National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) Coordination Center

摘要 生物医学、临床、行为和社会科学家以及来自不同领域的实习生的参与 背景对科学事业的进步至关重要。美国国立卫生研究院 多样性计划联盟(DPC)成立于2014年，旨在促进有关如何增强 生物医学研究队伍的多样性，通过开发、实施、评估和 传播创新和可持续的学生参与、培训和指导方法，以及教职员工 发展、机构研究和培训基础设施。国家研究指导网络 自DPC成立以来，(NRMN)一直是DPC的主要组成部分。在第二阶段，NRMN协调中心 将设立为NRMN资源中心提供管理、数据和通信支持 和一个独立研究项目联盟，专注于导师制的科学，专业人士 通过培育灵活而高效的组织结构来促进发展和联网 DPC的研究议程。具体而言，NRMN协调中心将(A)建立和监督NRMN 管理团队、NRMN组织及其利用组织的包容性实践社区 最佳做法方法，(B)创建基础设施，以支持实质性的协调、收集、存储、 利用简化和实用的办法，跟踪和报告所有自然资源管理网络数据，以及(C)执行 以证据为基础的响应性沟通战略，将有效和高效地建立 包容性实践，促进协同作用和研究创新，并传播NRMN的主要研究成果。这些 活动将有助于催化和支持NRMN调查人员之间的协同互动， DPC的协调和评估中心(CEC)团队，以及更广泛的国家研究人员和 致力于使生物医学研究队伍多样化的从业者。重要的是，NRMN协调中心 将灵活地回应不同实践社区的需求和反馈，包括国家卫生研究院 和公众，同时为培养创造力、协同效应和可持续性提供明确的结构和程序。

Abstract The engagement of biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social scientists, as well as trainees, from diverse backgrounds is critical to the advancement of the scientific enterprise. The National Institutes of Health’s Diversity Program Consortium (DPC) was established in 2014 to advance knowledge regarding how to enhance diversity in the biomedical research workforce through the development, implementation, assessment, and dissemination of innovative and sustainable approaches to student engagement, training and mentoring, faculty development, and institutional research training infrastructure. The National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) has been a major component of the DPC since its inception. In phase 2, an NRMN Coordination Center will be established to provide administration, data, and communication support to the NRMN Resource Center and a consortium of independent research projects focused on the science of mentorship, professional development, and networking by fostering a nimble yet efficient organizational structure that advances the research agenda of the DPC. Specifically, the NRMN Coordination Center will (a) build and oversee the NRMN Administrative Team, the NRMN organization, and its communities of inclusive practice utilizing organizational best practice approaches, (b) create the infrastructure to support substantial coordination, collection, storage, tracking, and reporting of all NRMN data, utilizing streamlined and functional approaches, and (c) implement evidence-based, responsive communication strategies that will effectively and efficiently build communities of inclusive practice, foster synergy and research innovations, and disseminate NRMN’s key findings. These activities will contribute to catalyzing and supporting synergistic interactions among the NRMN investigators, the DPC’s Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC) team, and the wider national community of researchers and practitioners working to diversify the biomedical research workforce. Importantly, the NRMN Coordination Center will be flexible and responsive to the needs and feedback of diverse communities of practice, including the NIH and the public, while providing clear structure and processes for cultivating creativity, synergy, and sustainability.
