DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): According to NIH statistics, the number of funded surgical scientists has been steadily decreasing over the last decade as has the number of medical students pursuing surgical training. In addition, there remains disparity in the number of women and minorities in academic medicine; this disparity is even more severe in surgical fields. The Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) strives to stimulate young surgeons and surgical scientists to pursue careers in academic surgery and support them in establishing themselves as investigators and educators. AAS organizes two courses, the Career Development Course and Fundamentals of Surgical Research Course which aim to better prepare surgeons-in-training as well as junior faculty for successful academic surgery careers. These well established courses offer an excellent venue to encourage more women and minorities to pursue academic surgery careers as well as an opportunity to develop longstanding mentored relationships with the goal of grooming women and minorities to become academic surgery leaders in the years to come. The specific aims of this conference grant are to: 1) Increase the attendance of women and minorities at the Association for Academic Surgery Career Development Course and Fundamental of Surgical Research Course through the creation of targeted travel awards, 2) Improve collaboration with the Association of Women in Surgery and the Association of Black Academic Surgeons and encourage course attendance by their membership through increased collaborative marketing efforts and reduced registration fees, and 3) Improve likelihood of success for women and minorities in academic surgery careers by establishing mentored relationships with select attendees/speakers and senior members of AAS.

描述（由申请人提供）：根据NIH统计数据，在过去的十年中，资助的手术科学家的数量一直在稳步减少，而接受手术培训的医学生数量也是如此。此外，学术医学中妇女和少数群体的数量仍然存在差异。在手术领域，这种差异更加严重。 学术外科协会（AAS）致力于刺激年轻的外科医生和外科科学家从事学术手术的职业，并支持他们确立自己的研究人员和教育工作者。 AAS组织了两门课程，即职业发展课程和外科研究课程的基础知识，旨在更好地为接受培训的外科医生以及成功的学术手术职业做好准备。这些良好的课程为鼓励更多妇女和少数民族从事学术外科职业提供了一个绝佳的场所，以及建立长期有指导关系的机会，以培养未来几年的妇女和少数群体成为学术手术领袖的目标。 这次会议赠款的具体目的是：1）增加妇女和少数群体在学术手术事业发展协会和手术研究课程的基础上，通过创建有针对性的旅行奖的基础，2）2）2）改善与妇女在手术和黑人学术医生协会和黑人学术协会中的协作，并通过在成员身份提高妇女的群体和少数群体的胜利和3），并提高了成员的成员和3）的群体，并提高了较小的群体，并降低了妇女的群体，并降低了企业群体的胜利和3）。通过与特定参与者/演讲者和AAS的高级成员建立指导的关系，从事职业。
