UAB/TU FIRST Faculty Development Core

UAB/TU FIRST伙伴关系的教师发展核心已经调整了其拟议的目标， 活动，包括社会生态模型所描述的每一个层次的影响。我们特别 将：1）促进本杰明-卡弗科学家之间的创新，独立研究的发展，通过 a）通过主要导师进行科学指导， 指导团队; B）个人和团体职业指导; c）由既定领导人亲自赞助; 和d）专业发展机会，与沉浸式社区参与; 2）建立一个办公室 综合研究支持，为本杰明·卡弗科学家提供研究导航， 行政支持; 3）发展研究社区合作实验室，以激励和挑战本杰明- Carver Scientists：通过建立中高层科学家和社区来扩大同行集群 利益攸关方促进合作和团队科学; 4）修订和实施机构政策， 与招聘、晋升和个人/职业发展有关的做法和方案，以减少 隔离，建立社区，并为本杰明-卡弗科学家创造一个包容，公平的环境， 以及当前和未来多样化的研究密集型教师; 5）与评估核心合作，评估 UAB/TU FIRST合作伙伴关系以及FIRST协调所需的公共数据元素， 评估中心评估FIRST队列计划的影响。 UAB和TU都致力于支持我们的科学家，使他们能够取得成功 独立研究员。我们会资助专责的校长导师，以促进他们的事业发展， 提供科学指导，并领导由研究导航员支持的多学科指导团队 和赞助商倡导者;提供个人职业辅导和小组辅导课程，以减少孤立 并提供支持;并促进参与四个领域的专业发展机会 域.我们将通过快速跟踪我们的科学家的基础设施支持， 通过机构支持的综合研究支持办公室提供研究导航员。我们 将整合集群内的研究人员，跨研究领域，并与社区组织，通过 我们的研究社区合作和网络活动。我们将通过建立 两个机构的政策反映了该计划和实施多样性所引发的积极变化， 公平和包容性方案，以加强和维持多样性和包容性卓越的文化。 我们相信，我们几十年的合作加上我们目前的互动能力， 事实上，这将使我们能够提供我们的本杰明-卡弗科学家需要的支持和整合， 成功我们可以共同创造改善我们的环境所需的系统性和可持续的文化变革。 地区健康差距大。

The UAB/TU FIRST Partnership’s Faculty Development Core has aligned its proposed aims and activities to include each of the levels of influence described by the Social Ecological Model. Specifically, we will: 1) facilitate development of innovative, independent research among Benjamin-Carver Scientists through individual and cluster development plans augmented by a) scientific mentoring through Principal Mentors and mentoring teams; b) individual and group career coaching; c) personal sponsorship by an established leader; and d) professional development opportunities, with immersive community engagement; 2) institute an Office of Integrated Research Support to provide research navigation to Benjamin-Carver Scientists and fast-track administrative support; 3) develop a Research Community Collaboratory to inspire and challenge Benjamin- Carver Scientists by augmenting peer clusters with established mid- and senior-level scientists and community stakeholders to facilitate collaboration and team science; 4) revise and implement institutional policies, practices, and programs related to recruitment, promotion, and personal/career development to reduce isolation, build community, and create an inclusive, equitable environment for Benjamin-Carver Scientists, as well as current and future diverse research-intensive faculty; and 5) work with the Evaluation Core to evaluate the UAB/TU FIRST Partnership and for common data elements needed by the FIRST Coordination and Evaluation Center to assess impact of the FIRST Cohort Program. Both UAB and TU are committed to supporting our Scientists so that they can become successful independent researchers. We will promote their career development by funding dedicated Principal Mentors to provide scientific guidance and to lead multidisciplinary mentoring teams, supported by Research Navigators and Sponsor advocates; offering individual career coaching and group coaching sessions to reduce isolation and provide support; and facilitating involvement in professional development opportunities across four domains. We will remove barriers to success by fast tracking the infrastructure support of our Scientists and by providing Research Navigators through an institutionally supported Office of Integrated Research Support. We will integrate investigators within clusters, across areas of research, and with community organizations through our Research Community Collaboratory and networking activities. We will ensure retention by instituting policies at both institutions that reflect positive changes initiated by this program and by implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion programming to enhance and sustain a culture of diversity and inclusive excellence. We are confident that our decades of collaboration combined with our current adeptness to interact virtually will allow us to provide the support and integration our Benjamin-Carver Scientists need to be successful. Together we can create the systemic and sustainable culture change needed to ameliorate our region’s significant health disparities.
