PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Minority children will likely outnumber white children by 2018. Unfortunately, pediatric workforce diversity has failed to keep pace, especially in academia. Minorities comprise 49% of US children, but only 24% of US pediatricians, and underrepresented minorities (URMs) make up only 11% of pediatricians and 8% of US medical-school faculty. Despite this substantial mismatch, very little has been published on research educational programs shown to be efficacious in recruitment and retention of diverse individuals pursuing careers in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, or social sciences. The Academic Pediatric Association (APA) Research in Academic Pediatrics Initiative on Diversity (RAPID) is the first such research educational program targeting faculty diversity in general academic pediatrics, and funding is requested for another five years. The RAPID aim is to implement and evaluate a research educational program with the goal of successful recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of diverse junior faculty in general academic pediatrics pursuing careers in NIDDK mission areas. RAPID has several innovative components: 1) small research grants in NIDDK mission areas using a model shown to be effective in promoting career development of young investigators; 2) pairing RAPID scholars with national mentors who are accomplished senior investigators and seasoned mentors; 3) in-person mentoring and networking at an annual breakfast at the Pediatric Academic Societies meeting; 4) an annual career-development and leadership conference; and 5) monthly Scholar telephone conference calls, to provide intensive mentoring, peer support, peer mentoring, networking, a venue for presenting research in progress, and opportunities for potential research collaborations. The APA has extensive available educational resources, experience, staff, and facilities, all of which will continue to ensure the success of RAPID. The first five years of RAPID were highly successful, with the program achieving or exceeding all original aims, including: 1) APA membership diversity significantly increasing; 2) multiple Scholars obtaining four career-development awards; 3) Scholars generating multiple publications and presentations at national conferences; 4) establishing a highly rated annual conference of URM investigators from across the country spanning the spectrum from residents to mid-level faculty; and 5) convening an annual networking breakfast of Scholars, National Advisory Committee members, and RAPID and APA leadership. If, as anticipated, the hypotheses continue to be confirmed, RAPID will continue to result in: 1) successful recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of diverse junior faculty researchers; 2) increased likelihood that RAPID Scholars will present their project findings at a national professional meeting, publish their project findings, obtain additional research funding, obtain a career development award, maintain their APA membership, and highly rate their commitment to a research career in pediatric academic generalism; and 3) a model societal program for enhancing the diversity of young investigators and their leadership skills.

项目总结/摘要 到2018年，少数民族儿童的数量可能会超过白色儿童。不幸的是，儿科劳动力的多样性 跟不上潮流，尤其是在学术界少数民族占美国儿童的49%，但只有24%的美国儿童 儿科医生和代表性不足的少数民族（URM）仅占儿科医生的11%和美国儿科医生的8%。 医学院教师尽管存在这种实质性的不匹配，但很少有研究发表 教育计划表明，在招聘和留住不同的个人追求有效 在生物医学，行为，临床或社会科学的职业生涯。学术儿科协会（阿帕） 多样性学术儿科倡议研究（RAPID）是第一个这样的研究教育计划 针对一般学术儿科学的教师多样性，并要求再提供五年的资金。 RAPID的目的是实施和评估一个研究教育计划，其目标是成功地 普通学术儿科学不同初级教师的招聘、保留和专业发展 在NIDDK使命领域追求事业。RAPID有几个创新的组成部分：1）小型研究 在NIDDK使命地区使用一种有效促进青年职业发展的模式提供赠款 研究人员; 2）将RAPID学者与国家导师配对，这些导师是有成就的高级研究人员， 经验丰富的导师; 3）在儿科学术研讨会的年度早餐会上进行面对面的指导和交流 协会会议; 4）年度职业发展和领导力会议; 5）每月奖学金 电话会议，提供密集的指导，同行支持，同行指导，网络，一个场地 展示正在进行的研究，以及潜在的研究合作机会。阿帕已经 广泛的可用教育资源，经验，工作人员和设施，所有这些都将继续确保 快速的成功。RAPID的前五年非常成功，该计划实现了或 超过了所有最初的目标，包括：1）阿帕成员的多样性显着增加; 2）多个 获得四项职业发展奖的学者; 3）发表多篇论文的学者， 在国家会议上作报告; 4）建立一个高度评价的城市风险管理调查人员年度会议 来自全国各地，从居民到中级教师;和5）召开年度会议 学者，国家咨询委员会成员，RAPID和阿帕领导的网络早餐。 如预期，如果假设继续得到证实，RAPID将继续导致：1）成功 招聘，保留，和不同的初级教师研究人员的专业发展; 2）增加 RAPID学者将在国家专业会议上展示他们的项目研究结果， 他们的项目成果，获得额外的研究经费，获得职业发展奖，保持他们的 阿帕成员，并高度评价他们对儿科学术通才研究事业的承诺; 3）提高青年研究人员多样性和领导能力的示范社会计划。
