摘要/总结 UCSD PRIDE 心血管科学教师发展计划 (FDP-CVS) 将招募和聘用 早期职业初级教师和过渡博士后研究员的代表性不足，他们已经获得了初步的 教师在提高心血管研究关键学术技能并提高其学术能力的活动中的地位 成功获得 NIH 或同等资金。我们将招募 4 组，每组 8 名学者参加为期 2 周的活动 暑期学院，随后是 UCSD 为期 2-3 天的年中会议和第二个为期 1 周的暑期学院。 FDP- CVS 将利用基于证据的策略来加强专业发展、研究教育、 资助技巧和有效的指导。 FDP-CVS 由三位具有指导和经验的 PI 领导 培训学生、研究员和初级教师，并成功创造和实施职业发展和 专门针对代表性不足的少数群体 (URM) 学员的指导计划。所有 PI 均已成功领导 外部资助的培训计划；三位 PI 中的两位积极参与 NIH 资助的项目 心血管研究和一名 PI 具有 URM 背景。 FDP-CVS 的总体目标是增强 从事心血管科学生物医学和临床研究的研究人员的多样性。具体的 UCSD FDP-CVS 的目标是增加来自代表性不足的个人的代表性 种族/族裔和残疾人群体获得 NIH 或同等资金。我们提出三个具体目标。目标1 将确定并在全国范围内招募有前途的、代表性不足的早期职业初级教师以及过渡 具有与加州大学圣地亚哥分校研究导师一致的专业知识和研究兴趣的博士后研究员。目标2将 使用基于证据的策略来加强专业发展和有效的指导 早期职业初级教师和过渡博士后研究员的比例不足。 FDP-CVS 将利用新的和 现有范式在早期职业初级教师和 过渡博士后研究员、所在机构的高级教师导师以及职业和专家研究 UCSD 的导师。目标 3 将提高研究的自我效能并成功获得 NIH 或同等学历 为代表性不足的早期职业初级教师和过渡博士后研究员提供资金，我们使用证据- 基于战略，以加强受训者感兴趣的领域的强有力的研究计划的发展 提供增强赠款写作和网络联系的技能，以促进成功获得校外资金 这些研究计划。 UCSD FDP-CVS 包括三名具有教师和 URM 实习生经验的 PI 发展，一群具有心血管研究专业知识和良好记录的高级教师导师 在获得 NIH 资助时，来自代表性不足的背景的教师职业导师和强有力的评估 和传播计划。

Abstract/Summary The UCSD PRIDE Faculty Development Program in Cardiovascular Sciences (FDP-CVS) will recruit and engage underrepresented early career junior faculty and transitioning postdoctoral fellows that have secured an initial faculty position in activities to enhance critical academic skills in cardiovascular research and to increase their success in obtaining NIH or equivalent funding. We will recruit 4 cohorts of 8 scholars to participate in a 2-week Summer Institute, followed by a mid-year 2-3 day meeting and second 1-week Summer Institute at UCSD. FDP- CVS will utilize evidence-based strategies to enhance professional development, research education, grantsmanship skills and effective mentoring. FDP-CVS is directed by three PIs with a history of mentoring and training students, fellows and junior faculty and success in creating and implementing career development and mentoring programs specifically for underrepresented minority (URM) trainees. All PIs have successfully led extramurally-funded training programs; two of the three PIs are actively engaged in NIH-sponsored cardiovascular research and one PI is from a URM background. The overall goal of the FDP-CVS is to enhance the diversity of investigators working in biomedical and clinical research in cardiovascular science. The specific objectives of the UCSD FDP-CVS are to increase the representation of individuals from underrepresented racial/ethnic and disabled groups in obtaining NIH or equivalent funding. We propose three specific aims. Aim 1 will identify and nationally recruit promising underrepresented early career junior faculty as well as transitioning postdoctoral fellows that have expertise and research interests aligned with UCSD research mentors. Aim 2 will use evidence-based strategies to enhance professional development and effective mentorship to underrepresented early career junior faculty and transitioning postdoctoral fellows. FDP-CVS will utilize new and existing paradigms to establish long-term mentoring relationships between early career junior faculty and transitioning postdoctoral fellows, senior faculty mentors at their home institution and career and expert research mentors at UCSD. Aim 3 will enhance self-efficacy in research and success in obtaining NIH or equivalent funding of underrepresented early career junior faculty and transitioning postdoctoral fellows, we use evidence- based strategies to enhance the development of robust research programs in the mentees area of interest and provide skills to enhance grant writing and networking to facilitate success in obtaining extramural funding for these research programs. UCSD FDP-CVS includes three PIs with experience in faculty and URM trainee development, a cohort of senior faculty mentors with expertise in cardiovascular research and strong track record in obtaining NIH funding, faculty career mentors from underrepresented backgrounds and a robust evaluation and dissemination plan.
