PROJECT ABSTRACT An important element contributing to the current shortfall of physician-scientists is the relatively low rate of participation among individuals underrepresented in medicine (URMs). The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), in its mission to advance the science and practice of gastroenterology, has a long and successful record of developmental programs designed to improve the diversity of the biomedical workforce in Gastroenterology. Starting from 2001, with Investing in the Future I and II, the AGA has developed curriculum and training to promote the recruitment and retention of URMs in gastroenterology (funded by NIH DK096968). Our conceptual approach has been highly successful, but up to this point, most of the URMs who the AGA has cultivated are focused on clinical care of patients with digestive diseases. The objective here is to build on these successes with a program focused on supporting the career entry and development for URM physician-scientists in gastroenterology. This program, Fostering Opportunities Resulting in Workforce and Research Diversity (FORWARD) Scholars, is based upon a needs assessment through surveys and focus groups where we identified factors that impede URMs' interest to pursue investigational or leadership careers. The co-principal investigators (co-PIs) and co-investigators of the current proposal Sheila Crowe, MD, AGAF, Juanita Merchant, MD, PhD, Jesus Rivera-Nieves, MD, AGAF and Byron Cryer, MD bring decades of experience in leadership development, program management, successful investigation and mentoring of early career physician-scientists. Along with these co-PIs, 13 senior physician-scientists with diverse research interests and backgrounds will serve as mentors to the FORWARD scholars. We expect to provide concrete skills to promote URMs in the pursuit of successful careers as physician-scientists through the following specific aims: Aim 1: Provide training for skill development in research careers; Aim 2: Provide skill development in leadership; Aim 3: Provide active mentoring. For the first aim, we will provide training in research development, writing scientific manuscripts, grant writing, and management of research groups. In the second aim, we will adapt our highly successful leadership development curricula to include general leadership development, leadership assessments, executive coaching, and opportunities for leadership experience within the society. Under the third aim, we will apply a diversity management plan focused on active mentoring approaches, using both one-on-one and network mentoring approaches to provide opportunities for broad support and sponsorship. Integrated with these aims will be robust evaluation plans for both formative and summative feedback. The approach is innovative because we will provide an integrated response to the obstacles identified by our surveys and focus group in a competitive group of early- career GI physicians. The proposal is significant because the research education program plan incorporates specific strategies to lower barriers and improve the likelihood that URM physicians will pursue careers in biomedical investigation.

项目摘要 造成当前医师科学家短缺的一个重要因素是相对较低的比例 医学领域代表性不足的个人 (URM) 的参与。美国胃肠病学 协会 (AGA) 的使命是促进胃肠病学的科学和实践，有着悠久而历史悠久的历史。 旨在提高生物医学劳动力多样性的发展计划的成功记录 胃肠病学。从2001年开始，AGA通过投资未来I和II开发了课程 促进胃肠病学 URM 招募和保留的培训（由 NIH DK096968 资助）。 我们的概念方法非常成功，但到目前为止，AGA 拥有的大多数 URM 培养的重点是消化系统疾病患者的临床护理。这里的目标是建立在这些基础上 专注于支持 URM 医师科学家的职业进入和发展的计划取得成功 在胃肠病学中。该计划，促进劳动力和研究多样性的机会 （转发）学者，是基于通过调查和焦点小组进行的需求评估，我们在其中 确定了阻碍 URM 追求研究或领导职业兴趣的因素。联席校长 当前提案的研究者（联合 PI）和联合研究者 Sheila Crowe，医学博士，AGAF，Juanita Merchant， 医学博士、哲学博士、Jesus Rivera-Nieves 医学博士、AGAF 和 Byron Cryer 医学博士带来了数十年的领导经验 早期职业医师科学家的发展、项目管理、成功调查和指导。 与这些共同 PI 一起，13 名具有不同研究兴趣和背景的资深医师科学家将 担任 FORWARD 学者的导师。我们希望提供具体的技能来促进 URM 在 通过以下具体目标追求作为医师科学家的成功职业生涯： 目标 1：提供培训 研究职业的技能发展；目标 2：提供领导技能发展；目标 3：提供主动 指导。对于第一个目标，我们将提供研究开发、撰写科学手稿、资助等方面的培训 写作和研究小组的管理。在第二个目标中，我们将调整我们非常成功的领导层 发展课程包括一般领导力发展、领导力评估、高管辅导、 以及获得社会领导经验的机会。在第三个目标下，我们将应用多样性 管理计划侧重于积极的指导方法，使用一对一和网络指导 提供获得广泛支持和赞助机会的方法。与这些目标相结合将是强有力的 形成性和总结性反馈的评估计划。该方法是创新的，因为我们将提供 对我们的调查和焦点小组在早期竞争小组中发现的障碍的综合反应 职业胃肠道医生。该提案意义重大，因为研究教育计划包含 降低障碍并提高 URM 医生从事以下职业的可能性的具体策略 生物医学调查。
