1. Definition of inclusive excellence in behavior genetics:

行为遗传学研究所(IBG)将包容性卓越定义为通过深思熟虑和不断发展的包容性实践来追求学术和科学卓越, equity, collaboration, communication, and integrity. IBG strives to embody inclusive excellence at all levels of research, teaching, training, and service in the following ways:

  1. Fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and supportive climate for faculty, staff, and trainees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

  2. Prioritizing high-quality, 全面的培训,不仅包括创新的科学,也包括道德实践,以最大限度地提高所有学生的成功.

  3. 建立有效的沟通模式,表明教师愿意倾听和尊重研究生的观点, postdoctoral trainees, and staff. 

  4. 认识到由于历史上滥用行为遗传学研究为种族主义和残疾主义政策和暴行辩护的记录,IBG负有维护高标准诚信和问责制的独特责任.  

  5. Understanding that creating an inclusive, collaborative, 温馨的环境是一项持续不断的工作,旨在吸收反馈并不断改进.        

IBG断言,培养包容性卓越的氛围需要博彩平台推荐社区中所有多样性的积极参与, including cultural differences, race/ethnicity, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability status, creed, religious or spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, class, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, or political affiliation. IBG recognizes that there is no excellence without inclusivity, 优先考虑包容性和公平性将带来更强有力、更具创新性的培训和研究.
 

2. 作为行为遗传学领域的全球领导者,IBG致力于促进包容性:

Historically, 行为和精神遗传学研究被滥用来支持种族主义和残疾主义政策和暴行, 比如20世纪美国和欧洲的优生学运动. IBG承认这一历史,并谴责滥用行为和精神遗传学研究来为任何过去和/或正在进行的种族主义和残疾主义观点和做法辩护. Please see our broader diversity statement.

Since 1967, IBG has been at the forefront of genetic research on behavior. As leaders in behavioral, psychiatric, and statistical genetics, 博彩平台推荐有更高的责任来维护最高程度的包容性卓越. 博彩平台推荐明白,博彩平台推荐在实践包容性卓越方面的努力有可能在以下方面为博彩平台推荐的领域树立标准:  

  1. 鼓励博彩平台推荐的学员和教师进行科学交流和媒体宣传, 博彩平台推荐的目标是减少对博彩平台推荐研究的潜在误解,并鼓励其他研究人员也这样做. 

  2. Prioritizing the welfare of research participants. 

  3. 通过课程的专门培训,使与行为遗传学领域相关的伦理问题的继续教育正规化, journal clubs, and workshops within our scientific community.

  4. 为参加国际统计遗传学研讨会提供资金支持, hosted annually at IBG, 并开发混合模式的教育内容,以确保世界各地的学生和研究人员能够最大限度地博彩平台推荐.

 

3. IBG’s current efforts toward improving inclusive excellence:

IBG currently has 88 Employees (TTT Faculty 10, Res Prof 2, RA’s 10, PRA’s 23, Postdocs 8, Grad Students 23, Staff 4, hourly 8). 2019年ARPAC报告强调,尽管IBG整体上包括性别和代表性不足的少数民族的多样性, we have struggled to increase diversity at the faculty rank. 博彩平台推荐正在积极推行三项主要战略,以招聘多元化的教师,同时开展活动,促进更具包容性的环境.

与现有大学层面的努力合作,招聘和支持多元化的教师;

-与ODECE合作,学习吸引多样化申请者的策略

参加培训,确保在面试过程中为优秀候选人提供一个友好的环境, 如CU的反种族主义课程和杂志俱乐部的内隐偏见培训.

建立和扩大博彩平台推荐现有的积极氛围,促进关系和合作;

- Implement regular social events that bring all of IBG together. 目前,博彩平台推荐每年举办为期两天的IBG小型会议,学生和博士后学员将在会议上展示他们的研究项目, and includes an outside plenary speaker. We also hold an annual fall kickoff (poster session and BBQ) event. 这些活动提供了在休息和午餐时进行社交互动的机会. 博彩平台推荐正在努力建立其他社会活动,以促进社区和包容. 

- Provide career-development opportunities and workshops for all levels, such as one-day courses on topics such as manuscript preparation, grant writing, presenting a scientific talk, preparing a CV/Biosketch. 

Incorporate inclusive practices within our teaching and training:

-博彩平台推荐承诺至少每月在期刊俱乐部会议上选择与遗传学伦理问题相关的论文,并招募具有不同观点的第一个星期五演讲者 

- Encourage and build support for undergraduate research opportunities (e.g. Project SHORT, SMART, UROP)

Outreach:

- Establish connections with local schools and smaller colleges

——鼓励和支持本科生积极参与科研项目

 

4. Recommendations to the University to improve structures and systems:

Faculty:

- At the University level, 校园领导应该制定支持招聘多元化教师的计划. Campus should commit more resources to strategic hiring through the FDAP. 

-非常需要一个办公室,为教员候选人的配偶提供就业机会. 这可能包括确定校园或附近机构的其他终身职位, identifying other employment opportunities on campus, or partnering with local companies. 

Research:

-大多数未来的科学家都是通过本科经历开始从事研究的.

-研究机构之所以成功,是因为它们有能力获得校外资金,进行尖端和有影响力的研究, 但是,在博彩平台推荐的研究项目中,几乎没有鼓励本科生参与的动力, beyond the commitment of individual faculty to provide those opportunities. 

-研究及创新办公室应制订机制,支持接纳本科生.
