THE HAMPTON NATIONAL RESEARCH MENTORING NETWORK (NRMN) CONSORTIUM

描述（由申请人提供）：该汉普顿国家研究指导网络（NRMN）财团规划补助金的目的是提供一种创新的方法，以网络和指导经验的个人从背景不足的生物医学/行为研究从本科到初级教师的水平。它将汇集成功的，但目前不同的辅导和网络计划，从地理和种族/民族多样化的实体，代表不同的使命和组织目标。拟议的联盟的使命将是招募个人进入生物医学、行为和临床研究企业，以促进在NIH的科学使命范围内，在“实验室和床边”之间双向翻译基础科学发现和临床观察。“联合会的愿景是通过实现以下目标，将良好成果转化为伟大成果。目标1：实施一项为期六个月的规划倡议，引导td汉普顿大学（HU）在高等教育机构、专业协会以及辅导组织之间建立伙伴关系，以创建一个全国性的辅导网络。目标2：评估现有的指导战略，可以有效地协调和交付的国家基础上，并制定新的方案，如有需要。目标3：描述创新的指导方法，包括社交媒体机制，将被纳入五年NRMN奖提案。为实现本报告所述目标，将采用以下方法：（1）将调整具有代表性的民主治理结构，特别强调为决策建立共识;（2）评估辅导对象和辅导员目标社区的辅导需求和循证最佳做法;（3）确定领先的辅导创新;以及（4）设计强大的社交媒体背景，以促进和提供学员对学员和学员对导师网络的访问。实施这些规划补助金活动的结果将提供所需的数据准备一个有竞争力的NRMN辅导补助金申请。总之，完成汉普顿NRMN联盟的愿景将导致独立生物医学研究人员的增加，这将大大有助于未来研究人员的多样性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Hampton National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) Consortium planning grant is designed to provide an innovative approach to networking and mentorship experiences for individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical/behavioral research from the undergraduate to junior-faculty level. It will bring together successful, but currently disparate mentoring and networking programs from geographically and racially/ethnically diverse entities, representing different missions and organizational goals. The mission of the proposed Consortium will be to recruit individuals into the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research enterprise to facilitate translation of fundamental scientific discoveries and clinical observations within NIH's scientific mission bi-directionally between "bench and bedside." The vision of the consortium is to transform good outcomes to great outcomes by implementing the following aims. Aim 1: Implement a six-month planning initiative leading td Hampton University's (HU) establishment of partnerships among institutions of higher learning, professional associations as well as mentoring organizations to create a national mentoring network. Aim 2: Assess existing mentoring strategies that can be effectively coordinated and delivered on a national basis, and develop new programs as needed. Aim 3; Delineate innovative mentoring methods, including social media mechanisms, that will be integrated into the five-year NRMN award proposal. To achieve the aims herein, the following methods will be implemented: (1) a representative democratic governance structure will be adapted with strong emphasis on consensus building for decision-making; (2) assessment of mentoring needs and evidenced-based best practices for the target communities of mentees and mentors; (3) determination of leading edge mentoring innovations; and (4) the design of a strong social media background to facilitate and provide access to mentee-to mentee and mentee-to-mentor networks. The outcomes of implementing these planning grant activities will provide the data needed to prepare a competitive NRMN mentoring grant application. In sum, completing the vision of the Hampton NRMN Consortium will lead to an increase in.the pool of independent biomedical researchers, which will significantly contribute to the diversity of the future research workforce.
