项目摘要/摘要-调查员开发核心 调查员开发核心(IDC)的首要目标是支持试点项目计划 专注于心脏代谢性疾病、危险因素和并发症，这将促进研究事业 发展博士后研究员和早期调查人员，特别是来自任职人数不足的人员 组。IDC将包括一批经验丰富的导师，他们在加州大学洛杉矶分校和加州大学洛杉矶分校担任领导职务 研究健康差异和/或种族/民族方面的培训方案和核心方法专家团队 少数民族健康研究，他们将共同组成指导和方法领导协作组 国际数据中心。确定早期研究经验的持久性框架及其应用是积极的 学习和学习社区参与作为坚持的决定因素，刺激学业成功，是 该框架为我们加快推进心脏代谢股票研究的劳动力提供了依据。 国际数据中心将有以下目标： 目标1：支持一个试点项目赠款计划，至少有六个新的创新差距--侧重于 每年的研究项目旨在改善社区的健康并促进 消除心脏新陈代谢的差异。 目标2：为寻求独立的、由NIH资助的初级和中级教师提供结构化的指导 研究生涯的重点是减少差异风险人群中的慢性病。 目标3：向中心科学家提供全面的方法和统计支持，包括定性的 数据方法(例如，焦点小组和认知访谈)和定量数据方法， 实施、分析和传播组织和个人行为或其他干预措施。 目标4：提供最先进的分析方法和途径，用于分析 二次数据，以了解影响慢性病的因素，特别是对种族/少数族裔的影响。 目标5：协助中心科学家使用或修改现有措施或开发新的行为 或社会测量工具，供南加州代表的不同人群使用，特别是 社会经济地位低或其他社会劣势的人。 目标6：维护一个跟踪被指导者从试点到独立调查人员演变的过程，使用 UC End-Difference IDC半年报告程序。 整个中心的一个理想目标是将该中心建立为全国心脏代谢资源 在多民族人口中进行研究。国际数据中心将为实现这一目标做出贡献，增加 代表不足的试点项目调查人员，以及最终代表不足的科学家的数量 独立调查人员，在职业阶段晋升，并成为NIMHD差异框架培训 可以支持下一代专注于心脏代谢的股票科学家的导师。

Project Summary/Abstract - Investigator Development Core The Investigator Development Core (IDC) has as its overarching objective to support a pilot project program focused on cardiometabolic disease, risk factors, and complications, that will promote the research career development of post-doctoral fellows and early stage investigators, particularly those from underrepresented groups. The IDC will include a diverse group of experienced mentors with leadership roles in UCLA and UCI training programs and a core team of methods experts in conducting health disparities and/or racial/ethnic minority health research, who collectively will form the Mentoring and Methods Leadership Collaborative within the IDC. The persistence framework and its application, that identified early research experiences, active learning, and learning community participation as determinants of persistence, spurring academic success, is the framework informing our approach to accelerate the workforce to advance cardiometabolic equity research. The IDC will have the following aims: Aim 1: Support a pilot project grants program with a minimum of six new innovative disparities-focused research projects per year aimed at improving the health of communities and contributing to the science of eliminating cardiometabolic disparities. Aim 2: Provide structured mentorship for junior and mid-level faculty seeking independent, NIH-funded research careers focused on reducing chronic disease in populations at risk for disparities. Aim 3: Provide comprehensive methodological and statistical support to center scientists, including qualitative data methods (e.g., focus groups and cognitive interviews) and quantitative data methods for developing, implementing, analyzing, and disseminating organizational and individual behavioral or other interventions. Aim 4: Provide exposure to state-of-the-science analytic methods and approaches for the analysis of secondary data to understand factors that affect chronic disease, particularly for racial/ethnic minorities. Aim 5: Assist center scientists with the use or modification of existing measures or developing new behavioral or social measurement tools for use in diverse populations represented in Southern California, particularly those of low socioeconomic status or other societal disadvantages. Aim 6: Maintain a process for tracking the evolution of mentees from pilot to independent investigators, using the UC END-DISPARITIES IDC semi-annual reporting procedure. An aspirational goal of the overall center is to establish the center as a national resource for cardiometabolic research in multi-ethnic populations. The IDC will contribute to this goal by increasing the number of underrepresented pilot project investigators, and ultimately the number of underrepresented scientists who are independent investigators, advance in career stage, and become NIMHD disparities framework trained mentors who can support the next generation of cardiometabolic equity-focused scientists.
