IOS BP: APS IOSP Fellows - Broadening Participation Through Research Experiences and Professional Socialization

美国生理学会(APS)将通过与APS比较和进化生理学分会(CEPS)的成员合作，建立一个从事IOS研究的代表不足(UR)本科生的年度队列，以满足进行综合有机体系统(IOS)生物学研究的生理学家增加多样性的迫切需求。APS将利用其现有计划的优势，为IOS领域增加多样性的特定需求创造长期解决方案。APS IOSP研究员将在夏季进行研究，出席APS会议，通过在线职业发展活动获得技能，并通过APS的社交媒体和生理学理解周成为iOS研究的支持者。APS期待IOSP研究员成为内部监督办公室专业人士的积极参与者，并将评估该奖学金的短期和长期影响。该项目将增加UR学生参与内部监督办公室相关研究的人数；在UR学生和研究人员之间建立一个专业的支持网络；并增加目标学生群体对内部监督办公室职业的了解和兴趣。这些资源将通过APS的NSDL数字图书馆、教学资源档案馆(www.apsfilve.org)免费获取。随着STEM领域的多样性成为国家的当务之急，该项目将创建和评估资源，以提高研究东道主与来自广泛背景和具有不同需求的UR学生合作的技能，并利用资源吸引UR本科生参与研究体验、专业社会化活动，以及作为公众的科学倡导者。这将为其他科学学会在其正在进行的多样性努力中确定和解决具体需求提供一个模式，并将在国际和平倡议会议上与社区分享。

The American Physiological Society (APS) will address critical needs for increased diversity among physiologists conducting integrative organismal systems (IOS) biology research by building an annual cohort of underrepresented (UR) undergraduate students engaged in IOS research working with members of APS' Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section (CEPS).APS will build on the strengths of its existing programs to create long-term solutions to specific needs for increasing diversity in the IOS field. The APS IOSP Fellows will conduct research during the summer, present at APS conferences, gain skills through online professional development activities, and become proponents for IOS research via APS' social media outlets and Physiology Understanding Week. APS expects IOSP Fellows to become active participants in the IOS professional community and will evaluate both short- and long-term impacts of the Fellowship. The project will increase the number of UR students participating in IOS-related research; develop a professional network of support among UR students and researchers; and increase understanding of, and interest in IOS careers among the target group of students.APS will also create a resource collection on supporting students with disabilities in the research lab. The collection will be freely available via APS' NSDL digital library, the Archive of Teaching Resources (www.apsarchive.org).With diversity as a national imperative in STEM fields, this project will create and evaluate resources to improve research hosts' skills in working with UR students from broad backgrounds and with diverse needs and resources for engaging UR undergraduates in research experiences, in professional socialization activities, and as advocates for science to the general public. This will provide a model for other scientific societies in identifying and addressing specific needs in their ongoing diversity efforts, which will be shared with the community at the PI meeting.
