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）： 女性和少数族裔在儿科和儿科亚专业（包括血液学/肿瘤学）的领导层中所占比例不足。美国儿科血液学/肿瘤学会 (ASPHO) 是一个由研究和治疗儿童癌症和血液疾病的成员组成的多学科组织。最近对 ASPHO 成员的一项调查显示，尽管 44% 的成员是女性，但委员会和董事会成员中女性的比例不到 30%。此外，根据调查，26% 的成员被归类为非白人/白人。然而，大约 11% 的 ASPHO 领导层成员不是白人/白人。这些数据表明，少数族裔在儿科血液学/肿瘤学领域的代表性不足，但在社会领导职位上的代表性更为不足。在此 R13 应用程序中，我们建议为年度 ASPHO 会议开发一个研讨会，以解决女性和代表性不足的少数群体成为该领域成功领导者的障碍或障碍。我们假设，提高对这些问题的认识将促进 ASPHO 领导层的多元化。我们还假设，如果我们能够增加女性和代表性不足的少数族裔担任领导职务，这将鼓励下一代儿科血液学家/肿瘤学家的劳动力队伍的多样性。研讨会的总体目标是： 1) 为学员​​和教员提供一个全国论坛，以解决儿科血液学-肿瘤学领域与妇女和少数民族相关的问题。 2) 确定儿科血液肿瘤学领域与女性和少数族裔相关的障碍和实际解决方案。 3) 邀请外部演讲者和专家小组分享他们在儿科血液肿瘤学领域各自领导职位的经验。 4) 为实习生或初级教师与该领域经验丰富的教师和领导者提供指导机会。 5) 通过出版物、会议和网站向国内和国际其他儿科亚专业传播通过研讨会获得的信息。公共卫生相关性：在儿科和儿科亚专业（包括血液学/肿瘤学）的领导层中，女性和少数族裔的代表性不足。美国儿科血液学/肿瘤学会 (ASPHO) 是一个多学科组织，其成员治疗和研究儿童癌症和血液疾病。在此 R13 应用程序中，我们建议为年度 ASPHO 会议开发一个研讨会，以解决女性和代表性不足的少数群体成为该领域成功领导者的障碍或障碍。
