JUNIOR RESEARCH INVESTIGATOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM

少数民族卫生职业学校协会(AMHPS)建议 建立一个主要旨在：帮助少数族裔的增强方案 博士后和初级教职员工进入 基础生物医学研究的主流，激发研究兴趣和 为研究领域的培训提供支持。 在研究领域中，少数族裔教员的代表性不足。 由国家心肺血液研究所(NHLBI)代表。 尽管这种情况存在于科学的所有领域，但它通常 我觉得NHLBI提供了一个很好的起点，因为有一个 少数族裔科学家的核心在这一领域接受过培训，他们可以提供 通过这条路线立即产生影响。此外，它是少数人 过度受疾病折磨的美国人口 对NHLBI来说是最重要的。通过这个项目， 少数民族卫生职业学校协会寻求增加 在以下领域积极开展研究和教学的少数群体人数 以国家心肺血为代表的生物医学科学 研究所。与高能力、成熟的个人互动 科学家是年轻人事业成功发展的主要因素 科学家。拟议的计划或研究增强奖将 曝光精选的少数民族博士后和初级教职员工 这些研究领域的最新发展，并刺激他们个人 与该领域广泛领域的科学家进行互动。这个 提案是一种旨在促进这种交互的方法 非正式的和正式的。

The Association for Minority Health Professions Schools (AMHPS) proposes establishing an enhancement program primarily designed to: assist minority post-doctoral students and junior faculty members in entering the mainstream of Basic Biomedical Research, stimulate research interests and provide support for training in the areas of research. There is an under-representation of minority faculty in the research areas as represented by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Although, this condition exists in all areas of science, it is generally felt that the NHLBI provides an excellent starting point because there is a core of minority scientists trained in this area, and they could provide an immediate impact through this route. Additionally, it is the minority population of the United States that is excessively afflicted by diseases that are of primary interest to the NHLBI. Through this program, the Association of Minority Health Professions Schools seeks to increase the number of minorities in active research and teaching in the areas of the biomedical sciences represented by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Personal interaction with highly competent, established scientists is a major factor in successful career development of young scientists. The proposed program or Research Enhancement Awards would expose selected minority post-doctoral students and junior faculty members to recent developments in these research areas and stimulate their personal interaction with a wide cross-section of scientists in the field. The proposal is an approach designed to facilitate this interaction both informally and formally.
