Training and Education to Advance Minority Scholars In Science (TEAM-Science)

描述（由申请人提供）：在其第一个资助周期中，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW）的培训和教育促进少数民族科学学者（团队科学）计划（R25 GM083252）有两个目标，即增加来自代表性不足的少数民族和种族群体（URM）的学生进入并完成生物或行为科学（BBS）博士学位的人数，并增加这些学生追求学术生涯的人数。在社会认知职业理论的指导下，TEAM-Science有五个核心组成部分：1)对研究顾问的导师培训；2)成功学术生涯所需的八项共识衍生的基本能力；3)由高级教师进行职业指导；4)将学生的活动与八项基本能力相结合的个性化职业发展计划；5)SWOT个人职业分析。后三种是结构化的职业干预策略。前三年的数据表明，将理论转化为实践是成功的，期望的中间结果是提高学生的研究自我效能感、积极的结果期望和对研究事业的承诺。在这个团队科学计划的竞争性更新中，我们计划继续这五个组成部分，并扩大我们的重点，包括残疾学生（SWD），这是BBS中另一个代表性不足的群体。这建立在与教师在辅助技术研究和教育计划方面的合作基础上，旨在使残疾学生进入科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域。在这个新的融资周期中，我们有三个具体目标：支持30名学生在BBS学科中连续2年接受博士培训：1年和2年12人，3年和4年12人，5年和6年6人（包括结转）；因此，在资助周期结束时，27名大学管理学院学生和3名社会福利学院学生继续或完成BBS博士课程，使大学管理学院和社会福利学院的总人数分别增加4%和12%。具体目标2。至少有80%的团队科学学者在完成博士学位后进入或渴望进入学术生涯。具体目标3。将团队科学开发和测试的有效策略传播到华盛顿大学及其他研究生多样性项目。团队科学仍然是全面的，组织变革方法的一部分，以增加科学劳动力的多样性，将华盛顿大学作为一个多层次（即个人和机构）干预的“生活实验室”，进行迭代评估和战略传播。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In its first funding cycle, the Training and Education to Advance Minority Scholars in Science (TEAM-Science) Program (R25 GM083252) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) has had the twin goals of increasing the number of students from underrepresented ethnic and racial minority groups (URM) entering and completing a Ph.D. in biological or behavioral science (BBS) and increasing the number of these students who pursue academic careers. Informed by social cognitive career theory, TEAM-Science has five core components: 1) mentor-training for the research advisor, 2) eight consensus-derived fundamental competencies required for a successful academic career, 3) career coaching by a senior faculty member, 4) an individualized career development plan that aligns student's activities with the eight fundamental competencies, and 5) a SWOT personal career analysis. The latter three are structured career intervention strategies. Data from the firs 3 years suggest success in translating theory into practice with the desired intermediate outcomes of increasing students' research self-efficacy, positive outcome expectations, and commitment to a research career. In this competing renewal of the TEAM-Science Program we plan to continue the five components and expand our focus to include students with disabilities (SWD), another underrepresented group in BBS. This builds on collaborations with faculty in assistive technology research and education programs aimed at bringing students with disabilities into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In this new funding cycle, we have three specific aims: Specific Aim 1. To support 30 students for 2 consecutive years each during their doctoral training in a BBS discipline: 12 in years 1&2, 12 in years 3&4, and 6 in years 5&6 including carry-over; so that by the end of the funding cycle 27 URM students and 3 SWD remain in or have completed a BBS PhD program, increasing the overall institutional numbers by 4% for URMS and 12% for SWD. Specific Aim 2. To have at least 80% of TEAM-Science scholars entering or aspiring to enter an academic career at the completion of their doctoral degree. Specific Aim 3. To disseminate effective strategies developed and tested in TEAM-Science to other graduate diversity programs at UW and beyond. TEAM-Science remains part of a comprehensive, organizational change approach to increasing scientific workforce diversity using UW as a "living laboratory" with multi-level (i.e. individual and institutional) interventions that are iteratively evaluated and strategically disseminated.
