20/21 ABCD-USA CONSORTIUM: RESEARCH PROJECT SITE AT VCU

项目总结 来自边缘化社区的人在生物医学研究中作为参与者的代表性不足(1) 与临床试验相同(2)。在生物医学领域，来自少数族裔的人尤为稀缺。 科学家，包括神经科学(3)。这种代表性不足导致了对文化视角的减少- 对神经行为和神经科学研究的敏感评估(4)，但也使公共卫生变得贫乏 可能有益于少数族裔健康的研究倡议。这种排除也需要泛化 白种人对其他人群的临床试验数据在没有数据进行适当推断的情况下进行。因此，为了帮助 改善神经科学研究中的包容性，弗吉尼亚联邦大学(VCU)青少年网站 脑认知发展(ABCD)研究(5)寻求补充资金，以提供身临其境的人类- 向即将从石溪大学春季毕业的Olive Calonge讲述生物医学研究经验 2021年。他们(首选代词)是从竞争激烈的NIDA申请者中挑选出来的 沉浸式生物医学体验计划，并表达了对发展神经科学的兴趣。 Olive将负责现场家庭测试(VCU对所有ABCD程序完全开放，但 物理/空间距离)。这将包括扫描年度和“非年度”访问。我们相信，该团队可以 受益于这些面对面访问的额外现场帮助，以防止员工在应计高峰期耗尽精力 (春末和夏日)。奥利弗将有机会完成所有具有学士学位的典型任务 RAS缺乏(作为唯一工作人员)进行认知任务操作的神经成像会议和 少数其他更复杂的任务，需要认真培训和跨地点协调。我们有信心 这种亲身实践的人际关系研究经验将使Olive能够全面掌握许多 跨站点大数据协调描述性神经科学数据的监管和其他复杂性 收集，以进一步使他们的职业生涯在神经科学领域展开。

Project summary Persons from marginalized communities are underrepresented in biomedical research as participants (1) such as in clinical trials (2). There is an especially acute dearth of individuals from racial minorities as biomedical scientists, including neuroscience (3). This under-representation results in reduced perspectives on culturally- sensitive assessments for neurobehavioral and neuroscience research (4), but also impoverishes public health research initiatives that may benefit health of racial minorities. This exclusion also necessitates generalization of clinical trial data of whites to other populations in the absence of data for proper inference. Therefore, to help improve inclusion in neuroscience research, the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) site of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study (5) seeks supplemental funding to provide an immersive human- subject biomedical research experience to Olive Calonge, who is graduating from Stony Brook University Spring 2021. They (preferred pronoun) have been selected among a highly competitive pool of applicants to the NIDA program for immersive biomedical experiences, and have expressed an interest in developmental neuroscience. Olive will be tasked with testing on-site families (VCU is fully-open for all ABCD procedures, but with physical/spatial distancing). This would include scan-year and “off-year” visits. We believe that the team could benefit from additional on-site help for these in-person visits to prevent staff burnout during peak accrual season (late Spring and Summer). Olive will be afforded opportunities to perform all tasks typical of bachelor's degreed RAs short of conducting (as sole staff member) neuroimaging sessions with cognitive task operation and a handful of other more complex tasks that require careful training and cross-site harmonization. We are confident that this hands-on interpersonal research experience will enable Olive to have a comprehensive grasp of many of the regulatory and other complexities of cross-site big-data harmonized descriptive neuroscience data collection, to further enable their career to unfold in the neurosciences.
