The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences/National Institutes of Health and the American Association for Cancer Research initiated the "NIEHS/AACR Task Force on the Advancement of Minorities in Science" to address the issues of recruitment, participation, retention, and advancement of historically underrepresented minorities in the biomedical sciences. The goal of the Task Force was to establish a model program, national in scope and significance, to increase the number of historically underrepresented minorities who earn a doctorate and excel professionally in the biomedical sciences. To this end, the model program will: seek to promote systemic change in educational institutions from precollege through graduate school; introduce effective models of diversity training for faculty and students from precollege through university; promote collaborative learning, leadership skills, and team building in science; focus on the professional development of teachers; depend on the commitment and collaboration of financial and philosophical partners for its implementation. This document represents the vision for the model program, developed by an eight-member subcommittee charged with representing and documenting the concerns and opinions of the Task Force as a whole.
美国国立环境卫生科学研究所/国立卫生研究院与美国癌症研究协会发起了“国立环境卫生科学研究所/美国癌症研究协会促进科学界少数族裔进步特别工作组”，以解决生物医学科学领域中历史上代表性不足的少数族裔在招募、参与、留用和职业发展方面的问题。特别工作组的目标是建立一个具有全国范围和重要意义的示范项目，以增加获得博士学位并在生物医学科学领域取得卓越职业成就的历史上代表性不足的少数族裔的数量。为此，该示范项目将：力求推动从大学预科到研究生阶段教育机构的系统性变革；为从大学预科到大学的教师和学生引入有效的多元化培训模式；促进科学领域的协作学习、领导技能和团队建设；关注教师的职业发展；依靠财务和理念合作伙伴的承诺与协作来实施该项目。本文件体现了该示范项目的愿景，由一个八人小组委员会制定，该小组委员会负责代表并记录整个特别工作组的关切和意见。
