Research Enhancement for Minority Scientists

[9313895] Wyche许多原因导致少数民族在生物科学的重要领域代表性不足。造成这种现象的一个主要因素是，大量有能力的少数民族没有机会在最好的学术机构接受高水平的教育培训，也没有充分接触到高素质的科学家和研究实验室。为了纠正这些不足，美国细胞生物学学会（ASCB）的少数民族事务委员会（MAC）制定了以下目标：1、向来自少数和多数机构的未被充分代表的少数民族提供旅费资助，以参加ASCB的年度会议，为受助人提供参加专题讨论会、讲习班、海报会议的机会，并与同行和ASCB的主要科学家互动；2、为少数民族学生和科学家提供学费、实验费、住宿费和交通费支持，让他们到高质量的学术场所参加学术和/或技术课程和研讨会，如海洋生物实验室和星期五海港实验室暑期课程；3、支持暑期实习生和客座教授在研究实验室提供最先进的细胞和分子生物学项目；4、支持参加年会的ASCB少数民族迎新会、小型科学研讨会、年会期间ASCB年度早餐会；5 .提供资金，支持科学与技术委员会执行办公室提供的基本秘书和管理服务，并提供印刷费，以便向科学界通报代表性不足的少数群体的机会。许多原因导致少数民族在生物科学的重要领域代表性不足。造成这种现象的一个主要因素是，大量有能力的少数民族没有机会在最好的学术机构接受高水平的教育培训，也没有充分接触到高素质的科学家和研究实验室。为了纠正这些不足，美国细胞生物学学会（ASCB）的少数民族事务委员会（MAC）制定了以下目标：1、向来自少数和多数机构的未被充分代表的少数民族提供旅费资助，以参加ASCB的年度会议，为受助人提供参加专题讨论会、讲习班、海报会议的机会，并与同行和ASCB的主要科学家互动；2、为少数民族学生和科学家提供学费、实验费、住宿费和交通费支持，让他们到高质量的学术场所参加学术和/或技术课程和研讨会，如海洋生物实验室和星期五海港实验室暑期课程；3、支持暑期实习生和客座教授在研究实验室提供最先进的细胞和分子生物学项目；4、支持参加年会的ASCB少数民族迎新会、小型科学研讨会、年会期间ASCB年度早餐会；5 .提供资金，支持科学与技术委员会执行办公室提供的基本秘书和管理服务，并提供印刷费，以便向科学界通报代表性不足的少数群体的机会。＊＊＊

9313895 Wyche Many reasons account for the underrepresentation of minorities in important fields of biological sciences. A major contributing factor has been the paucity of opportunities for significant numbers of competent minorities to receive high caliber educational training at the best academic institutions, and insufficient exposure to high caliber scientists and research laboratories. In an effort to correct some of these deficiencies, the Minorities Affairs Committee (MAC) of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) has set forth the following objectives: 1, to provide travel grants to underrepresented minorities from minority and majority institutions to attend the annual meeting of the ASCB, which provides recipients with the opportunity to attend symposia, workshops, poster sessions, and to interact with peers and leading ASCB scientists; 2, to provide tuition, laboratory fees, housing and travel support to minority students and scientists to attend academic and/or technical courses and workshops at high quality academic sites such as the Marine Biological Laboratory and Friday Harbor Laboratory summer courses; 3, to support summer trainees and visiting professors in research laboratories offering state-of-the- art programs in cell and molecular biology; 4, to support orientation meetings of the ASCB minorities attending the annual meeting, mini-scientific symposia and workshops, and an annual ASCB breakfast meeting during the annual meeting; 5, to provide funds to support essential secretarial and managerial services provided by the ASCB executive office and printing costs to inform the scientific community of opportunitites for underrepresented minorities. *** 9313895 Wyche Many reasons account for the underrepresentation of minorities in important fields of biological sciences.
