项目摘要

Scientific workforce diversity has been a longstanding challenge, and lack of progress negatively impacts innovation, scientific discovery, and ultimately public health. Despite ongoing efforts, racial diversity among the nation’s scientific research faculty remains low. Vanderbilt is well poised to build on this experience and achieve more racial and ethnic diversity among our scientific research faculty. The Vanderbilt Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation Program (V-FIRST) will leverage substantial new institutional commitments to diversity and inclusion, and will build on prior success, recruiting women faculty and Black and Latinx postdoctoral fellows, to optimize recruitment and retention of Black, Latinx, American Indian, and Pacific Islander faculty. With commitment of a 3:1 match of institutional dollars to NIH FIRST dollars, V-FIRST will recruit at least 18 tenure-track faculty from minoritized racial and ethnic groups. With a leadership team comprised of key institutional leaders who are highly committed to and experienced in recruiting, developing, mentoring and sponsoring faculty from minoritized groups, we will achieve these goals: Overall Aim 1: Identify and eliminate organizational barriers that impede full participation, advancement, and thriving of racially diverse faculty in academia. We will implement sustainable and progressive institutional policies that enhance diverse faculty hiring, retention, promotion, and tenure, and employ cross- institutional strategies to cultivate inclusivity, cohesion, and belonging. Overall Aim 2: In a series of three cluster hires, recruit 18-20 tenure-track, early-career scientific faculty who are Black, Latinx, American Indian, and Pacific Islander, and establish a supportive and nurturing environment for their success. Using an equity framework, we will implement an inclusive search process that proactively identifies early career Black, Latinx, American Indian, and Pacific Islander scientists, equitably evaluates applications, removes barriers to applying, and provides well-resourced start-up packages. Overall Aim 3: Effectively mentor, retain, and support diverse early-career scientific faculty to promotion with tenure. In addition to Vanderbilt’s vast faculty development resources, we will provide V-FIRST faculty with a multi-tier mentoring and nationally recognized senior scientists as sponsors. We will reduce isolation and increase sense of community with social and culturally-relevant activities that enable V-FIRST faculty to thrive. Overall Aim 4: Comprehensively evaluate V-FIRST’s hiring process, career development activities and the impact of V-FIRST on Vanderbilt’s culture. Using an equity lens, we will determine the effectiveness of the V-FIRST program through process and outcome indicators that measure change at multiple levels, including faculty development, mentoring and relationships, and institutional policies, practices, and culture. We will use data collected through evaluation to inform ongoing program improvement and institutional change.

科学劳动力多样性一直是一个长期挑战，缺乏进展会产生负面影响尽管不断努力，但种族多样性仍然存在。美国的科学研究人员仍然较少，范德比尔特已经准备好在这一经验的基础上再接再厉并取得成就。更多种族和民族多样性范德比尔特学院的科研人员。可持续转型计划（V-FIRST）招聘将利用大量新机构致力于多元化和包容性，并将在先前的成功基础上，招募女性教师和黑人和黑人拉丁裔博士后研究员，以优化黑人、拉丁裔、美洲印第安人和太平洋人的招聘和保留岛民教员承诺将机构资金与 NIH FIRST 资金进行 3:1 匹配，V-FIRST 将招募至少 18 名来自少数族裔群体的终身教职人员，并组建一个领导团队。由主要机构领导者组成，他们高度致力于招聘、开发、通过指导和资助少数群体的教师，我们将实现以下目标：总体目标 1：识别并消除阻碍充分参与、进步、我们将实施可持续和进步的政策，促进学术界种族多元化教师的蓬勃发展。加强多样化教师招聘、保留、晋升和终身教职的制度政策，并聘用跨学科教师培养包容性、凝聚力和归属感的制度策略。总体目标 2：在一系列三个集群招聘中，招聘 18-20 名终身教授、职业生涯早期的科学教师他们是黑人、拉丁裔、美洲印第安人和太平洋岛民，并建立一个支持和培育的群体我们将利用公平框架，实施包容性的搜索流程，以帮助他们取得成功。积极主动地公平地识别早期职业黑人、拉丁裔、美洲印第安人和太平洋岛民科学家评估申请，消除申请障碍，并提供资源充足的启动包。总体目标 3：有效指导、保留和支持不同的早期职业科学教师的晋升除了范德比尔特大学丰富的教师发展资源外，我们还将为 V-FIRST 教师提供终身教职。多层次的指导和国家认可的资深科学家作为赞助商，我们将减少隔离和支持。通过社会和文化相关的活动来增强社区意识，使 V-FIRST 教师能够蓬勃发展。总体目标 4：全面评估 V-FIRST 的招聘流程、职业发展活动和使用股权视角，我们将确定 V-FIRST 对范德比尔特文化的影响。 V-FIRST 计划通过衡量多个层面变化的过程和结果指标，包括我们将使用教师发展、指导和关系以及机构政策、实践和文化。通过评估收集的数据可为正在进行的计划改进和机构变革提供信息。
