Fostering Institutional Resources for Science Transformation: The FLORIDA-FIRST Health-science Brigade

项目总结 佛罗里达第一旅提供了一个令人兴奋的机会来测试系统级方法 通过参与国家卫生研究院资助的下一代卫生科学家在宏观、中观和 微观层面。正如我们的总体核心中所描述的，我们的战略涉及开发和实施此模型 在我们的股票研究角(MESO)内的佛罗里达州立大学或FSU(宏观)，以促进研究和 我们新的URM教员(微)的专业发展，以产生一种基于证据的方法，可以 在其他FSU部门和招聘单位复制。有证据表明，这一战略将有助于显著 系统和可持续的机构文化变化超过基线，在教职员工中实现包容性卓越， 队列/中心和机构层面。宏观层面包括制度和更广泛文化的变化 在俄亥俄州立大学。中观层面的重点是股票研究角和队列本身，并建立一个凝聚力 和支持性环境，以支持工作效率和留存。微观层面培养技能和应变能力 个别教职员工。为此，我们提出三个具体目标：(1)重新调整体制做法 支持第一批人的晋升和任期，以确保作为 分组，考虑研究领域的独特方面，保护免受不适当的行政负担 (宏观)；(2)让第一批人作为一个群体参与活动，以促进社会接受的环境； 归属感、包容性(MESO)；和(3)发展和实施一体化的个人研究和事业 第一批人的发展计划和指导计划。我们的方法包括以下每个方面的战略 这些水平将对公共卫生产生最大的影响，在项目期之后将是可持续的。穿过 以机构、队列和个人的积极变化为目标，第一个队列将获得财富 培养和提高自己的个人科学素养和具体技能 职业和发展轨迹，并有助于在多元化和包容性卓越方面自我维持的改进 FSU。

PROJECT SUMMARY The FLORIDA-FIRST BRIGADE provides an exciting opportunity to test a system-level approach for promoting the next generation of NIH-funded health scientists through engagement at the macro, meso, and micro levels. As described in our Overall Core, our strategy involves developing and implementing this model at Florida State University or FSU (macro) within our Equity Research Corner (meso) to foster research and professional development of our new URM faculty (micro) to produce an evidence-based approach that can be replicated in other FSU departments and hiring units. With evidence, this strategy will contribute to significant systemic and sustainable institutional culture change over baseline toward inclusive excellence at the faculty, cohort/center, and institution level. The Macro level includes changes to the institution and the broader culture at FSU. The Meso level focuses on the Equity Research Corner and the cohort itself and building a cohesive and supportive environment to support productivity and retention. The micro level builds skills and resilience in the individual faculty member. To that end, we propose three specific aims: (1) Re-align institutional practices to support The FIRST Cohort’s promotion and tenure to ensure credit for collaborative work completed as a cluster, consideration of unique aspects of fields of study, and protection from undue administrative burden (Macro); (2) Engage The FIRST Cohort as a group in activities to foster an environment of social acceptance, belonging, and inclusion (Meso); and (3) Develop and implement integrated individual research and career development plans and mentoring plans for The FIRST Cohort. Our approach includes strategies at each of these levels for greatest public health impact that will be sustainable beyond the project period. Through targeting positive change in the institution, the cohort, and the individual, The FIRST Cohort will gain a wealth of knowledge and experience and concrete skills sets to cultivate and enhance their own personal scientific career and trajectory and contribute to self-sustaining improvements in diversity and inclusive excellence at FSU.
