THE NATIONAL WEB SITE FOR MINORITY SCIENTISTS

超出所提供的空间。这项提案回应了有充分证据证明的需要，即在生物医学科学领域增加非裔美国人、拉丁裔美国人和美洲土著科学家中成功的代表性不足的少数群体的人数。该计划是将一个现有的网站Just Garcia Hill科学网站（JGH, www.iustgarciahill.org）提高到一个面向未被充分代表的少数族裔科学家和未来科学家的全国性网站的水平。这个虚拟社区关注少数民族在生物医学科学研究中的发展。该网站包含促进协作、联网、沟通和指导的机制。我们将与国家科学专业协会合作开发网站，包括Sigma Xi，科学研究协会（http://www.sigmaxi.org1）和几个主要科学专业协会的少数民族事务委员会。该项目的一个重要组成部分是完成一个包含代表性不足的少数民族科学家和有抱负的科学家的在线数据库。尽管未被充分代表的少数民族科学家和学生的总数很少，但开发一个全面的数据库是具有挑战性的，迄今为止，甚至连政府机构和专业协会都没有参与。该网站的一些预期成果如下：a)扩大代表性不足的少数民族生物医学科学家的在线数据库；B)开发一个互动网络，供科学家合作、交流和参与指导活动；C)促进少数民族科学家特别感兴趣的会议和专题讨论会；D)出版少数族裔科学家的传记，他们将成为榜样、演讲者和顾问；E)促进少数民族事务委员会和若干国家专业学会的讲习班的活动，扩大少数民族科学家接触更广泛网络的机会；F)为少数民族科学家提供工作机会、暑期实习机会和研究机会；G)通过提供在线文本和视频摘要，扩大专业学会年度专题讨论会和会议中的主要研讨会和讲习班的影响；H)发展在线机制，供少数民族科学家进行投票和讨论；i)出版少数族裔科学家感兴趣的电子杂志。我们期望在这些活动中有可衡量的增加，并计划在赠款期间经常评估我们战略的效力。这种协调一致的国家努力将补充个别专业学会的努力，以增加在科学研究中获得成功的少数群体的人数。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This proposal responds to a well-documented need to increase the number of successful underrepresented minorities, among African American, Latino and Native American scientists in the biomedical sciences. The plan is to improve an existing web site, the Just Garcia Hill Science Web Site (JGH, www.iustgarciahill.org) to the level of a national web site for underrepresented minority scientists and would-be scientists. This virtual community focuses on the development of minorities in biomedical science research. The site contains mechanisms to facilitate collaboration, networking, communication and mentoring. We shall develop the site collaboratively with national scientific professional societies including Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society (http://www.sigmaxi.org1 and the minority affairs committees of several major scientific professional societies. An important component of this project is to complete an on-line database containing under-represented minority scientists and aspiring scientists. Although the total number of under-represented minority scientists and students is small, developing a comprehensive database is challenging, and it has eluded even government agencies and professional societies to date. Some of the expected outcomes of the proposed site are as follows: a) expansion of the on-line database of underrepresented minority biomedical scientists; b) development of an interactive network for scientists to collaborate, communicate and participate in mentoring activities; c) promotion of conferences and symposia of particular interest to minority scientists; d) publication of biographies of minority scientists who will serve as role models, speakers and consultants; e) promotion of the activities of the minority affairs committees and workshops of several national professional societies, and expansion of access to a wider network of minority scientists; f) posting of job opportunities, summer traineeships and research opportunities for minority scientists; g) extension of the impact of major seminars and workshops in annual symposia and meetings of the professional societies by providing on-line text a:nd video summaries; h) development of on-line mechanisms for polling and discussion among minority scientists; and i) publication of an electronic magazine of interest to minority scientists. We expect measurable increases in these activities and plan frequent evaluation of the efficacy of our strategies during the period of the grant. This coordinated national effort will complement the efforts of individual professional societies to increase the number of successful underreoresented minorities in science research.
