ASCB's MOSAIC Program (AMP)

项目总结/摘要 女性、残疾人或某些少数种族的科学家在终身职位中的代表性仍然不足， 美国研究型大学的田径教师。扩大代表性不足的研究人员的参与 小组（URG）是一个优先事项，因为它将提高科学创新和生产力，提高未来的学员 学习环境，提高美国生物医药企业的国际竞争力。最近 研究表明，从博士后到教师的过渡是URG科学家的一个主要消耗点， 通往终身职位的道路因此，需要新的干预措施来支持来自URG的研究人员， 并在研究型大学开始终身教职。 美国细胞生物学协会（ASCB）有能力满足这一需求。ASCB有一个 在促进科学家的研究和专业发展方面， 在职业生涯的各个阶段。基于这种深厚的经验和ASCB成员的丰富资源，我们 提出一个ASCB马赛克计划（AMP），以提高来自URG的学者在终身教职轨道上的成功 教师职位。AMP采用社会影响力的三方整合模式， 假设受训者的科学效能感、科学认同感和价值观的一致性有助于他们的 坚持在STEM领域。AMP将提供基于证据的、经过严格评估的技能组合 发展研讨会，导师培训和机构文化变革举措，以增强AMP学者的 科学效能感、认同感和价值取向。我们将通过三个具体目标来实现这一目标： 具体目标1：为AMP学者提供技能发展。我们将创建一个基于队列的 专业技能发展计划，建立在AMP学者的优势，以提高他们的 准备，招聘，保留和终身制轨道，研究密集型教师职位的成功。 具体目标2：培训AMP计划导师。我们将为AMP创建一个基于队列的培训计划 学者的博士后导师，加上额外的，补充的科学和专业发展 导师，这些关系继续在博士后到教师的过渡。 具体目标3：促进机构干预，扩大研究参与 教师。我们将召集部门和大学领导人交流最佳做法， 体制变革，改善包容性文化，扩大参与、留用和 从URG教师的成功。 我们预计，AMP将显着提高我们的学者作为终身制研究教师的成功。我们 导师培训和机构改革举措也将使更多的受训人员和大学受益， 我们的直接参与者，扩大AMP在全国的影响。我们预计， AMP将有意义地推动美国学术生物医学劳动力的包容性卓越。

Project Summary/Abstract Scientists who are women, disabled or certain racial minorities remain under-represented among the tenure- track faculty at US research universities. Broadening participation by researchers from these under-represented groups (URGs) is a priority, because it will enhance science innovation and productivity, improve future trainees’ learning environments and enhance the international competitiveness of the US biomedical enterprise. Recent studies have shown that the postdoc-to-faculty transition is a major attrition point for scientists from URGs on the path to tenure. Therefore, new interventions are needed to support researchers from URGs as they seek and commence tenure-track positions at research-intensive universities. The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is well-positioned to address this need. ASCB has a successful, decades-long history of promoting the research and professional development of scientists from URGs at all career stages. Building on this deep experience and the rich resources of ASCB membership, we propose an ASCB MOSAIC Program (AMP) to enhance the success of scholars from URGs in tenure-track faculty positions. AMP adopts the tripartite integration model of social influence, an established framework postulating that trainees’ senses of science efficacy, science identity and alignment of values contribute to their persistence in STEM fields. AMP will provide a combination of evidence-based, rigorously evaluated skills development workshops, mentor training and institutional culture-change initiatives to augment AMP scholars’ science efficacy, identity and values alignment. We will accomplish this goal through three Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1: To provide skills development for AMP scholars. We will create a cohort-based professional skills development program that builds on the strengths of AMP scholars to enhance their preparation, hiring, retention and success in tenure-track, research-intensive faculty positions. Specific Aim 2: To train AMP program mentors. We will create a cohort-based training program for AMP scholars’ postdoctoral supervisors, plus additional, supplemental scientific and professional development mentors, with these relationships continuing across the postdoc-to-faculty transition. Specific Aim 3: To catalyze institutional interventions that broaden participation among research faculty. We will convene departmental and university leadership to exchange best practices for effecting institutional change, improving their cultures of inclusiveness and broadening participation, retention and success among faculty from URGs. We expect that AMP will significantly enhance our scholars’ success as tenure-track research faculty. Our mentor training and institutional change initiatives will also benefit additional trainees and universities, beyond our direct participants, extending AMP’s impact across the nation. We anticipate that the successful completion of AMP will meaningfully advance inclusive excellence across the US academic biomedical workforce.
