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.

项目摘要/摘要 迫切需要创建可持续的系统，以促进不同教员的成功，特别是 因为对国家糖尿病和消化与肾脏研究所的使命至关重要的疾病 疾病(NIDDK)对肤色人群的影响不成比例。因此，我们提出了一个全面的计划 促进不同教员从事直接响应NIDDK使命的研究取得成功 这是建立在我们机构内部和整个机构已经到位的广泛基础设施的基础上的。我们借鉴了 通过我们由NIDDK资助的北卡罗来纳大学教堂山营养分校建立合作关系 肥胖研究中心(UNC-NORC)(P30DK056350，Pi Mayer-Davis)和我们北卡罗来纳州的糖尿病 研究中心(NC-DRC)(P30DK124723，Pi McClain)包括三个以白人为主的R-1机构 -杜克大学、北卡罗来纳大学和维克森林大学医学院-以及三个历史上的黑人 学院/大学：北卡罗来纳农业技术州立大学(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MPIs Elizabeth J.Mayer-Davis，Phd，RD，(北卡罗来纳大学， UNC-NORC PI)和Elimelda Moige Ongeri，PhD，(NC A&T，NC-DRC for NC A&T的PI)，我们提出了北方 卡罗莱纳营养、肥胖和糖尿病研究多元化职业发展联盟 (NC(Cd)2NOD)。 我们的目标是在现有基础设施的基础上开发关键的计划组件和严格的评估 确保NC(CD)2NOD的持续质量改进(第2-5年)的计划(第1年)，以支持 不同的科学家在营养、肥胖、糖尿病和相关疾病方面的研究取得了成功。 我们将建立三个学者队列(总共n=20人)(第二年、第三至第四年)，并执行方案活动 (二至五年级)。学者将以竞争性方式遴选，将包括高级博士后学者和早期 职业教职员工来自我们六所院校中代表性不足的群体。每位奖学金获得者将有一个 专门的主要导师和指导团队，以及访问为专业人员精心策划的计划 将在两年的计划中展开的发展。我们项目所要求的交付成果是NIH 将提供大量培训和指导的建议书(K或R级，视职业阶段而定) 如果是这样的话。最后，我们将提供一个强大的P&F计划(1-5年)，提供两个级别的资金，将1)实现 收集初步数据以支持外部提案提交(每个奖项最高可获得50,000美元)和2)增强 通过为设备、实验室用品、培训等提供有针对性的支持，取得研究成功(每项最高10,000美元 奖项)。以我们现有的NIDDK基础设施和研究资金为基础，以及补充 对于这一提议的机构财政支持，NC(CD)2NOD将显著增强 研究人员，准备学者通过独立的NIH研究做出实质性的科学贡献 在营养、肥胖症、糖尿病和相关疾病等关键领域为未来几年提供资金。
