Obesity Health Disparities Research PRIDE Program (OHD PRIDE)

摘要 许多报告呼吁采取新的干预措施，以预防肥胖和减轻目前的高发病率。 肥胖和他们的预期增长。为了实现这些目标，在美国， 需要国家，这种需要在代表性不足群体的个人中尤为明显。 在2016年的报告“共同描绘未来：NHLBI战略愿景”中，国家心脏，肺和 血液研究所（NHLBI）呼吁发展和维持一支能够 完成这个使命。增加该领域生物医学研究人员的规模和多样性 肥胖的健康差距是实现NHLBI的使命的一个关键组成部分，是必不可少的，以满足 到2020年将肥胖成年人比例降至33.9%的国家目标。在过去的四年里，我们 网站-肥胖健康差异（OHD PRIDE）-一直是七个PRIDE网站之一， 为来自以下地区的早期职业教师实施全面的研究培训和指导计划 在生物医学科学中代表性不足的群体（R25 HL 126145）。在此更新申请中，我们 描述我们的战略，实施和评估一个完善的循证，文化和 环境相关的研究培训和指导计划，专门针对符合条件的早期职业生涯 教师谁被雇用和/或在HBCU培训。OHD PRIDE将包括五个阶段：（1）最初的10- 一天密集的面对面的暑期课程;（2）正在进行的基于网络的写作责任小组（WAGs） （3）为期3天的年中辅导会议;（4）为期4天的面对面交流 暑期课程;和（5）我们正在进行的校友计划的扩展，旨在创造一个可持续的 智力和社会支持的网络超越了该计划的研究培训经验，建立在我们的 现有校友。我们提出的计划将继续提供以社区为基础的干预措施的技能培训 和二次数据分析来解决肥胖差异。 !

ABSTRACT Numerous reports have called for new interventions to prevent obesity and mitigate the current high rates of obesity and their projected rise. In order to achieve these aims, a diverse biomedical workforce in the United States is needed, and this need is particularly pronounced among individuals from underrepresented groups. In the 2016 report “Charting the Future Together: The NHLBI Strategic Vision,” the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) calls for developing and sustaining the diversity of a scientific workforce capable of accomplishing this mission. Increasing the size and diversity of the biomedical research workforce in the field of obesity health disparities is a critical component of achieving NHLBI’s mission, and is essential to meet the national goal of reducing the proportion of adults who are obese to 33.9% by 2020. For the past four years, our site – Obesity Health Disparities (OHD PRIDE) - has been one of seven PRIDE sites funded to develop and implement a comprehensive research training and mentoring program for early-career faculty members from groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (R25HL126145). In this renewal application, we describe our strategy for implementing and evaluating a refined evidence-based, culturally- and environmentally-relevant research training and mentoring program specifically targeting eligible early-career faculty who are employed and/or trained at HBCUs. OHD PRIDE will consist of five phases: (1) an initial 10- day intensive face-to-face summer program; (2) ongoing web-based Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) during the academic year; (3) a 3-day mid-year mentored meeting; (4) a culminating 4-day face-to-face summer program; and (5) an expansion of our ongoing alumni program, designed to create a sustainable network of intellectual and social support beyond the program’s research training experience that builds on our existing alumni. Our proposed program will continue to provide skills training in community-based interventions and secondary data analyses to address obesity disparities. !
