Conference: Botany 2022, PUI Section: Careers and Mentorship at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions

公立和私立文理学院、社区学院和分校(统称为PUI)本科生研究人员的教师导师培训了美国一半以上的本科生STEM专业。扩大对植物科学、生物多样性科学和相关学科的参与，需要招聘和留住教师导师，其导师战略对不同背景的学生有效。针对现有和未来的PUI教师的多种培训经验将与植物学2022会议一起举行，目的是扩大对该学科的参与并支持本科水平的STEM教育。植物学2022将支持一个由三个不同活动组成的计划。首先，将提供一个为期半天的研讨会，参与者将接受包容性指导战略的培训，以支持成功的本科生研究经验。研讨会参与者将探讨他们的社会身份如何影响导师-学员关系，并将学习如何帮助学生成为导师关系中的积极贡献者，并发展一种导师马赛克以支持他们的成功。其次，将召开一个面向研究生、博士后和他们的教师导师的关于申请和面试PUIS职位的职业小组。最后，PUIS将为所有对植物学感兴趣的教职员工和个人举行一次网络活动，以帮助发展本地和学科网络，以支持本科生研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Faculty mentors of undergraduate researchers at public and private liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and branch campuses (collectively, PUIs) train over half the undergraduate STEM majors in the United States. Broadening participation in plant sciences, biodiversity sciences, and related disciplines requires recruiting and retaining faculty mentors with mentoring strategies that are effective for students from diverse backgrounds. Multiple training experiences for current and prospective PUI faculty will be held in conjunction with the BOTANY 2022 meeting, with the aims of broadening participation in the discipline and supporting STEM education at the undergraduate level.A program of three, varied events at BOTANY 2022 will be supported. First, a half-day workshop in which participants receive training in inclusive mentoring strategies that support successful undergraduate research experiences, will be offered. Workshop participants will explore how their social identities influence the mentor-mentee relationship and will learn how to help students become active contributors in the mentoring relationship and develop a mentoring mosaic to support their success. Second, a career panel on applying to and interviewing for positions at PUIs, intended for graduate students, postdocs, and their faculty mentors, will be convened. Finally, a networking event for all faculty and individuals interested in botany at PUIs will be held to aid in developing local and disciplinary networks for post-meeting collaborations in support of undergraduate research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
