Research and Educational Career Development Program for Cell Biologists: An Integrated Approach

美国细胞生物学协会（ASCB）一直处于学科的前沿- 重点社会解决妇女和其他群体代表性不足的问题， 历史上在科学领域的代表性不足。在ASCB内，少数民族事务 MAC（英语：MAC）已率先制定适合发展的综合 为代表性不足群体的科学家提供培训和资源。MAC是一个 ASCB常设委员会。MAC的目标是大幅增加 通过促进少数民族科学家参与社会的各个方面， 少数民族科学家的专业发展和招聘。规模相对较小 对细胞生物学感兴趣的少数民族科学家的人才库要求MAC还 为本科生和研究生制定计划，以帮助他们实现 从事生物医学研究。 MAC的长期目标是为国家努力增加 少数族裔科学家的人数不足。 拟议的ASCB MAC研究和教育职业发展计划， 细胞生物学家：一种综合方法，以帮助扩大参与基础生物医学 对那些在科学事业中一直并仍然代表性不足的人进行研究。它 建立在我们以前的计划性产品的成功基础上。ASCB MAC已经 以其创新的方法而闻名。ASCB被授予总统奖， 2004年在科学、数学和工程指导方面取得优异成绩。ASCB作为 组织，通过确保下一代科学家是 欢迎加入协会，因为成员的多样性将增强其稳定性 并将为顶尖的生物医学科学家提供一个展示他们科学的场所。

The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) has been at the vanguard of discipline- focused societies in addressing the underrepresentation of women and other groups who have historically been underrepresented in sciences. Within the ASCB, the Minorities Affairs Committee (MAC) has taken the lead in developing integrated developmentally appropriate training and access to resources for scientists from underrepresented groups. The MAC is a standing committee of ASCB. The MAC has as its goal to significantly increase the involvement of underrepresented minority scientists in all aspects of the Society by promoting the professional development and recruiting of minority scientists. The relatively small size of the pool of minority scientists with an interest in cell biology requires that the MAC also develop programs for undergraduate and graduate students to assist them in achieving careers in biomedical research. The long-range goal of the MAC is to contribute to the Nation’s effort to increase the number of underrepresented minority scientists. The proposed ASCB MAC Research and Educational Career Development Program for Cell Biologists: An Integrated Approach to help broaden participation in basic biomedical research of people who have been and remain underrepresented in the scientific enterprise. It builds on the success of our previous programmatic offerings. ASCB MAC has been recognized for its innovative approaches. ASCB was awarded a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring in 2004. The ASCB, as an organization, has much to gain by assuring that the next generation of scientists is welcomed into the Society because diversity in the membership will enhance its stability and will provide a venue for the top biomedical scientists to present their science.
