DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The FIRST in CER (Facilitating Independence in Research through the Summer Training in Comparative Effectiveness Research) Diversity Program will provide summer training and mentoring in skills essential to conducting comparative effectiveness research (CER), enhancing the career development of faculty and scientists from diverse backgrounds in basic and applied sciences relevant to heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders. Recruitment efforts will be targeted at individuals who are under- represented in biomedical research, including those from racial and ethnic minorities, and those with disabilities. Program participants will receive excellent career mentoring, and will also gain expertise in advanced CER methods and experimental approaches that will allow them to compete more effectively for external funding in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences. NHLBI and NIH recognize the urgent need to promote diversity in the research workforce. If our research teams are diverse, we stand to benefit from enrichment of the pool of investigators, broader perspective in research agenda prioritization, greater success in recruiting diverse subjects, and enhanced ability to reduce health disparities. Clearly we cannot achieve the goal of more diverse research teams unless a greater number of under-represented faculty and scientists acquire key skills in research design and analysis. Through the FIRST in CER Diversity Program, young investigators from groups under-represented in the sciences will learn designs and strategies for CER that will give them the skills to successfully pursue novel research and independent funding opportunities in HLBS science. We will achieve our overarching goal of creating a diverse set of CER experts by meeting the following aims: (1) Build on a successful summer 2009 pilot program (CSRI, the Columbia Summer Research Institute), evolving a new arm (the FIRST Program) with a specific focus on CER methods; (2) Introduce trainees to "landmark" research and current challenges in HLBS disorders, as well as rigorous introduction to CER methods and training in the responsible conduct of research; (3) Design a new, structured mentorship experience, extending from the first into the second year of the FIRST Program, which will enhance trainees' professional skills; (4) Foster interactions with existing diversity programs at Columbia for synergy and mutual support; (5) Hone marketing strategies and selection criteria to attract a competitive applicant pool; and (6) Develop and implement methods for tracking, evaluation, and dissemination that will provide ongoing feedback on program achievements, as well as long-term effects on participants' career trajectories. Columbia University is the perfect setting for building a mentoring program for junior faculty, taking advantage of existing summer training opportunities, an unparalleled cadre of superb mentors, and our location in the ethnically diverse, culturally rich center of New York City. We are poised to contribute substantially to NHLBI's goal of building a more diverse scientific workforce. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Academic medical centers, pharmaceutical companies, governmental agencies, and research organizations seek to sponsor research that ultimately will improve the public's health. In order to ensure the relevance and applicability of research efforts, it is essential that investigative teams are diverse in membership, with adequate representation according to gender, race/ethnicity, economic and cultural background, and disability status. Greater diversity in our research teams will result in enrichment of the pool of investigators, broader perspective in setting research priorities, greater success in recruiting subjects from diverse backgrounds, and enhanced ability to reduce health disparities.

描述（申请人提供）：CER中的第一个（通过比较有效性研究的夏季培训促进研究的独立性）多样性计划将提供夏季培训和指导进行比较有效性研究（CER）所必需的技能，加强教师和科学家的职业发展，来自不同背景的基础和应用科学相关的心脏，肺，血液，睡眠障碍（HLBS）招聘工作将针对在生物医学研究中代表性不足的个人，包括来自种族和族裔少数群体的人以及残疾人。计划参与者将获得优秀的职业指导，并将获得先进的CER方法和实验方法的专业知识，使他们能够更有效地竞争生物医学，临床，行为和社会科学的外部资金。 NHLBI和NIH认识到迫切需要促进研究人员的多样性。如果我们的研究团队是多样化的，我们将受益于丰富的研究人员，更广泛的研究议程优先级，更成功地招募不同的主题，并提高减少健康差距的能力。显然，我们无法实现更多样化的研究团队的目标，除非更多的代表性不足的教师和科学家获得研究设计和分析的关键技能。通过CER多样性计划中的第一个，来自科学界代表性不足的群体的年轻研究人员将学习CER的设计和策略，这将使他们能够成功地在HLBS科学中进行新颖的研究和独立的资助机会。我们将通过满足以下目标来实现我们的总体目标，即创建一个多样化的CER专家组：（1）在2009年夏季成功试点计划的基础上（CSRI，哥伦比亚夏季研究所），进化出一个新的手臂（第一个方案），具体侧重于核证的排减量方法;（2）向学员介绍HLBS疾病的“里程碑式”研究和当前挑战，以及严格介绍CER方法和负责任开展研究的培训;（3）设计一个新的、结构化的导师经验，从第一个项目的第一年延伸到第二年，这将提高学员的专业技能;（4）促进与哥伦比亚现有多样性项目的互动，以实现协同增效和相互支持;（5）完善营销战略和选择标准，以吸引有竞争力的申请人群体;以及（6）制定和实施跟踪、评估和传播方法，以提供有关计划成就的持续反馈，以及对参与者职业轨迹的长期影响。哥伦比亚大学是为初级教师建立指导计划的理想场所，利用现有的暑期培训机会，无与伦比的优秀导师队伍，以及我们在种族多元化，文化丰富的纽约市中心的位置。我们准备为NHLBI建立更加多样化的科学劳动力的目标做出重大贡献。 公共卫生关系：学术医疗中心、制药公司、政府机构和研究组织寻求赞助最终将改善公众健康的研究。为了确保研究工作的相关性和适用性，调查小组的成员必须多样化，并根据性别、种族/族裔、经济和文化背景以及残疾状况有适当的代表性。我们研究团队的更大多样性将丰富研究人员的资源，在确定研究优先事项时有更广阔的视角，更成功地招募来自不同背景的受试者，并增强减少健康差距的能力。
