Program for Advancing Early-Career Researcher Excellence through Leadership and Management Practices

项目摘要 背景：传统的科学培训使研究人员做好进行科学研究的准备，但没有 为职业生涯早期的研究人员做好充分准备，以领导和管理他们自己的实验室。然而，当职业生涯早期 研究人员推出了他们的独立研究实验室，他们的任务是创造一个高效、严谨、 和支持性的研究环境。良好的领导和管理实践可以培养有效的 环境和实验室的成功。相反，管理和领导不善会导致高 人员流失，产量减少，科学严谨和负责任的研究工作出现失误。因此，教育 需要指导，以培养领导力和管理最佳实践。 参与者和计划目标：本计划的总体目标、领导力和管理实践 科学家(LAPS)，将为职业生涯早期的教师制定一个面向全国的培训和指导计划 研究人员推出了他们的独立实验室。该项目培养基本的领导力和管理能力。 技能，并提供实用工具和个性化的实验手册。我们将应用领导层和 管理研究，利用新的培训和指导方法，并吸引研究成员 社区获得反馈，并鼓励他们支持灯具。该计划旨在促进多样性 通过招募和培养生物医学领域历史上代表性不足的群体的成员的职业生涯 科学，并通过在LAMP学者中增加包容性的领导和指导做法。 方法和评估：在5年的过程中，我们将：1)构建创新、协作的数字学习 提供科学的领导力和管理课程以及可扩展的指导的环境，2)试点测试 并细化该计划3)每年招聘100名职业早期研究人员并提供该计划，4)实施 计划外展、传播和可持续发展计划，以及5)评估所有研究教育计划 并追踪灯具学者的职业发展。 团队：一支由产业组织心理学、研究伦理、多样性和 纳入，生物学将制定、实施和评估LAMP计划。 创新和影响：LAMP项目具有很高的创新性，并基于由 我们的团队和有效的教学方法。它由相关的生物医学利益相关者提供信息，并包括 为专业发展提供同伴指导的新方法。新颖、可扩展的数字学习 环境将向全国各地机构的所有初级教职研究人员开放。相关实用工具 领导和管理将推动最佳实践在实验室的应用，加强学者的 能够进行有影响力的研究。反过来，灯将在生物医学领域产生持久的积极影响 研究社区。

Project Summary Background: Traditional scientific training prepares investigators to conduct scientific research, but does not adequately prepare early-career investigators to lead and manage their own labs. Yet, when early-career researchers launch their independent research laboratories, they are tasked with creating a productive, rigorous, and supportive research environment. Good leadership and management practices can cultivate an effective environment and the success of the lab. Conversely, poor management and leadership can result in high turnover, reduced output, and lapses in scientific rigor and responsible conduct of research. Therefore, education and mentoring is needed to foster leadership and management best practices. Participants and Program Aims: The overall goal of this program, Leadership and Management Practices for Scientists (LAMPS), is to develop a nationally accessible training and mentoring program for early-career faculty researchers launching their independent labs. The program develops essential leadership and management skills and provides practical tools and a personalized Lab Manual. We will apply findings from leadership and management research, utilize novel training and mentoring methods, and engage members of the research community to obtain feedback and encourage their support of LAMPS. The program aims to advance diversity by recruiting and fostering the careers of members of historically underrepresented groups in the biomedical sciences, and by increasing inclusive leadership and mentoring practices among LAMPS scholars. Methods and Evaluation: Over the course of 5 years we will: 1) build an innovative, collaborative digital learning environment to deliver a scientific leadership and management curriculum and scalable mentoring, 2) pilot test and refine the program 3) recruit and provide the program to 100 early-career researchers per year, 4) implement program outreach, dissemination, and sustainability plans, and 5) evaluate all research education program components and track the career development of LAMPS scholars. Team: An outstanding team of experts in industrial-organizational psychology, research ethics, diversity and inclusion, and biology will develop, implement, and evaluate the LAMPS program. Innovation and Impact: The LAMPS program is highly innovative and is grounded in research conducted by our team and effective pedagogical methods. It is informed by relevant biomedical stakeholders and includes a novel approach to peer mentoring for professional development. The novel and scalable digital learning environment will be open to all junior faculty researchers at institutions across the nation. Practical tools related to leadership and management will drive application of best practices in the laboratory, strengthening scholars' ability to conduct impactful research. In turn, LAMPS will create a lasting positive impact in the biomedical research community.
