摘要 弗吉尼亚联邦大学(VCU)健康差异中心(CoHD)一直在 获得四个国家普通医学研究所(NIGMS)培训计划(IMSD， Prep，IRACDA，HERO-T)以增加生物医学和行为科学的多样性 研究人员。研究指导是所有CoHD的核心和核心要素 培训计划。在研究培训计划中，受训者和教职员工是重要的 利益相关者。他们的看法对于评估文化是必不可少的，以确保计划 和评价的成功，但缺乏对评价的理解可能会阻碍他们的积极性 参与其中。此应用程序采用基于强度的协作参与式 让培训方案的利益相关者(研究员/研究导师)参与加强 评估能力和参与研究指导体验评估(RME) 进程。该项目的两个目标是开发一系列四个利益相关者的 举办评价能力培训讲习班，并让利益攸关方参与 生成RME评估表。将提供四个教员工作坊：1. 评价基础，2.开发逻辑模型，3.评价评价发展，4.评价评价。 评价结果的利用。学员的工作坊有：1.评估基础，2.方案 评估和培训经验；3.参与评估；4.反思 评估。研讨会结束后，两个小组将协助设计仪器 用于RME评估。将利用标称分组技术和Delphi过程来 制定单独的RME导师和研究员评估。经过验证后，这些仪器将 用于所有CoHD培训计划。项目过程和结果评价将是 将采用混合方法获取定量和定性数据 从不同的来源。将进行三角测量以集成这两种类型的数据以进行更深层次的测量 对整体效果的洞察和解读。开发的车间材料和 欧洲央行培训和利益相关者参与模式的工具和结果将是 通过网站、时事通讯、演示文稿和出版物传播。

Summary The Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Center on Health Disparities (CoHD) has been awarded four National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) training programs (IMSD, PREP, IRACDA, HERO-T) to increase the diversity of the biomedical and behavioral sciences research workforce. Research mentoring is at the heart of and a core element for all CoHD training programs. In research training programs, trainees and faculty are significant stakeholders. Their perceptions are essential for an evaluative culture to ensure program and evaluation success, but lack of understanding evaluation might prevent their active participation in it. This application employs a strength-based collaborative participatory approach to engage training program stakeholders (fellows/research mentors) in enhancing evaluative capacity and involvement in the research mentoring experience assessment (RME) process. The two objectives of this project are to develop a series of four stakeholders’ evaluation capacity training workshops and to involve the stakeholders in the process of generating the RME assessment instrument. Four faculty workshops will be offered: 1. Evaluation Basics, 2. Developing Logic Model, 3. Evaluation Assessment Development, and 4. Utilization of Evaluation Findings. The fellows’ workshops are: 1. Evaluation Basics, 2. Program Evaluation and Training Experience, and 3. Engaging in Evaluation, and 4. Reflective Assessment. Following the workshops, the two groups will assist in designing instrumentation for RME assessment. The nominal group technique and Delphi procedure will be utilized to develop separate RME mentor and fellow assessments. After validation, the instruments will be used for all CoHD training programs. Project process and outcome evaluations will be conducted and a mixed-method approach will be used to obtain quantitative and qualitative data from various sources. Triangulation will be done to integrate both types of data for deeper insights and interpretations of the overall effect. The developed workshop materials and instrument and results of this ECB training and stakeholder engagement model will be disseminated through websites, newsletters, presentations and publication.
