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.

项目总结/摘要 UCLA提升（利用机构支持有才华的，代表性不足的医生和/或 科学家），建议制定一项研究和指导计划，这将有助于多样化的 追求与NIDDK使命一致的研究事业的科学工作者。我们的领导团队有一个 在支持博士后研究员和终身教职前教师的成就，从强大的记录 代表性不足的群体（URG）获得外部研究资金，并取得研究独立性的进展。 拟议的多个PI共同领导一个类似的，非常成功的P30少数民族老龄化研究中心 （RCMAR），在过去的一年里，该公司招募、聘用并支持了61名早期职业URG研究人员。 21年来，这两个多PI在过去二十年中都有NIDDK资助的良好记录。我们将 能够利用我们在糖尿病护理领域的研究、临床、政策和项目评估专业知识 在整个南加州识别和/或发展有才华的URG研究人员和预防。 UCLA LIFT-UP建立在UCLA CTSI，UCLA医学部和UCLA的科学优势之上。 加州大学洛杉矶分校菲尔丁公共卫生学院。我们提出了三个提升计划核心-行政核心 (AC)研究指导核心（RMC）和研究支持核心（RSC）。RMC和RSC将分别 由一名基础科学家和一名临床结果/卫生服务研究员共同领导，以加强协调 研究指导和研究支持的研究人员在整个转化研究频谱。到 为了实现这些目标，UCLA LIFT-UP总体具体目标是： 1.提供所需的全面指导，以促进14-17成功的学术进步 早期URG研究人员通过指导和试点研究奖在肥胖领域， 糖尿病跨转化研究谱; 2.让URG研究人员参与尖端的基于实验室的科学， 了解与肥胖，胰岛素抵抗，糖尿病， 及相关条件; 3.发展所需的研究基础设施，以改善肥胖和/或 糖尿病通过社区和卫生系统的发展，实施和评估 旨在减少健康差距的合作干预措施和政策。 电梯的目标将是指导和发展高技能的早期职业URG科学家，他们的热情 致力于预防和治疗肥胖和糖尿病，并致力于实现健康公平 在疾病地区与NIDDK的使命保持一致。我们将通过积极识别 招募南加州最有才华的URG候选人， 最全面的教师发展计划。
