ABSTRACT- PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORE Rhode Island (RI) has substantial health and healthcare resources, but also substantial and serious healthcare problems, including high rates of overdose death, mental health problems, obesity, and significant health care disparities. Aligning RI’s substantial health and healthcare resources so that they can effectively address RI’s health and health care problems requires that critical gaps in the state’s Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) infrastructure be closed. During Phase I of Advance-CTR, the Professional Development (PD) Core focused on three specific gaps faced by researchers and their teams: insufficient research funding, limited opportunities to learn state-of-the-art skills required for CTR, and lack of access to effective and experienced mentoring. To bolster funding, the Core funded ten Mentored Research Awards (MRAs), and all ten will likely be awarded extramural funding by the end of Phase I. The Core also provided Grant Resubmission Awards (GRAs) to researchers with high-scoring, but unfunded, NIH proposals, and nearly all GRAs (5/6) secured subsequent funding. To allow investigators and their teams to build skills, the Core sponsored multi-day grant writing workshops, including one focusing specifically on Career Development Awards, and multiple other CTR-focused trainings. To increase the availability of high-quality mentoring, the Core sponsored senior faculty to become facilitators of interactive curriculum from the National Research Mentoring Network and the Center of Improved Mentoring Experiences. Subsequently 105 junior and senior faculty have completed this outstanding training. Finally, in response to awardee feedback, the Core developed and implemented a year-long, intensive training program for junior faculty writing K awards, the Advanced-K Program. We see enormous opportunity as Advance-CTR undertakes Phase II, with an enhanced emphasis on faculty from underrepresented populations and on community engagement. For Phase II, the PD Core proposes the following Specific Aims: (1) Provide funding mechanisms and enhance essential clinical and translational competencies to promote equity and competitiveness of the RI investigator community, (2) Position junior investigators to secure grant funding and achieve independence, and (3) Expand the dissemination of best practices in mentoring. Expected results of this evolution include greater emphasis on community engaged research; continued preparation of junior investigators through MRAs to attract NIH funding; expanded dissemination of training and skills to conduct CTR, including training in entrepreneurship and community engagement; more faculty with K- and R-series awards; and a larger, more connected state-wide mentoring network. Expected benefits to RI include enhanced attention to health priorities and disparities, a more stable CTR workforce, an enhanced sense of community for CTR investigators, more research funding, and improved ability to attract and retain CTR researchers. In the longer term, we anticipate the PD Core will contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of the state’s population.

摘要-专业发展核心 罗德岛州 (RI) 拥有丰富的健康和医疗保健资源，但也拥有大量而认真的医疗保健 问题，包括服药过量死亡率高、心理健康问题、肥胖和严重的医疗保健 差异。协调 RI 的大量健康和医疗保健资源，以便有效解决 RI 的问题 健康和医疗保健问题要求该州的临床和转化研究存在重大差距 (CTR) 基础设施被关闭。在 Advance-CTR 第一阶段期间，专业发展 (PD) 核心 重点关注研究人员及其团队面临的三个具体差距：研究经费不足、有限 学习 CTR 所需的最先进技能的机会，以及缺乏有效且经验丰富的技能 指导。为了增加资金支持，核心资助了十个指导研究奖（MRA），所有十个奖都可能是 在第一阶段结束时获得外部资金。核心还提供拨款重新提交奖（GRA） 向具有高分但未获得资助的 NIH 提案的研究人员提供资助，并且几乎所有 GRA (5/6) 都获得了后续资助 资金。为了让研究人员及其团队培养技能，核心赞助了多日的资助写作 研讨会，包括专门针对职业发展奖的研讨会，以及其他多个以点击率为重点的研讨会 培训。为了增加高质量指导的可用性，核心资助高级教师成为 来自国家研究指导网络和改进中心的互动课程促进者 辅导经验。随后，105名初级和高级教师完成了这次出色的培训。 最后，根据获奖者的反馈，核心制定并实施了为期一年的强化培训 为初级教师撰写 K 奖的计划，即高级 K 计划。我们看到了巨大的机遇 Advance-CTR 开展第二阶段，重点关注来自代表性不足人群的教师 以及社区参与。对于第二阶段，PD 核心提出以下具体目标： (1) 提供 融资机制并增强基本的临床和转化能力，以促进公平和 RI 研究人员群体的竞争力，(2) 定位初级研究人员以确保拨款资金和 实现独立性，以及 (3) 扩大指导最佳实践的传播。本次活动的预期结果 演变包括更加重视社区参与的研究；继续初中准备 研究人员通过 MRA 吸引 NIH 资金；扩大传播培训和技能以进行 CTR， 包括创业和社区参与培训；更多获得K系列和R系列奖项的教师； 以及一个更大、联系更紧密的全州指导网络。 RI 的预期收益包括提高关注度 健康优先事项和差异、更稳定的 CTR 员工队伍、增强的 CTR 社区意识 研究人员、更多的研究经费以及提高吸引和留住 CTR 研究人员的能力。在较长的时间里 从长远来看，我们预计 PD Core 将有助于改善该州人口的健康和福祉。
