Synergistic Network to Enhance Research that Grows Innovation

项目摘要/摘要 这项提议的目标是增加不同学者在培训过程中的准备和竞争力 在生物医学、行为科学和临床科学领域从事研究工作。为了实现这一目标，我们 已经利用国家领导力联盟伙伴关系的专业知识和基础设施进行试点 新的教育和职业发展活动，将加强现有活动，增加 为所有学术水平的代表不足(UR)学者提供机会，并产生可扩展和可出口的产品 面向生物医学研究社区的产品。我们提出了一种新的模型，名为协同网络 增强促进创新的研究(SYNERGI)，它将建立在试点项目和 现有的领导力联盟全国研讨会(LANS)。新模型将通过将 在与区域网络的试点项目中开展的教育和辅导活动。 通过这项建议，我们寻求支持更新和扩大试点项目，以创造一个 全面的指导和培训模式，提供技能发展、指导和拓展 在学术道路的每个阶段，为UR学者的全国社区开展活动。SYNERGI 模型包括以下活动： 1.为本科生举办的新技能发展学年讲习班，从第一年开始，将 为学生参与SR-EIP做好准备，并在全国研讨会上展示他们的成果 2.在领导力联盟国家研讨会(LANS)上加强职业发展指导 这提供了： A.本科生的技能发展和辅导 B.为研究生和博士后研究员举办新的职业发展讲习班 C.为少数族裔服务机构的教师设立新的赠款写作辅导小组 D.与研究专业人员、教职员工和管理人员建立联系 3.通过在线指导-领导力联盟连接(TLA Connect)实现指导的连续性 以及为联盟机构的校友和教职员工提供面对面的机会 通过演讲者系列分享他们的研究或计划活动。 该计划的参与者将包括本科生、研究生、博士后研究员和早期职业 领导力联盟网络内外的教师或专业人员。 通过继续努力，我们将有能力提供教育资源和职业肯定 在全国UR学者网络内指导学术道路上的关键过渡 准备好担任导师和榜样。合并活动的协同作用将有助于激励 受训人员坚持并在生物医学劳动力中从事研究事业。

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.
