美国大学教师的多样性仍然很低，只有3%的人是黑人或西班牙裔。此外，代表性不足的少数民族教师往往面临独特的挑战，不太可能比他们的白色同行获得更高的学术排名，任期和资金，特别是那些谁研究健康公平。我们开发了一个新的计划，为健康公平为重点的前医生和初级教师。差异研究人员为少数民族（梦想）学者提供机会是一个为期24个月的职业发展计划，由临床和转化科学中心（CCTS）领导，提供试点和旅行资金，职业发展研讨会，指导和写作务虚会。我们报告了第一个学者队列（N = 10）的结果，预科生n = 6;助理教授，n = 4; 7人是黑人，1人是西班牙裔，2人是白色，1人被认为是非二元性别。在该计划结束时，学者们共同撰写了34篇手稿，9篇摘要和8篇赠款。半结构化访谈揭示了七个主要的计划优势：资金，支持和社区意识，问责制，接触转化科学，网络扩展，接触多学科同行。学者们提供的反馈意见对随后的研究小组很有帮助。梦想计划提供了问责制，培养了社区意识，扩大了专业网络，提高了学术生产力。该方案是在有条件现金转移支付系统中实施的一个模式。
Diversity remains low among US colleges faculty, with only 3% identifying as Black or Hispanic. Moreover, underrepresented racial minority faculty often face unique challenges and are less likely than their white counterparts to earn higher academic rank, tenure, and funding, especially those who study health equity. We developed a novel program for health-equity focused pre-docs and junior faculty. The Disparities Researchers Equalizing Access for Minorities (DREAM) Scholars is a 24-month career development program led by the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) that provides pilot and travel funding, career development seminars, mentoring, and writing retreats. We report the outcomes of the first Scholar cohort (N = 10), pre-docs n = 6; assistant professors, n = 4; seven were Black, one Hispanic, two White, one who identified as non-binary. At the end of the program, Scholars coauthored 34 manuscripts, 9 abstracts and 8 grants. Semi-structured interviews revealed seven major program strengths: funding, support and sense of community, accountability, exposure to translational science, network expansion, and exposure to multidisciplinary peers. Scholars provided feedback useful for subsequent cohorts. The DREAM program provided accountability and fostered a sense of community, expanded professional networks and enhanced scholarly productivity. The program serves as a model for implementation throughout the CCTSs.
