PROJECT SUMMARY – INVESTIGATOR DEVELOPMENT CORE Eliminating health disparities in Arkansas is particularly challenging, since rural and Black/African American populations are disproportionately affected by the burden of chronic disease. As part of strategic plans to address the problem, a diverse and productive workforce is needed to conduct research that mitigates health disparities and supports health equity. Supporting early stage investigators provides an effective and productive solution in workforce development, when structured plans are provided for investigators who come from health disparity and underrepresented groups. The overarching goal of the Investigator Development Core is to reduce inequities in the number of historically underrepresented researchers prepared to eliminate cancer and cardiovascular disease health disparities by building a strong evidence-based training and mentoring infrastructure that enhances skills and competencies of investigators to successfully compete for pilot project funding, and subsequently secure National Institutes of Health research grants. The Core will apply social justice principles and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Framework to address individual, interpersonal, and institutional structural factors that influence the diversity in the research workforce, underrepresented researcher access to grant awards, equity in training and mentoring, participation in research with community partners, and ultimately, increase the number of research studies that focus on eliminating chronic disease disparities among groups often denied the human right to health. The Investigator Development Core will use a mixed-methods approach (concept mapping, individual assessments pre-application) to capture relevant data to assist the team in developing relevant training and mentoring components pre/post award. The community liaison for the Training Mentoring Advisory Board will review grants for their impact on health equity prior to submission and work with the Community Engagement Core to link community partners and pilot study investigators. Finally, the Investigator Development Core will build on the National Mentoring Research Network model to increase participation in the pilot grant program by addressing inequities in readiness to submit research grants, using one-on-one consults, providing grant coaching and writing group support, and conducting team- oriented mentoring to guide investigators from idea conceptualization to subsequent submission of an NIH grant application. The expected impact will be increased recruitment, retention and professional advancement of early stage investigators in conducting chronic disease health disparities research that informs future research, health policy, and programmatic responses to eliminate health disparities.

项目概要-制冷机开发核心 消除阿肯色州的健康差距尤其具有挑战性，因为农村和黑人/非裔美国人 人口受到慢性病负担的影响不成比例。作为战略计划的一部分， 为了解决这一问题，需要一支多样化和富有成效的劳动力队伍来进行减轻健康问题的研究。 并支持健康公平。支持早期阶段的调查人员提供了一个有效和富有成效的 为来自卫生部门的调查人员提供结构化计划时， 不平等和代表性不足的群体。研究者发展核心的总体目标是减少 历史上代表性不足的研究人员准备消除癌症的数量不公平， 通过建立强有力的循证培训和指导， 加强调查人员技能和能力的基础设施，以成功竞争试点项目 资金，并随后获得国家卫生研究院的研究赠款。核心将运用社会正义 原则和国家少数民族健康和健康差异研究所的研究框架，以解决 影响研究人员多样性的个人、人际和机构结构因素， 代表性不足的研究人员获得赠款的机会、培训和指导方面的平等、参与研究 与社区合作伙伴，并最终增加研究的数量，重点是消除 各群体之间的慢性病差异往往被剥夺了健康人权。研究者发展 核心将使用混合方法（概念图绘制、应用前的单独评估）， 相关数据，以协助团队制定授标前/授标后的相关培训和指导内容。的 培训指导咨询委员会的社区联络员将审查赠款对卫生公平性的影响 在提交之前，与社区参与核心合作，将社区合作伙伴和试点研究联系起来 investigators.最后，研究者发展核心将建立在国家指导研究网络的基础上。 通过解决准备提交研究的不平等问题来增加试点资助计划的参与的模式 赠款，使用一对一的咨询，提供赠款辅导和写作小组的支持，并进行团队- 定向指导，指导研究人员从想法概念化到随后提交NIH资助 应用程序.预期的影响将是增加征聘、保留和早期专业人员的专业晋升， 在进行慢性病健康差异研究时，阶段研究人员为未来的研究提供信息， 政策和方案对策，以消除健康差距。
