Nuclear Receptor Interdisciplinary Meeting for Progress And Collaboration Together.
Endocrinology. 2021 Jan 7. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqaa247.
Nuclear receptors are critically important in normal and disease physiology. Recent advances have created opportunities to expand our success in nuclear receptor (NR) basic and translational research, but this field lacks a platform to lay the collaborative groundwork for aspiring and upcoming leaders in the field. Nuclear Receptor IMPACT (Interdisciplinary Meeting for Progress And Collaboration Together) is a new collaborative group designed specifically for early- and mid-career faculty who study nuclear receptors in their many forms. A unique goal of NR IMPACT is to also directly address career challenges for early- and mid-career faculty. NR IMPACT held an inaugural conference in September 2020 and developed a roadmap identifying five major structural and science policy challenges facing early- and mid-career faculty. NR IMPACT identified potential best practices, resources needed, and key action items to address these issues. NR IMPACT is a first-of-its-kind cohort dedicated to building a foundation for the scientific and professional growth of investigators studying nuclear receptors, and supporting new collaborations that will advance new paradigms in NR biology. Our unique focus on career development will enhance the success of current faculty and remove hurdles for new faculty, creating a robust pipeline of investigators with exciting new ideas to advance NR biology. The growth of NR IMPACT will build a strong peer-mentoring cohort that can be a unique resource for researchers and a prototype peer group for other disciplines.
核受体在正常生理和疾病生理过程中至关重要。最近的进展为扩大我们在核受体（NR）基础研究和转化研究方面的成功创造了机会，但该领域缺乏一个平台来为该领域有抱负的和崭露头角的领导者奠定合作基础。核受体IMPACT（进步与合作跨学科会议）是一个专门为研究多种形式核受体的早期和中期职业教师设计的新合作组织。NR IMPACT的一个独特目标是直接应对早期和中期职业教师面临的职业挑战。NR IMPACT在2020年9月举办了首届会议，并制定了一份路线图，确定了早期和中期职业教师面临的五个主要结构和科学政策挑战。NR IMPACT确定了潜在的最佳实践、所需资源以及解决这些问题的关键行动项目。NR IMPACT是同类中的第一个群体，致力于为研究核受体的研究人员的科学和职业发展奠定基础，并支持新的合作，以推动NR生物学的新范式。我们对职业发展的独特关注将提高现有教师的成功率，并消除新教师面临的障碍，创建一个充满令人兴奋的新想法以推进NR生物学的强大研究人员管道。NR IMPACT的发展将建立一个强大的同行指导群体，这可以成为研究人员的独特资源和其他学科的同行群体原型。
