Modified Project Summary/Abstract Section The overarching goal of the University of Maryland FIRST program is to create a comprehensive model that is dedicated to ensuring a diverse, scholarly environment and encouraging outstanding individuals to enter the academic profession through a commitment to inclusive excellence. This proposal represents a Partnership between the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). As defined by the FIRST RFA, the UMSOM is a Highly Resourced Institution (HRI) with an average of $140 million in NIH funding over the last three years and UMBC is a Limited-Resourced Institution (LRI) with an average of $7.5 million in NIH funding over the last three years. The UMSOM is one of six professional schools on the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) campus located in downtown Baltimore. UMBC is located in the Baltimore suburbs, just 8 miles away from UMB. UMB and UMBC have been closely linked ever since the 1966 founding of UMBC through a variety of interactions and relationships as described in the proposal. We will “build” upon UMBC’s rich reputation as a public research university for producing highly capable and competitive undergraduate and graduate scholars in a diverse setting. We will combine our experience in hiring a diverse faculty through effective post-doctoral and pre-professoriate programs with the stellar reputation of UMB-SOM in producing highly successful biomedical researchers. This new model will seek to hire three cohorts of underrepresented scholars, who are committed to diversity in the academy and to prepare those scholars for successful possible tenure track appointments at UMBC. In addition, the program will serve to encourage and support departments and programs in their efforts to enrich their intellectual communities through the increased representation of diverse perspectives in research, teaching, and service. Cohorts will be recruited into broadly themed areas of cancer biology, neuroscience, and microbiology/infectious diseases, which are all areas of significant strength at both institutions. Ten new faculty members from underrepresented groups will be recruited, with six recruits being primarily affiliated with the UMSOM and four recruits primarily affiliated with UMBC. All recruits will have secondary appointments in the other institution and will undergo faculty development and other program activities as a cohort. The general approach proposed in this initiative is to combine the experiences and strengths of our two institutions through leveraging existing programs and new initiatives to infuse the unbiased hiring and mentoring of faculty, especially underrepresented minorities, into the fabric of departmental culture and thereby affect institutional change. Of primary importance are institutional policies and procedures that codify the importance of a diverse professoriate and provide a sustainable infrastructure for it to establish and grow.

修改的项目摘要/摘要部分 马里兰州大学第一计划的总体目标是创建一个全面的模型，该模型致力于确保多样性，科学环境，并鼓励杰出的个人通过致力于包容性卓越的承诺进入学术界。该建议代表了马里兰大学医学院（UMSOM）与马里兰州巴尔的摩县（UMBC）之间的合作伙伴关系。正如第一RFA所定义的那样，UMSOM是一家资源丰富的机构（HRI），过去三年中平均为1.4亿美元的NIH资金，而UMBC是一家资源资源有限的机构（LRI），在过去三年中，NIH资金平均为750万美元。 UMSOM是马里兰州巴尔的摩大学（UMB）校园的六所专业学校之一，位于巴尔的摩市中心。 UMBC位于巴尔的摩郊区，距离UMB仅8英里。自1966年UMBC创立以来，UMB和UMBC通过提案中所述的各种相互作用和关系一直紧密联系。我们将以UMBC作为公共研究大学的富裕声誉来“建立”，以在潜水员环境中生产高能力和竞争性的本科和研究生学者。我们将通过有效的博士后和预科课程的有效聘用潜水员教师的经验以及对UMB-SOM的出色评论在生产非常成功的生物医学研究人员方面的出色评价。这种新模式将寻求雇用三个代表性不足的学者，他们致力于学院的多样性，并为这些学者准备在UMBC成功的终身任期任命。此外，该计划将有助于鼓励和支持部门和计划，以通过增加潜水员在研究，教学和服务中的观点来丰富其知识社区。队列将被招募到癌症生物学，神经科学和微生物学/传染病的广泛为主题的领域，这些地区在这两个机构中都是巨大力量的领域。将招募来自代表性不足的团体的十名新教职员工，其中6名新兵是UMSOM的主要会员，并与UMBC的四名新兵分支机构。所有新兵将在另一家机构中有次要任命，并将接受教师的发展和其他计划活动作为同伙。 该计划中提出的一般方法是通过利用现有计划和新计划来结合我们两个机构的经验和优势，以注入对教职员工的公正招聘和心理化，尤其是代表性不足的少数群体，将其融合到部门文化的结构中，从而影响制度变化。最重要的是机构政策和程序，这些政策和程序将多样性利润的重要性编纂并为其建立和发展提供可持续的基础设施。
