Training & Education to Advance Minorities in Science (TEAM-Science)

描述(由申请人提供)：威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校(UW)培训和教育促进少数民族科学(团队科学)计划的目标是通过以下具体目标增加生物医学和行为研究劳动力的多样性：(1)增加未被充分代表的少数民族(URM)学生进入并完成(&gt；90%)团队科学博士课程的数量；(2)增加URM研究生追求学术生涯的数量；以及(3)开发和领导针对研究生招生委员会的研讨会，这些委员会利用现有的研究证据来消除一些假设、刻板印象和神话，这些假设、刻板印象和神话在学术生涯发展中对未被充分代表的少数族裔学生不利。 Team-Science将协同桥梁三个学术计划：研究生工程研究学者计划，这是校园内最成功的少数族裔研究生培训计划；妇女健康研究中心，它系统地建立了旨在增加学术领导的性别和民族/种族多样性的教育和职业发展计划；以及内分泌学-生殖生理学研究生计划，其拥有一批致力于团队科学目标的杰出生物医学科学家。团队科学将进一步受益于纳入和建立女性科学与工程领导学院(WISELI)通过NSF高级机构转型计划发起的机构转型的成功战略，以及通过威斯康星州指导研讨会与威斯康星州科学教学计划合作培训团队科学导师进行有效指导。评估将被嵌入到所有的团队科学活动中；它将包括对项目的过程和结果的评估，以及使用被确定为任何学科的研究生迈向学术生涯所必需的8项核心能力的框架对个别学生的评估。 本提案是为响应美国国立卫生研究院学生多样性最大化倡议(IMSD，PAR-06-553)而提出的。以研究生培训为重点的团队科学计划将是更全面、更纵向和更系统的方法的一部分，以增加威斯康星州大学的性别和种族/种族多样性，使我们的学生、教职员工和教职员工准确地反映我们国家的人口多样性。团队科学计划的首席调查员(PI)和联合调查员(co-I)是这些努力的校园领导者之一。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) Training and Education to Advance Minority Scholars in Science (TEAM-Science) Program are to increase the diversity of the biomedical and behavioral research workforce through the following specific aims: (1) increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students entering and completing (>90%) a Ph.D. in a TEAM-Science participating doctoral program; (2) increase the number of URM graduate students who pursue academic careers; and (3) develop and lead workshops aimed at graduate admissions committees that use existing research evidence to dispel some of the assumptions, stereotypes, and myths that disadvantage underrepresented minority students in academic career advancement. TEAM-Science will synergistically bridge three academic programs: the Graduate Engineering Research Scholars Program, which is the most successful minority graduate training program on campus; the Center for Women's Health Research, which has systematically built education and career development programs aimed at increasing the gender and ethnic/racial diversity of academic leadership; and the Endocrinology-Reproductive Physiology graduate program, which has a cadre of outstanding biomedical scientists committed to the TEAM-Science goals. TEAM-Science will further benefit from incorporating and building on the successful strategies for institutional transformation launched by the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI) through the NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Program, and from collaborating with the Wisconsin Program for Scientific Teaching to train TEAM-Science mentors in effective mentoring through the Wisconsin Mentoring Seminar. Evaluation will be embedded in all TEAM-Science activities; it will include process and outcome evaluation of the program as well as evaluation of the individual students using a framework of 8 core competencies identified as being necessary for graduate students from any discipline to advance toward an academic career. This proposal is submitted in response to the NIH Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD, PAR-06-553). Focused on graduate training, the TEAM-Science Program will be part of a more comprehensive, longitudinal and systemic approach to increasing the gender and ethnic/racial diversity at UW so that our students, staff, and faculty accurately reflect the demographic diversity of our nation. The principal investigator (PI) and co-investigators (co-I) of the TEAM-Science Program are among campus leaders in these efforts.
