Training & Education to Advance Minorities in Science (TEAM-Science)

描述（由申请人提供）：威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW）培训和教育的目标，以促进少数民族学者在科学（团队科学）计划是通过以下具体目标增加生物医学和行为研究劳动力的多样性：（1）增加代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生进入和完成（>90%）博士学位的人数。在一个团队科学参与博士课程;（2）增加URM研究生谁追求学术生涯的数量;和（3）开发和领导研讨会，旨在研究生招生委员会，利用现有的研究证据，以消除一些假设，刻板印象和神话，不利代表性不足的少数民族学生在学术生涯的进步。 团队科学将协同桥梁三个学术课程：研究生工程研究学者计划，这是校园里最成功的少数民族研究生培训计划;妇女健康研究中心，该中心系统地建立了教育和职业发展计划，旨在增加性别和种族/种族多样性的学术领导;和内分泌生殖生理学研究生课程，其中有一个致力于团队科学目标的优秀生物医学科学家的干部。团队科学将进一步受益于纳入和建立在由妇女在科学和工程领导研究所（WISELI）通过NSF先进的机构转型计划，并从与威斯康星州科学教学计划合作，通过威斯康星州指导研讨会培训团队科学导师有效的指导机构转型的成功战略。评估将嵌入所有团队科学活动;它将包括程序的过程和结果评估以及使用8个核心能力的框架对个别学生进行评估，这些核心能力被确定为任何学科的研究生推进学术生涯所必需的。 该提案是为了响应NIH最大化学生多样性倡议（IMSD，PAR-06-553）而提交的。专注于研究生培训，团队科学计划将是一个更全面，纵向和系统的方法，以增加性别和民族/种族多样性的一部分，使我们的学生，工作人员和教师准确地反映我们国家的人口多样性。团队科学计划的主要研究者（PI）和合作研究者（co-I）是这些努力的校园领导者之一。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) Training and Education to Advance Minority Scholars in Science (TEAM-Science) Program are to increase the diversity of the biomedical and behavioral research workforce through the following specific aims: (1) increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students entering and completing (>90%) a Ph.D. in a TEAM-Science participating doctoral program; (2) increase the number of URM graduate students who pursue academic careers; and (3) develop and lead workshops aimed at graduate admissions committees that use existing research evidence to dispel some of the assumptions, stereotypes, and myths that disadvantage underrepresented minority students in academic career advancement. TEAM-Science will synergistically bridge three academic programs: the Graduate Engineering Research Scholars Program, which is the most successful minority graduate training program on campus; the Center for Women's Health Research, which has systematically built education and career development programs aimed at increasing the gender and ethnic/racial diversity of academic leadership; and the Endocrinology-Reproductive Physiology graduate program, which has a cadre of outstanding biomedical scientists committed to the TEAM-Science goals. TEAM-Science will further benefit from incorporating and building on the successful strategies for institutional transformation launched by the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI) through the NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Program, and from collaborating with the Wisconsin Program for Scientific Teaching to train TEAM-Science mentors in effective mentoring through the Wisconsin Mentoring Seminar. Evaluation will be embedded in all TEAM-Science activities; it will include process and outcome evaluation of the program as well as evaluation of the individual students using a framework of 8 core competencies identified as being necessary for graduate students from any discipline to advance toward an academic career. This proposal is submitted in response to the NIH Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD, PAR-06-553). Focused on graduate training, the TEAM-Science Program will be part of a more comprehensive, longitudinal and systemic approach to increasing the gender and ethnic/racial diversity at UW so that our students, staff, and faculty accurately reflect the demographic diversity of our nation. The principal investigator (PI) and co-investigators (co-I) of the TEAM-Science Program are among campus leaders in these efforts.
