项目摘要

This project supports a workshop for Postdoctoral Research Fellows in Biology, supported by the Broadening Participation of Groups Underrepresented in Biology track. The workshop is designed to serve fellows from the 2022 cohort by providing support for 24 fellows to attend a workshop facilitated by SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for promoting best practices and assessment of broadening participation activities, professional and career development, and to catalyze formation of a virtual cohort.Postdoctoral Fellows conduct research across all fields of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences. The Fellows in this track also increase participation at the postdoctoral level through training for advanced careers and engagement with other postdoctoral scientists from groups underrepresented in science. The workshop will allow Fellows to exchange ideas and learn from experts about best practices and assessment of activities to broaden participation. To promote professional development, senior scientists will share effective strategies and information for different career paths. The venue for the workshop is 2022 SACNAS – The National Diversity in STEM Conference. The activities will occur in a day-long workshop prior to SACNAS followed by meetings throughout the three-day conference. Common interests and interactions during the workshop will make possible the formation of collaborations that persist as the Fellows disperse to their home research institutions across the US. Overall the workshop will contribute to the national goal of increasing STEM diversity by supporting leadership in broadening participation and the career success of the Fellows, who themselves comprise a diverse group.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持为生物学博士后研究员举办研讨会，并得到扩大生物学领域代表性不足群体的参与的支持。该研讨会旨在为 24 名研究员提供支持，让他们参加由 SACNAS（学会）主办的研讨会，从而为 2022 年的研究员提供服务。研讨会的目的是提供一个论坛，以促进扩大参与活动、专业和活动的最佳实践和评估。职业发展，并促进虚拟群体的形成。博士后研究员在生物科学理事会的支持下在所有生物学领域进行研究。该领域的研究员还通过高级职业培训和与其他人的接触来增加博士后水平的参与。来自科学界代表性不足的群体的博士后科学家将在研讨会上交流想法，并向专家学习最佳实践和活动评估，以促进专业发展，资深科学家将分享不同职业道路的有效策略和信息。为研讨会2022 年 SACNAS – 全国 STEM 多样性会议将在 SACNAS 之前举行为期一天的研讨会，随后在为期三天的会议期间举行会议，共同兴趣和互动将使形成持续的合作成为可能。随着研究员分散到美国各地的研究机构，总体而言，研讨会将通过支持扩大参与和研究员本身的职业成功的领导力，为提高 STEM 多样性的国家目标做出贡献。该奖项反映了研究员本身的多元化。通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
