The Office of Training and Diversity (OTD) serves the Division of Intramural Research (DIR) trainees in Maryland and Montana at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML), including Postdoctoral, Visiting and Clinical Fellows; Medical Students; Postbaccalaureates; Graduate Students; and Summer Interns. Outreach and recruitment are also key endeavors, with the goal of recruiting outstanding, competitive candidates for DIR training positions. Wendy J. Fibison, Ph.D., is the Associate Director, and the office has a staff of four, and an ORI staff on Detail to the OTD. OTD continued to manage four annual programs: NIAID's Annual Fellows Retreat; Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO); the OTD Sponsorship Program; and the Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research. An exciting initiative continued for a third year, the Fellows Advisory Committee comprised of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. At monthly meetings, the members make recommendations regarding enhancing the learning environment in DIR, explore new programs to support the trainees' career development, and discuss issues related to the DIR experience. This committee plans the annual fellows retreat, determining the theme, format, and agenda; inviting speakers; hosting attendees at the retreat; and reviewing the program evaluations. The process is concluded with recommendations for the following year. The Sixth Annual Fellows Retreat was held on the Bethesda campus. The theme was NIAIDs Global Health Research. Ambassador Mark R. Dybul, former U.S. global AIDS coordinator under the George W. Bush Administration and co-director at Georgetowns ONeill Institute for National and Global Health Law, gave the keynote address. The retreat featured panel discussions about the various facets of implementing and running global health research programs. More than biological in nature, global health problems are influenced by cultural, economic, and political forces, and this was stated in a variety of ways throughout the program. The day ended with a review of NIAIDs broad-reaching international research and an introduction to NIAIDs Office of Global Research by its senior international scientific advisor Dr. Karl Western. Western explained the offices pivotal role in establishing diplomatic relationships with several counties, and supporting and expanding the Institutes international activities. The NIAID Outstanding Mentor Award, developed in 2009 to recognize the many mentors at NIAID who are dedicated to sharing knowledge, inspiring, and instilling confidence in fellows, was awarded again this year at the fellows retreat. A committee of fellows, working with Wendy J. Fibison, followed a blind selection process to identify the winning nominee among a large pool of strong nominations. The 2012 award was bestowed on Dr. Kim Y. Green, chief, Caliciviruses Section, Laboratory of Infectious Diseases (LID). In addition to her mentoring contributions, Dr. Green actively pursues opportunities toward advancing women in science. She is the NIAID representative for the NIH Working Group on Women in Biomedical Careers and during the previous year was on the committee to organize a workshop honoring the Institutes women scientists. Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO) is NIAID's centerpiece for outreach to populations underrepresented in biomedical research. Following a nationwide search, 20 talented students were selected from 151 applications, to attend the annual 4-day program of scientific lectures, interviews with potential mentors and lab tours. The visiting students also interacted informally with researchers and current trainees. Eleven former trainees at a variety of career stages, returned to attend INRO and their input was valuable to the INRO visiting students, current trainees, and mentors alike. INRO 2012 was the tenth year of the program, and was notable for the percentage of students who accepted training positions. By the end of the fiscal year, fifty percent of the INRO participants had returned to NIAID for training as a postdoc, postbac or summer intern. Since INRO was started in 2003, over 200 outstanding students have participated in the program. To assist strong applicants who were not selected for INRO2012 in finding training positions, the "Share-the-Wealth Program" created two years ago, was expanded. For those applicants who had given permission, their applications were shared with Training Directors in other NIH institutes. The Marketing Database, a resource developed by OTD, was revised and expanded. With nearly 10,000 entries, this is a valuable recruitment tool for DIR's training and scientific positions. It is used for the INRO program, as well as for promoting NIAID and NIH open positions, and to announce OTD's webinars and other special programs. The Rocky Mountain Fellows Organization sponsored several seminars for the postdocs at RML. The 2012 Summer Internship Program was fully subscribed, with students coming from around the country to work in DIR labs for 8 to 12 weeks. Nearly one-half of the interns presented their research at the annual NIH Summer Intern Poster Day. For the twelfth consecutive year, under the leadership of Elizabeth Fischer and Anita Mora, RML scientists teamed with local Montana middle schools to present an Introduction to Research program for seventh and eighth grade students. The objectives are to broaden the student definition of a scientist by providing diverse role models with varying interests and skills; and to encourage interests in becoming scientifically literate citizens whether they choose a career in traditional sciences or in fields ranging from politics, to journalism, to business. Many RML scientists volunteered their time and shared their research experience with participating students. To date the BRASS program has involved 300+ volunteers and reached more 700 Montana students. Many past BRASS participants have gone on to pursue careers in science because of their experience in this program. New programs were developed and offered to the DIR postdocs. One initiative focused on grant-writing, with one seminar structured for incoming postdocs, and one for postdocs planning to submit a K22 grant in the near future. A career development seminar series was offered, featuring NIAID alumnae who had recently transitioned to a variety of career positions. The Infectious Diseases Summer Seminar Series was developed to give postdocs teaching experiences with a more general audience, in this case, the NIAID summer interns. Several ongoing OTD projects which support the Institute's diversity mission were continued this year: the Sponsorship Program; the Brown Bag Lunch Series; and the Tracking Project. Competitive trainees from populations underrepresented in biomedical research were again sponsored by OTD. This program was fully subscribed in 2012, with 28 trainees receiving stipends and health insurance. Eleven former trainees hold positions within NIH and FDA. To foster a network of current and former trainees, a LinkedIn group was created by Wendy J. Fibison, adding a digital approach to providing former trainees information about NIAID opportunities and resources, and to enlist them as ambassadors for OTD programmatic outreach. NIAID is well positioned to meet its diversity goals in the near future by recruiting these young researchers back to the Institute as research positions become available.

培训与多样性办公室（OTD）为马里兰州的壁内研究（DIR）学员和蒙大拿州的岩石山实验室（RML）服务，包括博士后，访问和临床研究员；医学生；后王；研究生；和暑期实习生。外展和招聘也是关键的努力，其目标是招募出色的，有竞争力的候选人担任DIR训练职位。 Wendy J. Fibison博士是副主任，办公室有四名员工，OTD详细介绍了ORI员工。 OTD继续管理四个年度计划：NIAID的年度研究员静修；壁内研究机会（INRO）； OTD赞助计划；以及生物医学研究的暑期实习计划。 一项激动人心的倡议持续了第三年，由研究生和博士后研究员组成。在每月的会议上，成员就增强DIR的学习环境，探索新计划以支持受训者的职业发展以及讨论与DIR经验有关的问题提出建议。该委员会计划年度研究员务虚会，确定主题，格式和议程；邀请演讲者；在静修处接待与会者；并审查程序评估。 该过程结束了，第二年的建议。 第六届年度研究员度假胜地在贝塞斯达校园举行。 主题是NIAIDS全球健康研究。 乔治·W·布什（George W. Bush）政府兼乔治敦（Georgetowns Oneill）国家和全球卫生法研究所（GeorgeWowns Oneill Institute for National of National and Global Health Law）的乔治·W·布什（George W. 务虚会介绍了有关实施和运行全球健康研究计划各个方面的小组讨论。 全球健康问题本质上不仅仅受文化，经济和政治力量的影响，而且在整个计划中以各种方式陈述了这一点。一天结束时，对NIAID的国际研究概述以及其高级国际科学顾问Karl Western博士对NIAIDS全球研究办公室的介绍。 Western解释了办公室在与几个县建立外交关系方面的关键作用，并支持和扩大国际活动。 NIAID杰出导师奖于2009年开发，旨在认识NIAID的许多导师，他们致力于分享知识，鼓舞人心和灌输对研究员的信心，并于今年在Fellows Retreat上再次获得授予。 与温迪·菲比森（Wendy J. Fibison）合作的研究员委员会遵循了一个盲目的选择程序，以确定大量强大提名人中的获胜提名人。 2012年的奖项是在传染病实验室（LID）实验室校长Kim Y. Green博士授予的。 除了指导贡献外，格林博士还积极寻求机会推进科学领域的女性。她是NIAID生物医学职业妇女工作组的NIAID代表，在上一年，她在委员会举办了一个纪念该机构女性科学家的研讨会。 壁内NIAID研究机会（INRO）是NIAID在生物医学研究中代表不足的人群的核心。在全国范围内进行搜索后，从151次申请中选出了20名才华横溢的学生，参加了年度为期4天的科学讲座计划，对潜在导师和实验室旅行的访谈。来访的学生还与研究人员和现任学员进行了非正式的互动。在各个职业阶段的11名前学员都回到了INRO，他们的投入对于Inro访问学生，现任学员和导师都非常有价值。 2012年INRO是该计划的第十年，并且在接受培训职位的学生中占有一致。 到财政年度结束时，五十％的INRO参与者已返回NIAID接受培训，以博士后，博士后或暑期实习生。自2003年Inro成立以来，超过200名杰出学生参加了该计划。为了协助未被选为INRO2012寻找培训职位的强大申请人，两年前创建的“股份卫生计划”已扩大。对于那些获得许可的申请人，他们的申请与其他NIH机构的培训董事共享。 营销数据库是OTD开发的一种资源，已修订和扩展。有近10,000个条目，这是DIR培训和科学职位的宝贵招聘工具。 它用于INRO计划，以及促进NIAID和NIH开放位置，并宣布OTD的网络研讨会和其他特殊计划。 落基山研究员组织赞助了RML博士后的几次研讨会。 2012年的暑期实习计划得到了充分订阅，来自全国各地的学生在Dir Labs工作了8至12周。 在NIH年度NIH夏季实习生日，将近一半的实习生介绍了他们的研究。 在伊丽莎白·菲舍尔（Elizabeth Fischer）和安妮塔·莫拉（Anita Mora）的领导下，RML科学家与当地的蒙大拿州中学合作，为七年级和八年级的学生提供了研究介绍。这些目标是通过提供各种兴趣和技能的不同榜样来扩大科学家的学生定义；并鼓励人们对成为科学识字公民的兴趣，无论他们在传统科学中选择职业还是从政治，新闻到商业的领域。许多RML科学家自愿参加了时间，并与参与学生分享了他们的研究经验。 迄今为止，铜管计划涉及300多名志愿者，并吸引了更多700名蒙大拿州学生。由于他们在该计划中的经验，许多过去的铜管参与者都继续从事科学职业。 开发了新计划并提供给DIR PostDocs。 一项旨在授予写作的倡议，其中一项研讨会为即将到来的博士后而构建，而一项研讨会则是针对计划在不久的将来提交K22赠款的博士后。提供了一个职业发展研讨会系列，其中包括Niaid Alumnae，后者最近过渡到各种职业职位。 传染病夏季研讨会系列的开发是为了使博士后教学经验与更普遍的受众，在这种情况下为Niaid Summer实习生。 今年仍在继续进行一些支持该研究所多样性任务的OTD项目：赞助计划；棕色袋午餐系列；和跟踪项目。 OTD再次赞助了来自生物医学研究中人口不足的人群的竞争学员。 该计划在2012年完全订阅，28名受训人员将获得津贴和健康保险。 11位前学员在NIH和FDA中担任职位。为了建立一个现任和前学员的网络，Wendy J. Fibison创建了一个LinkedIn小组，添加了一种数字方法，以提供有关NIAID机会和资源的前学员的信息，并将他们当作OTD程序化宣传的大使。 NIAID在不久的将来可以在不久的将来实现其多样性目标，并在研究职位可用的情况下招募这些年轻的研究人员回到研究所。
