PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The biomedical workforce suffers from a lack of diversity among the research workforce: the number of investigators from underrepresented backgrounds who enter academia is disproportionately low, and subsequently, there is a high attrition rate among these investigators due to numerous significant challenges related to being from an underrepresented group. Lack of diversity in biomedical research is harmful because diversity improves the research community and our scientific output and because investigators from underrepresented backgrounds are more likely to conduct research in diverse populations. Thus, recruiting and retaining underrepresented investigators is critical to achieving equity in biomedical research and clinical care. Two key factors that improve retention and career advancement for investigators from underrepresented backgrounds are the availability of faculty role models with similar backgrounds and access to robust mentorship. This award aims to provide such mentorship and role modeling through a comprehensive mentoring and career development program: the MPIs, Drs. Stanford and Stanley are physician-scientist colleagues with multiple previous and existing collaborations who have expertise in mentorship and promoting diversity. They will lead a comprehensive program that achieves three aims for underrepresented scholars: (1) providing comprehensive, multi-level mentoring that includes both robust faculty mentorship and peer and near-peer mentorship; (2) providing guidance and skill-building for research advancement, including preparation of R01 or equivalent grant applications at the end of the mentoring experience; and (3) preparing scholars to be mentors and academic leaders. Critical components of the program include monthly peer- mentoring meetings, monthly individual meetings with one of the MPIs, quarterly meetings with a near-peer mentor, participation in a curriculum with multiple faculty speakers that ensures the skills required for grant writing, scientific communication, and academic advancement, and participation in the larger group of scholars supported by this grant mechanism. During the 2–3-year mentoring experience, scholars will gain a supportive group of peers, close mentoring relationships with the MPIs and a near-peer mentor; skills to overcome the many challenges of academia, including those unique to investigators from underrepresented backgrounds; skills in grant and manuscript writing through both groups and individually mentored activities; skills in mentoring and leadership; and a vision and strategy for moving forward in their careers. This proposal serves the mission of NIDDK by supporting and promoting scholars from underrepresented backgrounds who are already NIDDK funded, substantially increasing the chances of their retention and success in the biomedical workforce.

项目摘要/摘要 生物医学研究队伍缺乏多样性： 来自代表性不足背景的调查人员进入学术界的比例不成比例地低， 因此，由于面临许多重大挑战，这些调查员的自然减员率很高 与来自代表性不足的群体有关。生物医学研究缺乏多样性是有害的， 多样性改善了研究社区和我们的科学产出，因为来自 代表性不足的背景更有可能在不同的人群中进行研究。因此，招聘 保留代表性不足的研究人员对于实现生物医学研究和临床研究的公平至关重要。 在乎提高任职人数不足的调查员的留用率和职业发展的两个关键因素 背景是具有类似背景的教师榜样的可用性，并获得强大的 导师制该奖项旨在通过一个全面的 指导和职业发展计划：MPI，斯坦福大学和斯坦利博士是物理学家，科学家 具有多个先前和现有合作的同事，他们在指导和推广方面具有专业知识 多样性他们将领导一个全面的计划，为代表性不足的学者实现三个目标：（1） 提供全面的，多层次的指导，包括强大的教师指导和同行， （2）为研究进展提供指导和技能培养，包括 在指导经验结束时准备R 01或同等补助金申请;以及（3）准备 学者成为导师和学术领袖。该计划的关键组成部分包括每月同行- 指导会议，每月与其中一个MPI单独会议，每季度与近同行会议 导师，参与课程与多个教师发言人，以确保所需的技能补助金 写作，科学交流，学术进步，以及参与更大的学者群体 在这个机制的支持下。在2-3年的指导经验，学者将获得支持 一组同行，与MPI和近同行导师的密切指导关系;克服 学术界的许多挑战，包括来自代表性不足背景的调查人员所特有的挑战; 通过小组和个人指导活动撰写赠款和手稿的技能; 指导和领导能力;以及在职业生涯中向前迈进的愿景和战略。这项建议服务于 NIDDK的使命是支持和促进来自代表性不足背景的学者， 已经NIDDK资助，大大增加了他们在生物医学领域的保留和成功的机会 劳动力
