Project Summary/Abstract The biomedical and behaviorally-related sciences are faced with workforce challenges that must be considered a priority if we are to meet the needs of the nation and drive health innovation. These challenges include lack of diversity in the workforce, but more importantly, lack of access of Underrepresented Minorities (URM) to career development programs that can allow them to enter the workforce. These challenges can be overcome, at least in part, by establishing programs to disseminate vanguard scientific information, create diverse and inclusive networks, and by establishing a system that promotes originality and allows creativity. The Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is an inclusive, multi- disciplinary and multicultural organization with a 45+ year history of interventions toward enhancing URM participation in biomedical and behaviorally-related STEM (sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. As the largest minority serving scientific organization in the country, SACNAS aims to serve, educate, promote, and prepare the next generation of successful URMs, particularly Hispanics and Native Americans, to integrate them into the workforce and promote their advancement. The National Diversity in STEM Conference has a long history of delivering high-quality programming. It provides a framework for the presentation of innovative and original research, mentoring opportunities, trans-disciplinary panels, and professional development workshops to URMs. Furthermore, the Conference will provide opportunities for discussions on how we can best integrate and diversify biomedical and behavioral research, paying particular attention on how to be inclusive of those most underserved and underrepresented. The three aims of this proposal are to: 1) Support student participation at the Conference, 2) Support participation at the Conference of keynote and session speakers conducting biomedical and behaviorally-related STEM research, and 3) Support the development, organization and implementation of the Conference Programming. The ultimate goal of the National Diversity in STEM Conference is to develop a well-prepared workforce, with a strong scientific identity and self-efficacy through presentation of their own research, multiple encounters with mentors and scientific speakers, role models, topic exerts, one-on-one mentoring settings, and purposeful professional development advise at all levels of a biomedical career.

项目摘要/摘要 生物医学和与行为相关的科学面临着必须考虑的劳动力挑战 如果我们要满足国家的需求并推动健康创新，则优先考虑。这些挑战包括缺乏 劳动力的多样性，但更重要的是，缺乏代表性不足的少数民族（URM）的职业 可以让他们进入劳动力的开发计划。这些挑战至少可以克服 在某种程度上，通过建立程序来传播先锋科学信息，创建多样化和包容性 网络，并通过建立一个促进独创性并允许创造力的系统。社会 奇卡诺斯/西班牙裔和美国原住民的进步（SACNAS）是一个包容性的，多重的 纪律和多元文化组织具有45年以上的干预历史，以增强URM 参与生物医学和行为相关的茎（科学，技术，工程和数学） 字段。作为该国最大的少数族裔科学组织，SACNA的目标是服务，教育， 促进并准备下一代成功的URM，尤其是西班牙裔和美洲原住民， 将它们整合到劳动力中并促进他们的进步。 STEM会议中的民族多样性 提供高质量编程的历史悠久。它为介绍的框架提供了 创新和原始研究，指导机会，跨学科小组和专业 URMS的开发研讨会。此外，会议将为讨论提供机会 我们如何最好地整合和多元化生物医学和行为研究，特别关注 包括那些服务最不足和代表性不足的人。该提议的三个目标是：1） 支持学生参加会议，2）支持参加主题演讲会议 进行生物医学和行为相关的STEM研究的会话演讲者，以及3）支持 会议编程的开发，组织和实施。最终目标 STEM大会的民族多样性是发展一个准备充分的劳动力，并具有强大的科学科学 通过介绍自己的研究，与导师的多次相遇，身份和自我效能感以及 科学演讲者，榜样，主题发挥，一对一的指导设置和有目的的专业人士 开发在生物医学职业的各个层面上提供建议。
