Diversity on science teams has been shown to increase research productivity and creativity yet the scientific workforce lacks sufficient diversity. A range of approaches to diversifying the workforce have been initiated, such as the BUILD and NRMN efforts, however we still lack scientific evidence as to which approaches work most effectively, with whom, and for what duration. Going forward, we need both new methods for diversifying the workforce and better ways to assess their effectiveness. This study seeks to test an intervention (Career Education and Enhancement for research Diversity (CEED)) designed for postdocs and junior faculty who are underrepresented in health-related sciences on a national basis. CEED aims to improve the Psychological Capital of underrepresented trainees by increasing their hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism. These skills have repeatedly been shown to impact attitudes and performance. We propose a cluster randomized controlled trial to test the CEED intervention with 26 institutions. We will standardize the intervention so that it can be implemented consistently across the treatment sites. Near-peer mentors at the treatment sites will receive career coaching and mentor training so that they can deliver the intervention more effectively. We will follow participants for two years to study the impact of CEED. We will also study the factors that contribute to the participants success by engaging in qualitative research using participant interviews. Finally, when the trial is concluded, we will disseminate the intervention to the wait-list controls as well as other institutions for a broad dissemination. Our work aims to improve the culture for postdocs, fellows, and junior faculty who are underrepresented (UR) in the biomedical research workforce using near-peer and peer mentoring with a 12- month program that has been successful at retaining UR in academia and in research careers. By training near-peer mentors to offer the intervention, we empower them as role models. Additionally, by testing the effects of CEED on Psychological Capital through a rigorous experimental design, we will be able to identify a potential mechanism through which CEED works. The Building Up study will support diversifying the workforce with diversity supplements at all stages of education. Taylor Mathis is currently sophomore (undergraduate) in Statistics at the University of Pittsburgh Honors College. She will work with the Building Up study by participating in qualitative interview coding and analysis and will conduct an associated literature review. These are areas that Ms Mathis will not receive instruction in with her current training program and are important for understanding how qualitative research efforts contribute to scientific research. This experience will be a significant asset to Ms. Mathis as she prepares her application for the MPH program in Epidemiology.

科学团队的多样性已被证明可以提高研究效率和创造力，而科学团队 劳动力缺乏足够的多样性。已经启动了一系列使劳动力多样化的方法， 例如BUILD和NRMN的努力，然而，我们仍然缺乏科学证据来证明哪些方法有效 最有效的，和谁一起，持续多长时间。展望未来，我们需要两种新的多元化方法 以及评估其有效性的更好方法。这项研究旨在测试一项干预措施(职业 教育和促进研究多样性(CEED))专为博士后和初级教员设计 在国家基础上，在与健康相关的科学领域的代表性不足。CEED的目标是改善心理 通过增加受训人员的希望、效力、韧性和乐观情绪，为未充分代表的受训人员提供资本。这些技能 已经多次被证明会影响态度和表现。我们提出了一种随机化的簇 与26家机构进行对照试验，以测试CEED干预措施。我们将规范干预，使其 可以在治疗地点一致地实施。治疗地点的近乎同行的导师将 接受职业指导和导师培训，以便他们能够更有效地提供干预。我们会 对参与者进行为期两年的跟踪调查，以研究CEED的影响。我们还将研究促成以下因素的因素 参与者通过使用参与者访谈进行定性研究而获得成功。最后，当审判 ，我们将把干预措施分发给轮候名单管制人员以及其他机构，以便 广泛传播。我们的工作旨在改善博士后、研究员和初级教员的文化 在生物医学研究人员中的代表性不足(UR)，使用近同行和同行指导，具有12- 一个月的项目，在学术界和研究事业中成功地保留了UR。通过培训 近乎同行的导师提供干预，我们让他们成为榜样。此外，通过测试 CEED对心理资本的影响通过严格的实验设计，我们将能够识别 CEED工作的潜在机制。 Building Up研究将支持劳动力多样化，在以下各个阶段提供多样性补充 教育。泰勒·马西斯目前在匹兹堡大学读统计学二年级(本科生) 荣誉学院。她将参与建立研究，通过参与定性访谈编码和 分析，并将进行相关的文献审查。这些都是马西斯女士不会得到的 与她目前的培训计划相结合的指导，对于理解定性研究 努力有助于科学研究。这一经历将是马西斯女士的一项重要资产，因为她 准备申请公共卫生硕士课程的流行病学。
