DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is nationally recognized for effective programs that provide underrepresented minority (URM) students and young scientists with the tools they need to be competitively prepared in the biomedical sciences and related fields. Furthermore, SACNAS has worked in strong partnership with the NIGMS/MARC program by engaging individuals at all stages of the educational pipeline in active mentoring, career, leadership, and educational development. SACNAS proposes to leverage this experience of program assessment, relationships with other organizations, and the SACNAS community of URM students, postdoctoral researchers, 6-12 grade teachers, university faculty, and research professionals to: 1) strengthen the educational pipeline of URM students in the basic biomedical sciences and 2) maintain an ongoing analysis of all activities to assure continued improvement and delivery of the best outcomes. The scientific career "pipeline" will work effectively when an integrated approach to structured interventions is in place at each stage of the educational pipeline. Thus, we propose a multi-faceted approach to increasing URM students' involvement and retention in the biomedical sciences. First, SACNAS will organize an annual conference that will provide students with opportunities to 1) engage with nationally recognized scientific role models, 2) gain professional skills essential for advancement in the sciences, 3) participate in structured mentoring opportunities, and 4) develop and strengthen personal and professional networks. Key highlights of the activities in the proposed cycle will be an enhanced mentoring program and essential leadership training. Second, SACNAS will expand upon the conference to include year-around activities that will broaden its impact, including campus-based student chapters and leadership development initiatives. Third, SACNAS will strengthen its publications that promote science careers, highlight leading URM scientists, showcase student research, and provide resources for academic and professional development. Lastly, we will conduct a rigorous formative and summative evaluation for each proposed activity. SACNAS is uniquely qualified to successfully complete the proposed activities, and through these activities, assist the U.S. in enhancing science diversity and enabling new science discoveries.

描述（由申请人提供）：奇卡诺人和美洲原住民科学促进会 (SACNAS) 因其有效的项目而获得全国认可，这些项目为代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生和年轻科学家提供了在生物医学领域具有竞争力所需的工具。科学及相关领域。此外，SACNAS 与 NIGMS/MARC 项目建立了强有力的合作伙伴关系，让教育管道各个阶段的个人参与积极的指导、职业、领导力和教育发展。 SACNAS 建议利用项目评估的经验、与其他组织的关系以及由 URM 学生、博士后研究人员、6-12 年级教师、大学教师和研究专业人员组成的 SACNAS 社区，以： 1) 加强 URM 学生在以下领域的教育渠道：基础生物医学科学；2) 对所有活动进行持续分析，以确保持续改进和提供最佳结果。当教育管道的每个阶段都采用结构化干预的综合方法时，科学职业“管道”就会有效地发挥作用。因此，我们提出了一种多方面的方法来提高 URM 学生对生物医学科学的参与和保留。首先，SACNAS 将组织一次年度会议，为学生提供机会：1）与国家认可的科学榜样接触，2）获得科学进步所必需的专业技能，3）参与结构化的指导机会，以及 4）发展和发展加强个人和专业网络。拟议周期中活动的主要亮点将是加强指导计划和必要的领导力培训。其次，SACNAS 将扩大会议范围，纳入全年活动，扩大其影响力，包括校园学生分会和领导力发展计划。第三，SACNAS 将加强其出版物，以促进科学事业、突出 URM 领先科学家、展示学生研究并为学术和专业发展提供资源。最后，我们将对每项拟议活动进行严格的形成性和总结性评估。 SACNAS 具有成功完成拟议活动的独特资格，并通过这些活动协助美国增强科学多样性并实现新的科学发现。
