Training and Education to Advance Minority Scholars In Science (TEAM-Science)

描述（由申请人提供）：在其第一个资助周期，培训和教育，以促进少数民族学者在科学（团队科学）计划（R25 GM 083252）在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW）有增加学生人数的双重目标从代表性不足的民族和种族少数群体（URM）进入并完成博士学位。在生物或行为科学（BBS），并增加这些学生谁追求学术生涯的数量。根据社会认知职业理论，TEAM-Science有五个核心组成部分：1）研究顾问的导师培训，2）成功的学术生涯所需的八种共识衍生的基本能力，3）由高级教师进行职业指导，4）将学生的活动与八种基本能力相结合的个性化职业发展计划，以及5）SWOT个人职业分析。后三种是结构化的职业干预战略。前3年的数据表明，成功地将理论转化为实践，并取得了预期的中间成果，即提高学生的研究自我效能感，积极的结果预期和对研究事业的承诺。在这个团队科学计划的竞争更新，我们计划继续五个组成部分，并扩大我们的重点，包括残疾学生（社署），另一个在BBS代表性不足的群体。这建立在与教师合作的辅助技术研究和教育计划的基础上，旨在将残疾学生带入科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）。在这个新的融资周期中，我们有三个具体目标：具体目标1。支持30名学生连续2年在BBS学科博士培训期间：12年1和2，12年3和4，6年5和6，包括结转;以便在资助周期结束时，27名URM学生和3名社署学生继续或完成BBS博士课程，增加院舍数目，市区重建管理系统的院舍数目增加4%，而社署的院舍数目则增加12%。具体目标2。至少有80%的团队科学学者在完成博士学位后进入或渴望进入学术生涯。具体目标3。传播有效的战略开发和测试团队科学在UW和超越其他研究生多样性计划。团队科学仍然是一个全面的，组织变革方法的一部分，以增加科学劳动力的多样性使用UW作为一个“活实验室”与多层次（即个人和机构）的干预措施，反复评估和战略传播。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In its first funding cycle, the Training and Education to Advance Minority Scholars in Science (TEAM-Science) Program (R25 GM083252) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) has had the twin goals of increasing the number of students from underrepresented ethnic and racial minority groups (URM) entering and completing a Ph.D. in biological or behavioral science (BBS) and increasing the number of these students who pursue academic careers. Informed by social cognitive career theory, TEAM-Science has five core components: 1) mentor-training for the research advisor, 2) eight consensus-derived fundamental competencies required for a successful academic career, 3) career coaching by a senior faculty member, 4) an individualized career development plan that aligns student's activities with the eight fundamental competencies, and 5) a SWOT personal career analysis. The latter three are structured career intervention strategies. Data from the firs 3 years suggest success in translating theory into practice with the desired intermediate outcomes of increasing students' research self-efficacy, positive outcome expectations, and commitment to a research career. In this competing renewal of the TEAM-Science Program we plan to continue the five components and expand our focus to include students with disabilities (SWD), another underrepresented group in BBS. This builds on collaborations with faculty in assistive technology research and education programs aimed at bringing students with disabilities into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In this new funding cycle, we have three specific aims: Specific Aim 1. To support 30 students for 2 consecutive years each during their doctoral training in a BBS discipline: 12 in years 1&2, 12 in years 3&4, and 6 in years 5&6 including carry-over; so that by the end of the funding cycle 27 URM students and 3 SWD remain in or have completed a BBS PhD program, increasing the overall institutional numbers by 4% for URMS and 12% for SWD. Specific Aim 2. To have at least 80% of TEAM-Science scholars entering or aspiring to enter an academic career at the completion of their doctoral degree. Specific Aim 3. To disseminate effective strategies developed and tested in TEAM-Science to other graduate diversity programs at UW and beyond. TEAM-Science remains part of a comprehensive, organizational change approach to increasing scientific workforce diversity using UW as a "living laboratory" with multi-level (i.e. individual and institutional) interventions that are iteratively evaluated and strategically disseminated.
