了良好的成绩。在过去的十年里，这位PI和其他人在 AGA对多样性充满热情，他们自愿投入时间争夺资金， 组织、协调和监督NIDDK资助的这些举措的进展情况。这个K26 奖励将提供专门的工资支持，使这位研究员能够减轻他的临床负担 并重新分配工资支助，聘请一名资深科学家协助PI的日常运作 他的研究项目。这些措施将第一次允许PI有专门的时间 这可能会更好地保证这些国家倡议的成功。在机构层面，这些 资金将腾出时间继续指导本科生和研究生 和新聘的初级GI教员。
