Annual Grantees Meeting for Research on Interventions that Promote Research Caree

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议继续举行为期两天的年度会议，促进研究人员之间的讨论，通过研究了解和告知干预措施，促进学生在生物医学和行为科学倡议的研究职业，以及NIGMS-更多的工作人员。本次会议的主要目标是提供一个加速进展的反馈机制，使NIGMS-MORE能够：定制随后的赠款周期调用，确定干预计划要求变化的有希望的可能性，考虑实现增加代表性不足的少数民族学生选择和成功从事生物医学研究职业的目标的替代机制。年会还有一个次要但相关的目标-完善研究。通过“研究以了解和宣传干预措施”倡议，资助的研究项目已转向具有纵向组成部分的前瞻性研究。如有可能，还跟踪对照组或比较组。其结果是出现了丰富的数据来源，为培训计划提供信息，并推进这一研究领域的研究。除了项目报告和讨论，外部从业者将讨论会议内容和下一步。一名主持人也将协助完善讨论。总之，这次会议提供了一个论坛，使这一领域的研究人员能够传播重要的研究结果，划定进一步研究的领域，并确定有可能帮助纠正少数群体在科学领域代表性不足的干预措施。会议摘要将汇编成年度白色文件。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to continue a two-day annual conference that facilitates discussion among researchers funded through the Research to Understand and Inform Interventions that Promote the Research Careers of Students in the Biomedical and Behavioral Science initiative, and NIGMS-MORE staff. The primary objective of this conference is to provide an accelerated progress feedback mechanism that will allow NIGMS-MORE to: tailor subsequent grant cycle calls, identify promising possibilities for changes in intervention program requirements, consider alternative mechanisms for achieving the goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minority students choosing and succeeding in biomedical research careers. The annual meeting also serves a secondary, but related, objective -- to refine research. Through the Research to Understand and Inform Interventions initiative, the funded research projects have moved towards prospective studies with longitudinal components. When possible, control or comparison groups are also being followed. The result is the emergence of a rich source of data to inform training programs and advance research in this area of study. In addition to project reports and discussion, an outside practitioner will discuss conference content and next steps. A facilitator will also contribute towards the refinement of the discussion. In summary, this conference provides a forum in which researchers in this area can disseminate important findings, delineate areas for further study, and identify interventions that have the potential to aid in correcting the underrepresentation of minorities in the sciences. A summary of the meeting will be compiled into an annual white paper.
