Promoting wellness and strategies for building resilience is important for retaining talented scientists, especially women and underrepresented minority scientists, in the workforce, and facilitating their long-term success. The activities proposed here would fill an important gap in our offerings, and address an increased need for access to these resources brought about by the pandemic. We propose to build upon and sustain the NIH's "Becoming a Resilient Scientist" series at Brown via three primary activities: 1. Development and delivery of an expanded resiliency curriculum; 2. Engagement of Resiliency Ambassadors who will serve as peer facilitators; and 3. Recruiting additional faculty to participate and train to be future facilitators of the curriculum. The three faculty that will lead this initiative are trained facilitators who piloted the NIH content and facilitated discussions in Fall 2021. Based on feedback collected from the initial cohort of 20 trainees, we propose to develop this content into a course with additional interactive content, including expert guest speakers and experiential learning activities. We will recruit participants from the parent T32 program, as well as our other NIGMS-funded T32/R25 programs, doctoral programs in the Division of Biology and Medicine, and postdoctoral trainees from life science disciplines across the university. Indeed, we currently have a waitlist of trainees eager to obtain resiliency training, and who will benefit from the proposed course. Peer facilitators who have been involved in resiliency content previously will further engage course participants, serve as a resource, and participate in dissemination of the course experience and outcomes. Additional faculty facilitators will be trained to help sustain the course in future years and advocate for resiliency supports. Altogether, we aim to build a community of resiliency at Brown, which will, in turn, support the continued success of our trainees as they build careers in the biomedical sciences.

促进健康和建立复原力的战略对于留住人才至关重要 科学家，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族科学家， 促进他们的长期成功。在此提议的活动将填补我们在这方面的一个重要空白。 产品，并解决日益增长的需要获得这些资源所带来的 流行病我们建议建立和维持国家卫生研究院的“成为一个有弹性的科学家” 在布朗通过三个主要活动系列：1。发展和提供扩大的复原力 课程; 2.让复原力大使参与，他们将担任同侪协调人; 3. 招募更多的教师参与和培训，成为课程的未来促进者。的 将领导这一倡议的三名教师是训练有素的主持人，他们试点了NIH的内容， 在2021年秋季促进讨论。根据从最初的20个队列收集的反馈， 学员，我们建议将这一内容发展成一门课程，增加互动内容， 包括专家嘉宾演讲和体验式学习活动。我们将招募来自 父母T32计划，以及我们的其他NIGMS资助的T32/R25计划，博士课程 在生物学和医学部门，以及来自生命科学学科的博士后培训生 穿过大学。事实上，我们目前有一个等待名单的学员渴望获得弹性 培训，以及谁将受益于拟议的课程。参与过的同伴促进者 在弹性内容之前将进一步吸引课程参与者，作为资源， 参与传播课程经验和成果。其他教师促进者 将接受培训，以帮助在未来几年维持课程，并倡导弹性支持。 总之，我们的目标是在布朗建立一个弹性社区，这将反过来支持 我们的培训生在生物医学科学领域的职业生涯中不断取得成功。
