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受训人员的参与 背景对科学事业的发展至关重要。美国国立卫生研究院 多样性计划联盟（DPC）成立于2014年，旨在促进有关如何提高 生物医学研究人员的多样性，通过开发，实施，评估， 传播创新和可持续的方法，以学生参与，培训和指导，教师 发展和机构研究培训基础设施。国家研究指导网络 （NRMN）自成立以来一直是DPC的主要组成部分。在第二阶段，NRMN协调中心 将建立一个为自然资源管理网资源中心提供管理、数据和通信支持的中心 和一个独立的研究项目联盟，专注于指导科学，专业 发展和网络，通过培养一个灵活而有效的组织结构， DPC的研究议程。具体而言，NRMN协调中心将（a）建立和监督NRMN 行政团队，NRMN组织，及其社区的包容性实践，利用组织 最佳实践方法，（B）创建基础设施，以支持实质性协调、收集、存储， 跟踪和报告所有NRMN数据，利用简化和功能方法，以及（c）实施 以证据为基础的、反应迅速的传播战略，将有效和高效地建立社区， 包容性的做法，促进协同作用和研究创新，并传播NRMN的主要成果。这些 活动将有助于催化和支持NRMN研究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 致力于生物医学研究人员多样化的从业人员。重要的是，NRMN协调中心 将灵活应对包括NIH在内的不同实践社区的需求和反馈 和公众，同时为培养创造力、协同作用和可持续发展提供清晰的结构和流程。

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.
