DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Women and minorities are underrepresented among the leadership in pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties, including Hematology/Oncology. The American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (ASPHO) is a multidisciplinary organization of members who study and treat childhood cancer and blood disorders. A recent survey of ASPHO members demonstrated that although 44% of the members were women, fewer than 30% of committee and board members are female. Furthermore, according to the survey, 26% of members were classified as non-White/Caucasian. However, approximately 11% of the members of the ASPHO leadership are non-White/Caucasian. These data suggest that minorities are underrepresented in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, but even more, in leadership positions within the society. In this R13 application, we propose to develop a workshop for the annual ASPHO meeting that addresses barriers or obstacles for women and underrepresented minorities to become successful leaders in the field. We hypothesize that greater awareness of these issues will promote diversity among the leadership of ASPHO. We also hypothesize that if we can increase women and underrepresented minorities in leadership positions, this will encourage diversity within the workforce for the next generation of Pediatric Hematologist/Oncologists. The overall objectives of the workshop are to: 1) Provide a national forum for trainees and faculty to address issues related to women and minorities in the field of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. 2) Identify barriers and practical solutions related to women and minorities in the field of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. 3) Invite outside speakers and a panel of experts to share their experiences in their respective positions of leadership in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. 4) Provide opportunities for mentorship between trainees or junior faculty and experienced faculty and leaders in the field. 5) Disseminate information obtained through the workshop to other Pediatric subspecialties both nationally and internationally through publications, meetings, and websites. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Women and minorities are underrepresented among the leadership in pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties, including Hematology/Oncology. The American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (ASPHO) is a multidisciplinary organization in which the members treat and study childhood cancer and blood disorders. In this R13 application, we propose to develop a workshop for the annual ASPHO meeting that addresses barriers or obstacles for women and underrepresented minorities to become successful leaders in the field.

描述（由申请人提供）： 妇女和少数民族在儿科和小儿专科的领导层中的人数不足，包括血液学/肿瘤学。美国儿科血液学/肿瘤学会（Aspho）是一个多学科的组织，由研究和治疗儿童癌症和血液疾病的成员组织。最近对Aspho成员的一项调查表明，尽管有44％的成员是女性，但委员会和董事会成员的不到30％是女性。此外，根据调查，有26％的成员被归类为非白/高加索人。但是，大约有11％的沥青领导成员是非白人/白种人。这些数据表明，少数民族在小儿血液学/肿瘤学中的人数不足，但在社会领导地位上的职位更高。在此R13申请中，我们建议为年度犯罪会议开发一个研讨会，以解决妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的障碍或障碍，以成为该领域的成功领导者。我们假设对这些问题的提高认识将促进沥青领导的多样性。我们还假设，如果我们能够在领导职位上增加妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，这将鼓励下一代儿科血液学家/肿瘤学家的劳动力多样性。研讨会的总体目标是：1）为学员和教职员工提供一个国家论坛，以解决与儿科血液学 - 学领域中与妇女和少数民族有关的问题。 2）确定儿科血液肿瘤学领域与妇女和少数民族有关的障碍和实用解决方案。 3）邀请外部演讲者和专家小组分享他们在小儿血液学肿瘤学领导地位的经验。 4）为学员，初级教师与经验丰富的教职员工和该领域的领导者提供指导的机会。 5）传播通过研讨会获得的信息，通过出版物，会议和网站在国内和国际上向其他儿科亚专家传播。公共卫生相关性：在儿科和儿科亚专科（包括血液学/肿瘤学）领导领导领域的妇女和少数民族的人数不足。美国儿科血液学/肿瘤学会（Aspho）是一个多学科的组织，成员在该组织中治疗和研究儿童时期的癌症和血液疾病。在此R13申请中，我们建议为年度犯罪会议开发一个研讨会，以解决妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的障碍或障碍，以成为该领域的成功领导者。
