项目摘要

Modified Project Summary/Abstract Section We are unyielding in our support of the principles driving the NIH FIRST program in proposing NURTURE: Northwestern University Recruitment to Transform Under-Representation and achieve Equity. NURTURE will employ a faculty cohort model, innovations in faculty support, and mechanisms to drive institutional transformation to substantively add to our University’s own initiatives to build a sustainable culture of faculty diversity and inclusive excellence. Centered within Northwestern University’s world class research environment, NURTURE aims to disrupt systemic barriers that impede full participation of biomedical research scientists from underrepresented groups (URG) by investing in inclusive cultural change within our institution. We acknowledge that systemic racism has persisted in biomedical science, including at Northwestern. We are committed to dismantling the structures that have allowed racism and bias to persist and impeded the scientific careers of too many URG scholars. NURTURE proposes to transform siloed fiefdom structures to transdisciplinary Scientific Neighborhoods that will foster growth and accomplishment in the research, career, and personal trajectories of URG faculty. NURTURE is supported by an Administrative Core, a Faculty Development Core, and an Evaluation Core that will work synergistically, and with NIH and the FIRST Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC), to achieve program goals. NURTURE will drive success through several innovations. Our diverse MPI and senior leadership team has a longstanding commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, community building, and faculty career development. They will leverage strong institutional support to implement systemic innovations toward a more inclusive and sustained culture of excellence (Aim 1). NURTURE is centered on a spectrum of research from cells to community in each of three cross-departmental Scientific Neighborhoods aligned with NIH mission areas: cancer, cardiovascular, and brain, mind and behavior. Scientific Neighborhoods will welcome 15 new URG faculty (the NURTURE Cohort) (Aim 2), in a culture of scientific excellence and inclusion. Runways to these new faculty positions will be built from a foundation of long-standing training programs, well-established local relationships, and a new initiative on postdoctoral training. Aim 3 establishes evidence-informed innovative advancement programs that include professional coaching, a team of safe space ambassadors, and comprehensive mentoring and sponsorship for NURTURE Cohort members to empower self-efficacy and combat isolation throughout their Northwestern onboarding and promotion journey. Aim 4 is driven by an expert evaluation team that will employ state-of-the-art approaches to guide real-time improvement toward success. Finally, a robust Institutional Transformation and Accountability Committee will bolster institutional connectivity and accelerate scaled implementation of NURTURE findings by Northwestern University leaders to sustainably transform our institutional culture toward inclusive excellence.

修改后的项目摘要/摘要部分我们坚定不移地支持推动 NIH FIRST 计划的原则，提出 NURTURE：西北大学招聘以改变代表性不足并实现公平。 NURTURE 将采用教师群体模型、教师支持创新以及推动机构转型的机制。 NURTURE 旨在以西北大学世界一流的研究环境为中心，对我们大学自身的举措进行实质性补充，以建立一种可持续的教师多元化和包容性文化，旨在打破系统性障碍。通过投资于我们机构内的包容性文化变革，阻碍来自代表性不足群体（URG）的生物医学研究科学家的充分参与。我们承认系统性种族主义在生物医学科学中持续存在，包括在西北大学。偏见持续存在并阻碍了太多 URG 学者的科学事业，NURTURE 提议将孤立的领地结构转变为跨学科的科学社区，这将促进研究、职业和成就的发展和成就。 URG 教师的个人发展轨迹得到行政核心、教师发展核心和评估核心的支持，这些核心将与 NIH 和 FIRST 协调与评估中心 (CEC) 协同工作，以实现 NURTURE 的计划目标。我们多元化的 MPI 和高级领导团队长期致力于多元化、公平、包容性、社区建设和教师职业发展，他们将利用强大的机构支持来实施系统性的发展。创新，打造更具包容性和持续性的卓越文化（目标 1），重点关注与 NIH 任务领域一致的三个跨部门科学社区中从细胞到社区的一系列研究：癌症、心血管、大脑、精神。科学社区将迎来 15 名新的 URG 教职人员（培养群体）（目标 2），这些新教职人员的晋升通道将建立在科学卓越和包容的文化中。目标 3 建立了长期培训计划、完善的当地关系和新的博士后培训计划，建立了以证据为依据的创新发展计划，其中包括专业辅导、安全空间大使团队以及全面的指导和赞助。目标 4 由专家评估团队推动，该团队将采用最先进的方法来指导实时改进，以提高西北大学入职和晋升过程中的自我效能感和对抗孤立感。最后，强大的机构转型和问责委员会将加强机构连通性，并加速西北大学领导者对培育研究结果的大规模实施，以可持续地将我们的机构文化转变为包容性卓越。
