Potomac 1 (Hyatt Regency Crystal City)
Summary: This workshop will use successful elements of the Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research (PRIDE) model, which is an initiative funded by the NHLBI for the last 8 years.
Description: This workshop will focus on career development and mentoring for minority faculty, specifically leadership, stereotypes, and resources for minority faculty development. As part of the session, the presenters will discuss approaches to build relationships, the role of culture and leadership in academia and how to negotiate as minority faculty members. The intended audience for the session is both minority junior faculty as well as mentors, tenured faculty, and senior leadership.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- An overview of the BSM PRIDE model
- Culture and leadership in Academia
- Role of Stereotype Threat in Academia
- The Concept of Congruent Mentoring
- Access to the NIH National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN)
- PRIDE Scholars Testimonials on successful mentoring----3 to 5 scholars will be selected to provide brief updates on their accomplishments. (e.g., mentoring, peer-reviewed publications, NIH grants, academic promotion)
The PRIDE program is a research career advancement opportunity sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) through a variety of Summer Institutes. These mentored Summer Institute research education programs address the difficulties experienced by junior investigators and postdoctoral scientists in establishing independent academic research programs and negotiating through the academic ranks. The primary outcome of this program is to increase the number of scientists and research-oriented faculty who are from ethnic groups currently under-represented in biomedical science and those with disabilities, to successfully compete for external funding for scientific research in the biomedical and behavioral sciences in heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders.
