Professional Development for Emerging Neuroscientists

该奖项提供了补充援助，以提高研究伦理和专业价值观培训的数量和质量，在一个月的丰富计划与少数民族学生在神经科学的小团体，并增加受训人员的数量。 这项工作的前提是，优势来自于将伦理学置于新兴科学家必须从事的标准活动的背景下-准备出版手稿，公开展示结果，寻找和维持就业，教学以及审查赠款和论文。 少数民族学生需要这些曝光一样多，他们的大多数同龄人，以及额外的技能，以实现在可能包含种族和民族歧视的环境中的专业成功。 此外，在科学不端行为的报告并不少见的情况下，参与科学行为的人必须采取主动，带来积极的变化。 研讨会在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室举行。 自1991年以来，它已经纳入了明确的培训，在负责任的科学行为和其他学术生存技能。 讲习班有四个相互交织的部分：（a）关于道德和生存技能的正式指导，（B）关于少数群体和妇女的具体问题的广泛讨论，（c）由讲习班教员、客座演讲人和MBL社区成员领导的小组研究讨论，（d）参加作为MBL暑期课程一部分的系列讲座。 将在各种论坛上对结果进行评价和传播。

This award provides supplemental assistance to increase the amount and quality of training in research ethics and professional values in a one-month enrichment program with small groups of underrepresented minority students in neuroscience, and to increase the number of trainees. The premise of the effort is that advantages derive from placing ethics within the context of the standard activities in which emerging scientists must engage -- preparing manuscripts for publication, presenting results in public, finding and maintaining employment, teaching, and reviewing grants and papers. Minority students need these exposures as much as their majority peers, and additional skills with which to achieve professional success in an environment that may contain racial and ethnic discrimination. Furthermore, in a climate where reports of scientific misconduct are not infrequent, those involved in the conduct of science must take the initiative to bring about positive change. The workshop occurs at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Since 1991, it has incorporated explicit training in responsible scientific conduct and other academic survival skills. The workshop has four interwoven parts: (a) formal instruction in ethics and survival skills, (b) extended discussions of specific issues concerning minorities and women, (c) small-group research discussions led by workshop faculty, visiting speakers, and members of the MBL community, and (d) attendance in a lecture series that is part of one of the MBL summer courses. Results will be evaluated and disseminated in a variety of forums.
