前言解决健康差距和实现健康公平的努力严重依赖于多样化研究队伍的发展。然而，许多来自代表性不足背景的研究人员在推进他们的事业、获得独立资金以及寻找扩大研究所需的导师方面面临挑战。方法马里兰大学帕克分校和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的教职员工开发并评估了一个为期一周的密集研究和职业发展研究所-健康公平领导研究所(HELI)，目的是增加能够持续致力于卫生公平研究的代表性不足学者的数量。结果在2010-2016年间，HELI召集了145名不同的学者(78%来自代表性不足的背景；81%是女性)，相互接触并向支持性教师学习。总体而言，学者对所有调查项目的反馈都是高度积极的，基于5分的Likert量表，平均一致评分为4.45-4.84。85%的学者仍在学术岗位上。在前三个队列中，73%的HELI参与者得到了晋升，23%的参与者获得了独立的联邦资金。结论HELI包括一项以循证为基础的课程，为卫生公平研究培养多样化的劳动力队伍。对于那些有兴趣建立这样一个研究所以发展和支持任职人数不足的早期调查人员的机构，提供了一个资源工具箱。
IntroductionEfforts to address health disparities and achieve health equity are critically dependent on the development of a diverse research workforce. However, many researchers from underrepresented backgrounds face challenges in advancing their careers, securing independent funding, and finding the mentorship needed to expand their research.MethodsFaculty from the University of Maryland at College Park and the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed and evaluated an intensive week-long research and career-development institute—the Health Equity Leadership Institute (HELI)—with the goal of increasing the number of underrepresented scholars who can sustain their ongoing commitment to health equity research.ResultsIn 2010-2016, HELI brought 145 diverse scholars (78% from an underrepresented background; 81% female) together to engage with each other and learn from supportive faculty. Overall, scholar feedback was highly positive on all survey items, with average agreement ratings of 4.45-4.84 based on a 5-point Likert scale. Eighty-five percent of scholars remain in academic positions. In the first three cohorts, 73% of HELI participants have been promoted and 23% have secured independent federal funding.ConclusionsHELI includes an evidence-based curriculum to develop a diverse workforce for health equity research. For those institutions interested in implementing such an institute to develop and support underrepresented early stage investigators, a resource toolbox is provided.
