Investigator Development Core

项目摘要——研究者发展核心 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 人口受到慢性疾病负担的影响尤为严重。作为战略计划的一部分 为了解决这个问题，需要多元化和富有成效的劳动力来进行减轻健康影响的研究 差异并支持健康公平。支持早期研究人员提供了有效且富有成效的 为来自卫生部门的调查人员提供结构化计划，从而解决劳动力发展问题 不平等和代表性不足的群体。研究者开发核心的总体目标是减少 历史上准备消除癌症的研究人员数量不足，并且 通过建立强有力的循证培训和指导来消除心血管疾病的健康差异 提高调查人员成功竞争试点项目的技能和能力的基础设施 资金，并随后获得美国国立卫生研究院的研究资助。核心将应用社会正义 原则和国家少数民族健康研究所和健康差异研究框架来解决 影响研究队伍多样性的个人、人际和机构结构因素， 代表性不足的研究人员获得资助、公平培训和指导、参与研究 与社区合作伙伴合作，最终增加专注于消除 不同群体之间的慢性疾病差异往往剥夺了健康权。研究者的发展 核心将使用混合方法（概念图、申请前的个人评估）来捕获 帮助团队制定获奖前/后相关培训和指导部分的相关数据。的 培训指导咨询委员会的社区联络员将审查赠款对健康公平的影响 在提交之前与社区参与核心合作以联系社区合作伙伴和试点研究 调查人员。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 通过解决提交研究准备方面的不平等问题来增加对试点资助计划的参与的模型 拨款，使用一对一咨询，提供拨款辅导和写作小组支持，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 拨款 应用程序。预期的影响将是增加早期人才的招聘、保留和职业发展。 阶段研究人员进行慢性病健康差异研究，为未来的研究、健康提供信息 消除健康差距的政策和计划性应对措施。

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.
