Participation of NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellows in the Institute for Teaching and Mentoring, October 2004, Atlanta GA

这项行动资助70名国家科学基金会少数族裔博士后参加由教师多样性契约（新英格兰高等教育委员会、南部地区教育委员会和西部州际高等教育委员会之间的伙伴关系）赞助的年度国家教学和指导研究所。《教员多样性契约》（CFD）解决了高等院校少数族裔教员代表性不足这一严重而长期的问题。CFD在增加获得博士学位和进入教职岗位的少数族裔人数方面有着良好的记录。教学与指导研究所为NSF少数族裔研究员提供了一个机会，参加一个非常成功的论坛，以学习教学和研究作为职业，网络，分享信息，职业定位，并确定榜样和导师。

This action funds the participation of up to 70 NSF Minority Postdoctoral Fellows in the annual national Institute for Teaching and Mentoring sponsored by the Compact for Faculty Diversity (a partnership between the New England Board of Higher Education, the Southern Regional Education Board, and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education). The Compact for Faculty Diversity (CFD) addresses the serious and chronic problem of the under-representation of minority faculty in institutions of higher learning. CFD has a proven track record of increasing the number of minorities earning the doctorate and entering faculty positions. The Institute for Teaching and Mentoring provides an opportunity for NSF Minority Fellows to attend a highly successful forum for learning about teaching and research as a career, networking, sharing information, career positioning, and identifying role models and mentors.
