Synergistic Network to Enhance Research that Grows Innovation

项目总结/摘要 这项建议的目的是提高准备和竞争力的不同学者，因为他们的培训 在生物医学，行为和临床科学的研究生涯。为了实现这一目标，我们 我已经利用了国家领导联盟伙伴关系的专业知识和基础设施， 新的教育和专业发展活动，将加强现有的活动，增加 为所有学术水平的代表性不足（UR）的学者提供机会，并产生可扩展和可出口的 为生物医学研究界提供产品。我们提出了一个新的模型，名为SYnergistic网络， 加强促进创新的研究（SYNERGI），这将建立在试点项目的优势之上， 领导联盟全国研讨会（局域网）。新模式将通过结合 在试点项目中与局域网一起开展的教育和指导活动。 通过这项建议，我们寻求支持延长和扩大试点项目，以建立一个 全面的指导和培训模式，提供技能发展、指导和推广 在学术途径的每个阶段为乌拉圭大学学者的国家社区开展活动。协同 该模式包括以下活动： 1.为本科生开设的新技能发展学年讲习班，从第一年开始， 为学生参加SR-EIP做好准备，并在全国研讨会上展示他们的成果 2.在领导力联盟全国研讨会（局域网）上加强专业发展辅导 它提供： a.本科生技能发展和指导 B.为研究生和博士后研究员举办新的职业发展讲习班 C.为少数民族服务机构的教师设立新的赠款写作指导小组 D.与研究专业人员，教师和管理人员建立联系 3.通过领导力联盟连接（TLA连接），一个在线辅导， 和网络平台，以及来自联盟机构的校友和教师的亲身机会 通过演讲者系列分享他们的研究或项目活动。 计划参与者将包括本科生，研究生，博士后研究员和早期职业 教师或专业人士内部和外部的领导联盟网络。 通过继续努力，我们将有能力提供教育资源和职业肯定 在乌拉圭大学学者的全国网络内，沿着学术途径进行关键转变的指导 做好了导师和榜样的准备联合活动的协同作用将有助于激励 学员坚持和追求生物医学劳动力的研究事业。

Project Summary/Abstract The goal of this proposal is to increase the preparedness and competitiveness of diverse scholars as they train for and enter research careers in the biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences. To accomplish this goal, we have already leveraged the expertise and infrastructure of the national Leadership Alliance partnership to pilot new educational and professional development activities that will strengthen existing activities, increase opportunities for underrepresented (UR) scholars at all academic levels, and produce scalable and exportable products for the biomedical research community. We propose a new model entitled, SYnergistic Network to Enhance Research that Grows Innovation (SYNERGI), which will build on the strengths of the pilot project and the extant Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS). The new model will do so by combining the educational and mentoring activities developed in the pilot project with the LANS. With this proposal, we seek support for the renewal and expansion of the pilot project to create a comprehensive mentoring and training model that provides skill development, mentoring, and outreach activities for a national community of UR scholars at each stage of the academic pathway. The SYNERGI model includes the following activities: 1. New skill development academic year workshops for undergraduates, starting in their first year, which will prepare students for participating in the SR-EIP and presenting their results at the national symposium 2. Enhanced professional development mentoring at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS) that offers: a. Skill development and mentoring for undergraduates b. New career development workshops for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows c. New grant writing coaching groups for faculty from minority-serving institutions d. Networking with research professionals, faculty, and administrators 3. Continuity of mentorship through The Leadership Alliance Connect (TLA Connect), an online mentoring and networking platform as well as in person opportunities for alumni and faculty from Alliance institutions to share their research or program activities through a Speaker Series. Program participants will include undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty or professionals within and external to the Leadership Alliance network. By continuing our efforts, we will have the capacity to provide the educational resources and career-affirming mentoring at the critical transitions along the academic pathway within a national network of UR scholars poised to serve as mentors and role models. The synergy of the combined activities will help to motivate trainees to persist and pursue research careers in the biomedical workforce.
