Project Summary/Abstract There is an urgent need to create sustainable systems to facilitate the success of diverse faculty, particularly because the diseases central to the mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) disproportionately impact populations of color. Thus, we propose a comprehensive program to facilitate the success of diverse faculty engaged in research that is directly responsive to the mission of NIDDK and that builds on the extensive infrastructure already in place within and across our institutions. We draw upon established collaborations through our NIDDK-funded University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Nutrition Obesity Research Center (UNC-NORC) (P30DK056350, PI Mayer-Davis) and our North Carolina Diabetes Research Center (NC-DRC) (P30DK124723, PI McClain) to include three R-1, predominately white institutions – Duke University, UNC, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine – and three Historically Black Colleges/Universities: North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T), North Carolina Central University, and Winston-Salem State University. Led by MPIs Elizabeth J. Mayer-Davis, PhD, RD, (UNC, UNC-NORC PI) and Elimelda Moige Ongeri, PhD, (NC A&T, PI of NC-DRC for NC A&T), we propose the North Carolina Consortium for Diversity Career Development in Nutrition, Obesity, and Diabetes Research (NC(CD)2NOD). We aim to build on established infrastructure to develop key program components and a rigorous evaluation plan (Year 1) that ensures continuous quality improvement (Years 2-5) of the NC(CD)2NOD that will support the success of diverse scientists in the conduct of research in nutrition, obesity, diabetes, and related conditions. We will establish three cohorts of scholars (total n=20) (Year 2, Years 3-4) and execute programmatic activities (Years 2-5). Scholars will be selected competitively and will include senior post-doctoral scholars and early career faculty members from underrepresented groups across our six institutions. Each scholar will have a dedicated primary mentor and mentoring team as well as access to carefully curated programs for professional development that will unfold over the two-year program. The required deliverable for our program is an NIH proposal (K or R-level, as appropriate to career stage) for which substantial training and mentoring will be provided. Finally, we will offer a robust P&F Program (Years 1-5) with two levels of funding that will 1) enable collection of preliminary data to support external proposal submissions (up to $50,000 per award) and 2) enhance research success by providing targeted support for equipment, lab supplies, trainings, etc. (up to $10,000 per award). Building on our substantial existing NIDDK infrastructure and research funding, as well as supplemental institutional financial support for this proposal, the NC(CD)2NOD will markedly enhance the diversity of the research workforce, preparing scholars to make substantial scientific contributions via independent NIH research funding in the critical areas of nutrition, obesity, diabetes, and related conditions for years to come.

项目总结/摘要 迫切需要建立可持续的制度，以促进多样化教师的成功，特别是 因为国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏研究所的使命的核心疾病 疾病（NIDDK）不成比例地影响有色人种。因此，我们提出了一个全面的计划， 促进从事直接响应NIDDK使命的研究的不同教师的成功 这是建立在我们机构内部和机构之间已经存在的广泛基础设施之上的。我们利用 通过我们的NIDDK资助的北卡罗来纳州大学在查佩尔山营养建立合作 肥胖研究中心（UNC-NORC）（P30 DK 056350，PI Mayer-Davis）和我们的北卡罗来纳州糖尿病 研究中心（NC-DRC）（P30 DK 124723，PI McClain）包括三个R-1，主要是白色机构 - 杜克大学，马萨诸塞州和维克森林大学医学院-和三个历史上的黑人 学院/大学：北卡罗来纳州农业技术州立大学（NC A&T），北卡罗来纳州 中央大学和温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学。由MPI Elizabeth J. Mayer-Davis，PhD，RD，（美国， UNC-NORC PI）和Elimelda Moige Ongeri博士（NC A&T，NC A&T的NC-DRC PI），我们建议北 卡罗莱纳营养、肥胖和糖尿病研究多样性职业发展联盟 （NC（CD）2NOD）。 我们的目标是在已建立的基础设施上开发关键的计划组件和严格的评估 确保NC（CD）2NOD持续质量改进（第2-5年）的计划（第1年）， 不同科学家在营养、肥胖、糖尿病和相关疾病研究方面取得的成功。 我们将建立三个学者群体（共n=20）（第2年，第3-4年），并执行计划活动 （2-5年级）。学者将竞争性地选择，将包括高级博士后学者和早期 来自我们六个机构中代表性不足的群体的职业教师。每一位学者都会有一个 专业的初级导师和指导团队，以及获得精心策划的专业课程 这将在两年的计划中展开。我们项目所需的交付成果是一份NIH 建议书（K或R级，视职业阶段而定），为此将提供大量培训和指导， 提供了最后，我们将提供一个强大的P&F计划（1-5年），有两个级别的资金，将1）使 收集初步数据，以支持外部提案提交（每份合同最高50，000美元）; 2）加强 通过为设备、实验室用品、培训等提供有针对性的支持，帮助研究取得成功（每项研究最高可获得10，000美元 奖）。在我们现有的大量NIDDK基础设施和研究资金的基础上， 通过为这一提案提供机构财政支持，NC（CD）2NOD将显著增强 研究人员，准备学者通过独立的NIH研究作出实质性的科学贡献 在营养、肥胖、糖尿病和相关疾病的关键领域提供资金。
