PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Chicago and Rush University Medical Center both have well-developed infrastructures for health disparities research that support a number of established investigators with diverse areas of expertise. Both institutions also have longstanding partnerships with a multitude of key community organizations in their respective geographic locations on Chicago’s West and South sides. The Investigator Development Core for the Chicago Chronic Condition Equity Network (C3EN) seeks to leverage these strengths to expand and cultivate the regional network of health disparities researchers in the greater Chicago region. The Core has three aims. Aim 1 is to manage a Research Project Pilot Grant program that funds compelling pilot studies from a diverse group of early stage health disparities researchers. Funding priority will go to proposals for pilot studies that inform novel interventions to reduce chronic disease disparities, that include intersectoral work that features collaborations with community partners in non-health sectors, and that come from investigators with underrepresented backgrounds. Aim 2 is to award “mini-grants” to support important, time-limited activities that strengthen an academic-community collaboration prior to and following the conduct of a research study. These activities help identify priorities for collaboration, inform the design of a research project, and help to demonstrate the researcher’s commitment to the partnership. Aim 3 is to provide early stage grantees with unique resources and support as they conduct their pilot project, publish their work, and prepare funding proposals that build on their preliminary data. Both during and after their pilot project, grantees will have access to a formal mentorship program; ongoing methodological support in biostatistics, data science, and intersectoral action for health; and regular engagement in research progress meetings and seminar series. We will track and adapt our approach based on meaningful performance metrics that capture our Core’s ability to inspire and support innovative pilot projects that catalyze the careers of the next generation of health disparities researchers in the greater Chicago region.

项目摘要 芝加哥大学和拉什大学医学中心都有发达的基础设施， 健康差异研究，支持一些具有不同专业领域的既定调查人员。 这两个机构还与众多重要的社区组织建立了长期的伙伴关系， 分别位于芝加哥的西部和南部。研究者发展核心 芝加哥慢性病权益网络（C3 EN）寻求利用这些优势来扩大和培养 大芝加哥地区健康差异研究者区域网络。核心有三个目标。 目标1是管理一个研究项目试点补助金计划，该计划资助来自不同领域的引人注目的试点研究。 一组早期健康差异研究人员。资金优先用于试点研究的建议， 为减少慢性病差距的新干预措施提供信息，其中包括部门间工作， 与非卫生部门的社区合作伙伴的合作，以及来自调查人员的合作， 代表性不足的背景。目标2是提供“小额赠款”，以支持重要的、有时限的活动， 在进行研究之前和之后加强学术界的合作。这些 活动有助于确定合作的优先事项，为研究项目的设计提供信息，并有助于证明 研究人员对合作关系的承诺。目标3是为早期阶段的受赠者提供独特的资源 并支持他们开展试点项目，发表他们的工作，并准备建立在 初步数据。在试点项目期间和之后，受赠者将获得正式的指导 在生物统计学、数据科学和卫生部门间行动方面提供持续的方法支持; 定期参加研究进展会议和系列研讨会。我们将跟踪并调整我们的方法 基于有意义的绩效指标，这些指标反映了我们的核心激励和支持创新飞行员的能力 促进大芝加哥下一代健康差异研究人员职业生涯的项目 地区
