PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The proposed, “Strengthening Child Health Research Capacity in Resource Constrained Settings” (Researcher Resilience Training, RRT) will develop, deliver and test state-of-the-art methods training and “hands-on” research experience to advanced doctoral students and early career investigators, specifically those of African descent, committed to addressing the serious threats to child behavioral health (CBH), as well as prevention and care disparities in poverty-impacted contexts. This RRT will prepare Fellows to focus their research on serious overlapping outcomes, including: 1) disruptive behavioral difficulties; 2) engagement in early sexual/drug risk behaviors and; 3) early acts of delinquency, including violent behavior for youth living in scarce-resource communities. The RRT aims to develop and support a pipeline of new CBH investigators prepared to advance scientific knowledge about system and community-level interventions that can address the disproportionate health burdens experienced by poverty-impacted youth of African descent via enhancing protective family, neighborhood, system supports; reducing disparities; and advancing racial and health equity. This training leverages existing transdisciplinary partnerships within Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), and with safety net child service delivery partners committed to serving families of African descent in poverty-impacted communities and advancing health equity in the racially segregated metro area of St. Louis. The RRT is guided by 4 Specific Aims: 1) to recruit 5 cohorts of advanced doctoral students and early career investigators of African descent committed to conducting CBH prevention, intervention, services, implementation and scale-up research within resource constrained settings (9 Fellows; n=45 across 5 years); 2) to develop and deliver a summer research training program aimed at equipping Fellows with research skills capable of addressing the significant challenges within resource-poor settings through didactic instruction, mentoring, “hands-on” immersion in child-focused studies, individualized consultation, goal setting, monitoring and ongoing support across time; 3) to advance academic/community/safety net system research partnerships on CBH and child well-being and; 4) to examine the short-term and longitudinal impact of RRT. The yearly RRT will occur across 6-8 weeks (summer). Fellows will participate in a two-week, face-to-face training program at WUSTL. Teaching faculty will be drawn from partnering WUSTL Schools and Departments and child serving organizations. Next, Fellows will spend 4 to 6 weeks embedded across existing CBH-focused research projects, exclusively led by investigators of color. Scientists with advanced methods expertise will provide intensive consultation to Fellows. A rigorous mixed-methods evaluation will track individual Fellow progress and the impact of the RRT on overall CBH research partnerships. The RRT aligns with NICHD's mission to ensure the healthy functioning of all youth and families by creating new science-based approaches to directly address disparities driven by inequities at individual, social, community and service systems levels.

项目总结/摘要 拟议的"加强资源有限环境下的儿童健康研究能力" （复原力培训研究员，RRT）将开发、提供和测试最先进的方法培训， “动手”的研究经验，以先进的博士生和早期的职业调查，特别是 非洲裔，致力于解决儿童行为健康（CBH）的严重威胁，以及 在受贫困影响的情况下，预防和护理方面的差距。这个RRT将准备研究员专注于他们的 对严重重叠结果的研究，包括：1）破坏性行为困难; 2）参与 早期性/毒品风险行为; 3）早期犯罪行为，包括生活在 稀缺资源社区。RRT旨在开发和支持新CBH调查人员的管道 准备推进有关系统和社区一级干预措施的科学知识， 非洲裔受贫困影响的青年所承受的不成比例的健康负担， 保护性的家庭、邻里、系统支持;减少差距;促进种族和健康平等。 该培训利用圣路易斯华盛顿大学现有的跨学科合作伙伴关系 （WUSTL），并与致力于为非洲裔家庭提供服务的安全网儿童服务提供伙伴合作， 贫困影响的社区和促进卫生公平的种族隔离的大都会地区的圣路易斯。 RRT由4个具体目标指导：1）招募5批高级博士生和早期职业生涯 非洲裔调查人员致力于进行CBH预防，干预，服务， 在资源有限的情况下实施和扩大研究（9名研究员; 5年内n = 45）; 2)开发和提供一个夏季研究培训计划，旨在为研究员提供研究技能 有能力通过教学式指导应对资源匮乏环境中的重大挑战， 辅导，"动手"沉浸在以儿童为中心的研究中，个性化咨询，目标设定，监测 和持续的支持; 3）推进学术/社区/安全网系统研究伙伴关系 对CBH和儿童福祉; 4）检查RRT的短期和纵向影响。年度 RRT将持续6 - 8周（夏季）。研究员将参加为期两周的面对面培训 在WUSTL。教学人员将从合作的WUSTL学校和部门中抽调， 儿童服务组织。接下来，研究员将花费4到6周的时间，深入研究现有的以CBH为重点的 研究项目，专门由有色人种研究人员领导。拥有先进方法专业知识的科学家将 为研究员提供深入的咨询。严格的混合方法评估将跟踪个别研究员 研究进展和RRT对CBH研究伙伴关系的影响。RRT与NICHD一致 使命：通过创造新的科学方法，确保所有青年和家庭的健康运作 直接解决个人、社会、社区和服务系统各级不平等造成的差距。
