PIs will conduct a "Future Faculty Workshop: Diverse Leaders of Tomorrow" at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This 3 day workshop aims to encourage and promote careers in academia of underrepresented minorities. The workshop differentiates itself from other such workshops by focusing on materials chemistry and engineering. The target participants are PhD students and Post-doctoral scholars from underrepresented minority (URMs) groups. It is anticipated that there will be at least 38 highly qualified participants.Participants in the workshop will be introduced to faculty who will serve as mentors during the workshop and throughout their early career. These mentors will lead discussions on the benefits of academia, how to obtain positions in academia, and give intervention strategies on how to overcome barriers to retention and promotion. Workshop participants will receive feedback and coaching on their research proposal ideas which will serve as the basis for discussing how to form interdisciplinary research programs and seek appropriate funding for these programs.

PI 将在麻省理工学院举办“未来教师研讨会：明天的多元化领导者”。 这个为期三天的研讨会旨在鼓励和促进代表性不足的少数群体在学术界的职业生涯。 该研讨会与其他此类研讨会的不同之处在于专注于材料化学和工程。 目标参与者是来自代表性不足的少数群体（URM）的博士生和博士后学者。预计将有至少 38 名高素质参与者。研讨会的参与者将被介绍给将在研讨会期间及其整个早期职业生涯中担任导师的教师。 这些导师将引导讨论学术界的好处、如何在学术界获得职位，并就如何克服保留和晋升的障碍提供干预策略。 研讨会参与者将收到有关其研究提案想法的反馈和指导，这将作为讨论如何形成跨学科研究项目并为这些项目寻求适当资金的基础。
