项目摘要

Project Summary The Society of Toxicology’s Undergraduate Diversity Program will support travel for about 35 participants, approximately 30 undergraduate students from groups that are under-represented in the sciences and 5 faculty advisors who have strong potential to encourage students from these groups to pursue career paths in the biomedical sciences. The number of students from some demographic groups who are pursuing graduate school in the sciences is far from parity with their proportion among the US population, and the Society of Toxicology strongly supports efforts to increase the diversity of the scientific workforce. Selected from a national pool of applicants, these students and advisors will receive travel support and participate in a 3-day program March 13-15, 2021, in Orlando, FL, in conjunction with the Society of Toxicology (SOT) Annual Meeting March 14-18, and at the subsequent meetings in San Diego (2022) and Nashville (2023). The aims of this program are to 1) increase awareness of undergraduate students majoring in science and science advisors at undergraduate institutions about career choices and opportunities in toxicology and 2) increase interest of undergraduate students in graduate biomedical education and motivate students to obtain research experience especially that pertinent to toxicology. Participants will hear specially selected presentations by high profile toxicologists whose work exemplifies diverse research interests, engage in research poster sessions, and meet with academic program directors and internship sponsors. Students are grouped into mentoring teams including graduate student peer mentors and toxicologist host- mentors who provide informal interaction and mentoring during the presentations, scientific and poster session exploration, and other activities. Potential career choices after the PhD are examined in roundtable discussions featuring toxicologists who share their experiences in different employment sectors (academia, government, and industry). The program is based on the experience from, and evaluation and refinement of, activities across the 31-year history of the SOT Undergraduate Diversity Program. Other activities supplement this program, including ToxScholar visits to campuses and support for summer internships. SOT is committed to activities for increased inclusiveness and diversity in toxicology and the biomedical sciences.

项目概要毒理学会的本科生多样性计划将为约 35 名学生提供旅行支持参与者，大约 30 名本科生，来自代表性不足的群体科学领域的专家和 5 名有强大潜力鼓励学生的教师顾问这些群体追求生物医学科学职业道路的学生数量。一些正在攻读科学研究生的人口群体远未达到同等水平其在美国人口中所占的比例，毒理学会强烈支持增加从国家库中选择的科学工作的多样性。申请人、这些学生和顾问将获得旅行支持并参加为期 3 天的活动计划将于 2021 年 3 月 13 日至 15 日在佛罗里达州奥兰多与毒理学会 (SOT) 联合举办年会 3 月 14 日至 18 日，以及随后在圣地亚哥举行的会议（2022 年）和纳什维尔（2023）。该计划的目的是 1）提高本科生的意识。科学专业的学生和本科院校的科学顾问关于职业生涯的信息毒理学方面的选择和机会，2) 提高本科生对毒理学的兴趣研究生生物医学教育，特别是激励学生获得研究经验与毒理学相关的参与者将听到由知名人士特别挑选的演讲。毒理学家的工作体现了不同的研究兴趣，从事研究海报会议，并与学术项目主管和实习赞助商会面。分为指导团队，包括研究生同行导师和毒理学家主持在演示期间提供非正式互动和指导的导师，科学和海报会议探索以及博士学位后的潜在职业选择。在圆桌讨论中进行了审查，毒理学家分享了他们的经验该计划基于不同的就业部门（学术界、政府和工业界）。 31年历史中活动的经验、评估和完善 SOT 本科生多元化计划是对该计划的补充，包括 ToxScholar 参观校园并支持暑期实习。旨在提高毒理学和生物医学科学的包容性和多样性的活动。
