NIH Diversity Program Consortium Coordination and Evaluation Center at UCLA

项目总结/摘要 NIH多样性计划联盟（DPC）协调和评估中心的总体目标 (CEC)在加州大学洛杉矶分校是提供DPC的赠款与协调和业务支持，进行数据 协调/收集和方案评价，并传播最佳做法。在第二个五年中， 在资助期内，DPC将由“建筑基础设施导致多样性”（BUILD）奖项组成 和新提议的DPC传播和翻译奖（DaTA），以及一套扩大的 国家研究指导网络（NRMN）计划，包括NRMN协调中心，NRMN 资源中心和多达15个NRMN U 01干预奖。 CEC由四个核心组成，即行政核心（AC）、数据协调核心（DCC）、 评价核心（EC）和新的交流和传播核心（CDC）， DPC的扩大增长以及内部DPC通信和 传播最佳做法。与项目第二阶段（RFA-RM-18-005）一致，CEC将： 1)提供一个集中的行政结构，以支持和加强中央选举委员会内部的沟通， 在CEC和DPC之间进行沟通，并对CEC流程和整体绩效进行评估 （行政核心; AC）; 2）提供最先进的数据收集和数据管理专业知识，以及 作为DPC合作伙伴的关键服务和培训/能力建设，以最佳方式收集DPC数据， 有效地支持DPC的总体研究目标，并促进机构的可持续性（数据 协调核心（DCC）; 3）使用 传统（如定性，定量）和创新（如社会网络分析）的研究方法， 强调DPC在学生、教师和机构层面定义的成功标志（评估 4）为DPC最佳做法向同行机构建立影响力大的传播渠道， NIH和其他主要利益相关者，对国家生物医学领域产生变革性和持久的影响。 研究培训管道，并最终增加国家生物医学研究队伍的多样性 （Communications and Dissemination Core; DCC）作为U奖，我们与NIH密切合作， 设计和执行我们所有的活动，除了响应DPC获奖者和促进 帮助指导我们活动的联合体领导和特定活动小组。 总而言之，CEC将促进DPC的协作环境，提供高质量的 评估BUILD和NRMN活动/干预措施，并开发可持续的长期研究工具 在国内和国际上传播DPC的调查结果、评估方法和最佳做法， 即使在当前供资期结束后，也仍然可以使用。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall purpose of the NIH Diversity Program Consortium (DPC) Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC) at UCLA is to provide the DPC's grantees with coordination and operational support, conduct data coordination/collection and program evaluation, and disseminate best practices. In this second five-year funding period, the DPC will be comprised of the Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) awards and newly proposed DPC Dissemination and Translation Awards (DaTA), as well as an expanded set of National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) programs including a NRMN Coordinating Center, a NRMN Resource Center and up to15 NRMN U01 intervention awards. The CEC is comprised of four cores, the Administrative Core (AC), the Data Coordination Core (DCC), the Evaluation Core (EC) and a new Communication and Dissemination Core (CDC) in recognition of the expanded growth of the DPC and the critical importance of both internal DPC communications and disseminating best practices. Consistent with this second phase of the project (RFA-RM-18-005), the CEC will: 1) Provide a centralized administrative structure to support and enhance communication within the CEC, between the CEC and the DPC, and to conduct an evaluation of CEC processes and overall performance (Administrative Core; AC); 2) Provide state-of-the-art data collection and data management expertise, as well as key services and training/capacity building for DPC partners for the optimal collection of DPC data to most effectively support the overall research aims of the DPC and advance institutional sustainability (Data Coordination Core; DCC); 3) Conduct multilevel, comprehensive assessments of the impact of the DPC using traditional (e.g. qualitative, quantitative) and innovative (e.g. social network analysis) research methods with an emphasis on DPC defined Hallmarks of Success at the student, faculty, and institutional levels (Evaluation Core; EC); and 4) Develop high-impact dissemination channels for DPC best practices to peer institutions, NIH, and other key stakeholders to create a transformative and lasting impact on the national biomedical research training pipeline and ultimately increase diversity in the national biomedical research workforce (Communications and Dissemination Core; DCC). As a U-award, we work in close collaboration with NIH in the design and execution of all of our activities, in addition to being responsive to DPC awardees and facilitating consortium leadership and activity-specific groups that help guide our activities. In summary, the CEC will promote a collaborative environment across the DPC, provide high-quality evaluation of BUILD and NRMN activities/interventions, and develop sustainable research tools for longer-term dissemination of DPC findings, evaluation methods, and best practices nationally and internationally that will remain available even after the current funding period ends.
