DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long range goal of this proposal is to increase the percentage of minority scientists by providing increased opportunities for underrepresented minority science students and scientists to successfully negotiate the science career ladder. The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) Minorities Affairs Committee (MAC) recognizes that minority researchers are far more likely to study diseases that disproportionately affect minorities. The MAC, therefore, seeks to address the challenge by meeting the following objectives: 1) to provide minority students with the opportunity to acquire state-of-the-art knowledge and research skills in cell, molecular and developmental biology; 2) to provide opportunities for minority students and young faculty to exchange ideas with leading biomedical scientists; 3) to foster development of a network of minority scientists and graduate students; 4) to motivate minority undergraduate science students to pursue research careers. These objectives will be accomplished by implementing the following projects: . Travel awards will be provided to students and faculty members to attend the ASCB Annual Meeting where they will participate with other minority scientists in a MAC sponsored Poster Session, joint MAC/Education Committees Information Booth, E.E. Just Award Presentation by a leading minority scientist, and a Satellite Meeting on Mentoring and Careers; . Tuition, laboratory fees, housing and travel support will be provided to underrepresented minority students who are accepted into summer courses at the marine laboratories at Friday Harbor, WA and Woods Hole, MA; Support will be provided for faculty members from minority-serving institutions to perform research in the laboratories of ASCB members; . Support will be provided for students and young faculty members to participate in workshops sponsored by the Histochemical Society; . Linkage relationships will be established with additional minority-serving institutions; services to Linkage Institutions aim to increase the competitiveness of faculty and students in mainstream science activities; . A Junior Faculty Scholars Program will be established to assist in the career development of promising underrepresented minority cell biologists who are junior faculty members; . Collaborations with ABRCMS, SACNAS, AISES and Leadership Alliance will be established to mentor and recruit students for careers in ceil biology; . Special meetings and electronic surveys will be conducted to share and discuss issues relating to underrepresented scientists that will generate peer reviewed publications. Each of the projects will be carefully evaluated to determine its success and adjustments made where warranted, and a tracking system will be implemented to assess the long-term impact of program activities on participants.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的长期目标是通过为代表性不足的少数族裔理科学生和科学家提供更多机会来成功协商科学职业阶梯，从而提高少数族裔科学家的比例。美国细胞生物学学会 (ASCB) 少数族裔事务委员会 (MAC) 认识到，少数族裔研究人员更有可能研究对少数族裔影响较大的疾病。因此，MAC 力求通过实现以下目标来应对这一挑战：1）为少数族裔学生提供获得细胞、分子和发育生物学领域最先进的知识和研究技能的机会； 2）为少数民族学生和年轻教师提供与领先的生物医学科学家交流思想的机会； 3）促进少数族裔科学家和研究生网络的发展； 4）激励少数民族理科本科生从事研究事业。 这些目标将通过实施以下项目来实现： 。将为参加 ASCB 年会的学生和教职员工提供旅行奖励，他们将与其他少数族裔科学家一起参加 MAC 赞助的海报会议、MAC/教育委员会联合信息亭、由一位领先的少数族裔科学家主持的 E.E. Just 颁奖典礼，以及关于指导和职业的卫星会议； 。将为在华盛顿州星期五港和马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋实验室接受暑期课程的少数族裔学生提供学费、实验室费、住宿和交通支持；将支持少数族裔服务机构的教职人员在 ASCB 成员的实验室进行研究； 。将支持学生和年轻教师参加组织化学会主办的研讨会； 。将与其他少数族裔服务机构建立联系关系；为联动机构提供的服务旨在提高教师和学生在主流科学活动中的竞争力； 。将建立一个初级教员学者计划，以协助有前途的、代表性不足的少数细胞生物学家、初级教员的职业发展； 。将与 ABRCMS、SACNAS、AISES 和领导力联盟建立合作，指导和招募学生从事细胞生物学职业； 。 将举行特别会议和电子调查，以分享和讨论与代表性不足的科学家有关的问题，这些问题将产生同行评审的出版物。 每个项目都将经过仔细评估，以确定其成功并在必要时进行调整，并将实施跟踪系统以评估计划活动对参与者的长期影响。
