National Research Mentoring Network for a Diverse Biomedical Workforce

有大量证据表明少数群体代表性不足(来自代表性不足的个人 种族和民族群体、残疾人和处境不利的人) 从本科生到教授的生物医学劳动力。尽管几十年来 努力提高少数族裔在美国生物医学劳动力中的比例，某些少数族裔 仍未得到充分代表。到那时，来自弱势背景的学者，无论是种族，民族， 社会经济地位、性取向或残疾都表明他们对 科学，并在系统研究方面取得了一定的熟练程度，这对学术健康事业是必不可少的 在科学领域，他们克服了许多障碍，但仍然背负着不利和歧视的负担。 这项提议寻求支持，以创建多样性生物医学国家研究指导网络 劳动力(NRMN)。NRMN将支持四个核心的活动：专业发展、导师 培训、指导和网络核心，以及将协同工作的管理核心 提高URM在生物医学研究中的代表性和成功率。NRMN将与这两个版本一起工作 和非建设机构，将收集数据并与首席执行官协调。该计划的主要目标是 NRMN将创建一个可持续的架构，以支持和促进利用集体 成功科学家的专业知识，以加速这些研究事业的发展 URM学者。

Substantial evidence exists for the underrepresentation of minorities (individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, people with disabilities, and people from disadvantaged backgrounds) in all levels of the biomedical workforce, from the undergraduate level to the professoriate. Despite several decades of efforts to increase the proportion of minorities in the biomedical workforce in the U.S., certain minorities remain underrepresented. By the time scholars from disadvantaged backgrounds, whether by race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or disability, have both demonstrated that they are curious about science and attained some proficiency at the systematic inquiry essential for a career in academic health sciences, they have overcome many barriers yet still carry the burdens of disadvantage and discrimination. This proposal seeks support to create the National Research Mentoring Network for a Diversity Biomedical Workforce (NRMN). NRMN will support the activities of four Cores: The Professional Development, Mentor Training, Mentorship and Networking Core, and the Administrative Core which will work synergistically to increase the representation and success of URMs in biomedical research. NRMN will work with both BUILD and non-BUILD institutions and will collect data and coordinate with the CEO. The primary objective of the NRMN is to create a sustainable architecture that will support and facilitate harnessing the collective expertise of successful scientists in the interests of accelerating the research career development of these URM scholars.
