PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT UCLA LIFT-UP (Leveraging Institutional support For Talented, Underrepresented Physicians and/or Scientists), proposes to develop a research and mentoring program that will contribute to diversity in the scientific workforce pursuing research careers aligned with the NIDDK mission. Our leadership team has a strong record of accomplishment in supporting post-doctoral fellows and pre-tenured faculty from underrepresented groups (URG) obtain external research funding and progress to research independence. The proposed multi-PIs co-lead a similar, highly successful P30 Research Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) from NIA that has recruited, engaged, and supported 61 early-career URG researchers over the last 21 years, and both multi-PIs have a strong record of NIDDK funding over the last two decades. We will be able to leverage our research, clinical, policy, and program evaluation expertise in the area of diabetes care and prevention in identifying and/or developing talented URG researchers throughout Southern California. UCLA LIFT-UP builds on the scientific strengths in the UCLA CTSI, UCLA Department of Medicine, and the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. We propose three LIFT-UP Program Cores - an Administrative Core (AC), Research Mentorship Core (RMC), and Research Support Core (RSC). The RMC and the RSC will each be co-led by a basic scientist and a clinical outcomes/health services researcher, to enhance coordination of research mentorship and research support for investigators across the translational research spectrum. To accomplish these goals, the UCLA LIFT-UP overarching Specific Aims are to: 1. Provide the comprehensive guidance required to promote successful academic advancement of 14-17 early URG researchers through mentorship and pilot research awards in the areas of obesity and diabetes across the translational research spectrum; 2. Engage URG researchers in cutting-edge laboratory-based science that advances the mechanistic understanding of molecular and physiologic processes related to obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and related conditions; 3. Develop the research infrastructure needed to improve the health of patients with obesity and/or diabetes through the development, implementation, and evaluation of community and health system partnered interventions and policies designed to mitigate health disparities. The goal of LIFT-UP will be to mentor and develop highly skilled early career URG scientists whose passion and careers are devoted to preventing and treating obesity and diabetes, and working to achieve health equity in disease areas aligned with the mission of the NIDDK. We will accomplish this by aggressively identifying and recruiting the most talented URG candidates in Southern California and embedding them in the strongest, most comprehensive faculty development program possible.

项目摘要/摘要 加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA 科学家），提议制定一项研究和指导计划，将有助于多样性 从事NIDDK任务一致的研究职业的科学劳动力。我们的领导团队有一个 在支持博士后研究员和预先仔细的教职员工方面的成就记录很强 代表性不足的群体（URG）获得了外部研究资金和研究独立性的进步。 拟议的多PIS共同领导了类似，非常成功的P30研究中心，用于少数族裔衰老研究 （RCMAR）来自NIA的NIA，招募，参与和支持了61名早期职业URG研究人员 在过去的二十年中，21年的Multi-Pis在NIDDK资金方面都有很强的记录。我们会的 能够利用我们在糖尿病护理领域的研究，临床，政策和计划评估专业知识 并预防在整个南加州识别和/或培养有才华的URG研究人员。 加州大学洛杉矶分校的提升基于UCLA CTSI，加州大学洛杉矶分校医学系的科学优势以及 加州大学洛杉矶分校野生公共卫生学院。我们建议三个提升计划核心 - 行政核心 （AC），研究指导核心（RMC）和研究支持核心（RSC）。 RMC和RSC将每个 由基础科学家和临床成果/卫生服务研究人员共同领导，以增强 转化研究范围内的研究人员的研究指导和研究支持。到 实现这些目标，UCLA提升了总体特定目标是： 1。提供促进14-17的成功学术进步所需的全面指导 通过指导和试点研究奖的早期URG研究人员在肥胖和 翻译研究范围内的糖尿病； 2.让URG研究人员参与最先进的实验室科学，以提高机械的发展 了解与肥胖，胰岛素抵抗，糖尿病，糖尿病，糖尿病相关的分子和生理过程 和相关条件； 3。开发研究基础设施，以改善肥胖症患者和/或 通过对社区和卫生系统的开发，实施和评估进行糖尿病 旨在减轻健康差异的合作干预措施和政策。 举起的目标是指导和发展高技能的早期职业urg科学家，他们的热情 职业专门用于预防和治疗肥胖和糖尿病，并努力实现健康公平 在疾病地区，与NIDDK的任务保持一致。我们将通过积极识别来实现这一目标 并招募南加州最有才华的URG候选人，并将其嵌入最强， 最全面的教师发展计划。
