为了解决种族和民族多样化人群面临的关键卫生公平问题，拥有同样多样化背景的研究人员至关重要。这些研究人员提供了不同的观点，可能导致不同的研究问题，对研究结果的新解释，以及对健康促进实践的创新建议。继续需要增加来自代表性不足的少数民族人口（urm）的领导健康研究的研究人员的数量。本文论证了指导对职业发展的有效性，以及对现有指导模式进行完善的必要性。TREE中心开发了一种创新模式，用于在早期研究人员中进行能力建设，重点是urm，以增加研究渠道的包容性。我们的模式包括社区参与的行为健康研究指导、职业发展、资助人培训以及手稿开发和提交指导。一个试点项目方案为10名早期调查人员提供了机会，使他们能够与公共卫生从业人员和其他社区伙伴建立关系，获得资金，管理一个复杂的试点研究项目，并产生初步数据。获奖者与一名学术导师、一名社区导师和TREE中心教员合作，指导和传播他们的研究。经验教训包括需要考虑资金周期时间，解决招聘URM的挑战，考虑URM高级导师的过度使用，以及克服阻碍跨校园跨学科研究的机构官僚主义。我们将讨论应对这些挑战的策略。我们的模型是可复制的，可以实施，特别是对培养早期URM研究者进行行为健康研究感兴趣的学术项目。
To address critical health equity issues facing racially and ethnically diverse populations, it is essential to have researchers from similarly diverse backgrounds. Such researchers provide different perspectives that may lead to distinct research questions, novel interpretation of findings, and innovative recommendations for health promotion practice. There is a continuing need to increase the number of researchers leading health research studies who are from underrepresented minority populations (URMs). The literature demonstrates the effectiveness of mentoring for career development and the need to hone existing mentoring models. The TREE Center developed an innovative model for building capacity among early stage investigators, with a focus on URMs, to increase the inclusivity of the research pipeline. Our model involves community-engaged behavioral health research mentoring, career development, training for grantspersonship, and guidance for manuscript development and submission. A pilot project program provided opportunities for 10 early stage investigators to develop relationships with public health practitioners and other community partners, to obtain funding, to manage a complex pilot research project, and to generate preliminary data. Awardees worked with an academic mentor, a community mentor, and TREE Center faculty to conduct and disseminate their research. Lessons learned include the need to account for funding cycle timing, address challenges of recruiting URMs, consider overutilization of senior URM mentors, and overcome institutional bureaucracies that hinder transdisciplinary research across campuses. We discuss strategies for addressing these challenges. Our model is replicable and could be implemented, especially by academic programs interested in cultivating early stage URM investigators to conduct behavioral health research.
