Diversity Resources for Enrichment, Access & Mentoring

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是获得FASEB的“丰富多样性资源，访问和指导”（梦想）计划的持续支持。该提案的总体最终目标是通过为URM学生，博士后和教师提供资源，计划和机会，帮助他们准备成为具有竞争力和生产力的科学家，并获得和参与前沿生物医学和行为研究，以帮助增加训练有素的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）科学家的数量。目前的目标是继续和扩大FASEB在1981年通过NIGMS/NIH的支持实施的DREAM活动，作为MARC计划的一部分。FASEB提出了四（4）在未来五（5）年的主要创新活动：1）提供关键的培训，在研究生涯中的专业成功的主要决定因素，资助和出版，通过赞助培训研讨会的资助和出版物为URM教师，博士后，研究生和教师在少数民族机构。该研讨会计划将侧重于granitarian和手稿写作技能和技术的发展，这是必不可少的发展思路和研究成功的赠款申请和出版物。2)为了提高URM学生，博士后和教师通过出席生物医学科学会议的主要途径科学话语的访问，为学生，博士后和教师在少数民族机构，和URM学生，博士后和教师多数机构提供旅行奖励。3)为URM研究生，博士后和教师提供参与小型专业夏季研究会议的机会，提供旅行奖励，以帮助支持URM参与会议。4)通过为FASEB协会的多样性计划活动提供支持，帮助促进URM学生，博士后和科学家进入基础科学界的主流，这些活动旨在增加URM FASEB协会成员的网络，演示和合作研究机会。 相关性（参见说明）：这些活动有助于发展和提高URM学生，博士后和教师的知识视野，准备和竞争力。他们发起和加强沟通与合作，开辟新的前景和机会，增加与一流的研究项目继续互动的可能性，并有助于刺激和支持学生，博士后和教师在他们的奖学金和研究事业的追求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to obtain continued support for FASEB's "Diversity Resources for Enrichment, Access & Mentoring" (DREAM) program. The overarching ultimate goal of this proposal is to assist in increasing the number of well-trained underrepresented minority (URM) scientists in the biomedical and behavioral disciplines by providing URM students, post doctorates and faculty with resources, programs and opportunities to help prepare them to become competitive and productive scientists, and to gain access to and participate in cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research. The immediate objective is to continue and expand FASEB's DREAM activities implemented in 1981 through the support of NIGMS/NIH, as part of the MARC program. FASEB proposes four (4) major innovative activities for the next five (5) years: 1) To provide critical training in the major determinants of professional success in research careers, funding and publishing by sponsoring training seminars on grantsmanship and publications for URM faculty, post- doctorates, graduate students and faculty at minority institutions. The seminar programs will focus on the development of grantsmanship and manuscript writing skills and techniques that are essential to develop ideas and research into successful grant applications and publications. 2) To enhance access for URM students, post doctorates and faculty to the major avenues for scientific discourse through the attendance of biomedical scientific meetings by providing travel awards for students, post doctorates and faculty at minority institutions, and URM students, post doctorates and faculty majority institutions. 3) To provide opportunities for URM graduate students, post doctorates and faculty for engagement at small professional summer research conferences by providing travel awards to help support URM participation in the conferences. 4) To help promote the entry of URM students, post doctorates and scientists into the mainstream of the basic sciences community by providing support for FASEB Societies' diversity program activities designed to in-crease networking, presentation and collaborative research opportunities for URM FASEB Society members. RELEVANCE (See instructions): These activities serve to develop and enhance the intellectual horizons, preparedness and competitiveness of URM students, post doctorates and faculty. They initiate and enhance communication and cooperation, open new vistas and opportunities, increase the likelihood of continuing interactions with top-flight research programs, and serve to stimulate and support students, post doctorates and faculty members in their pursuit of scholarship and research careers.
