PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal addresses three of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) recommendations on diversity in the biomedical research workforce: It 1) expands the concept of traditional dyadic mentoring, 2) focuses on sustaining a robust network of peers, content experts, and developers, and, 3) specifically targets career transition and progress toward research independence. We propose a randomized controlled study that aims (1) To compare the effectiveness of a developmental network (DN) informed intervention plus structured grant writing coaching compared with structured grant writing coaching alone, on the research productivity of early stage investigators (ESIs) including those from underrepresented groups. (2) To determine if institutional settings influence the developmental networks of diverse ESIs. We will engage diverse early stage investigators (ESIs) including scientists from NIH research networks such as Research Centers at Minority Institutions (RCMI), Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) and Institutional Development Awards (IDeA), as well as NIH disease focused Centers of Excellence. Scientists from these NIH funded networks have pledged support to be potential developers, sponsors and possible mentors for this experimental project These networks have research resources such as pilot funding and access to laboratories and mentors, to support project investigators. The intervention will be delivered in a technology enabled virtual collaboratory, which will support synchronous and asynchronous peer, coach and content expert interaction, with data generation and collection, allowing us to examine the effects of ESI characteristics, as well as the contextual factors, including institutional context and grant writing task requirements that shape the developmental network structure and content. The Primary Outcome is Research productivity, as measured by time to submission of a NIH grant application (K, R, U, and/or Minority Supplement mechanisms). Secondary outcomes include: i) Scored grants; ii) awarded grants iii) Publication in peer reviewed journals iv) ESI developer network measures including size, composition, and structure of each ego network; v) persistence and career progression in academic, industry, government or other non- academic research. Our study will lead to new knowledge about the role of developmental networks (social capital) in advancing the career of diverse early stage investigators, including those from underrepresented groups.

项目总结 这项提案涉及美国国立卫生研究院院长咨询委员会(ACD)的三个成员 关于生物医学研究队伍多样性的建议：它1)扩展了概念 传统的二元指导，2)专注于维持强大的同行网络、内容 专家和开发人员，以及，3)专门针对职业过渡和进步，以 研究独立性。我们提出了一项随机对照研究，目的是(1)比较 发展网络(DN)知情干预加上结构化赠款的有效性 在这项研究中，写作辅导与单独的结构化拨款写作辅导进行了比较 早期调查人员(ESIS)的生产力，包括那些来自代表性不足群体的人员。 (2)确定制度环境是否影响不同性别的发展网络。 我们将聘请不同的早期调查人员(Esis)，包括来自NIH研究的科学家 少数民族机构研究中心(RCMI)、临床和翻译等网络 科学奖(CTSA)和机构发展奖(IDEA)，以及NIH疾病 聚焦卓越中心。来自NIH资助的这些网络的科学家们承诺 支持成为此实验项目的潜在开发人员、赞助商和可能的导师 这些网络拥有研究资源，如试点资金和进入实验室和 导师，以支持项目调查人员。干预将在一项技术中提供 支持虚拟协作，将支持同步和异步对等、培训 和内容专家互动，通过数据生成和收集，使我们能够检查 ESI特征的影响，以及包括机构背景在内的背景因素 并授予写作任务要求，以塑造发展网络结构和 内容。主要成果是研究效率，以提交的时间衡量 NIH拨款申请(K、R、U和/或少数民族补充机制)。次要的 结果包括：一)计分补助金；二)授予补助金三)在同行评议的期刊上发表 四)ESI开发者网络衡量标准，包括每个EGO的规模、组成和结构 网络；v)在学术、行业、政府或其他非政府部门的坚持不懈和职业发展 学术研究。我们的研究将使我们对发展的作用有新的认识 网络(社会资本)促进各种早期调查人员的职业生涯，包括 那些来自代表不足的群体的人。
