During FY22, NIMHD DIR supported and promoted diversity by engaging in our own diversity programs, funding other diversity initiatives across the NIH campus, and committee service activities related to NIH racial and ethnic equity and workforce diversity. In FY22, NIMHD DIR continued its two flagship programs to promote diversity, the NIMHD William G. Coleman Jr., PhD, Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Innovation Award and the NIMHD DIR Adjunct Investigator program. NIMHD DIR expanded its collaborative efforts to increase the diversity of the biomedical workforce by joining the partnership supporting the Inter-Institute Endocrinology Training Program (IETP) is a three-year training program that seeks to train internal medicine physicians to become first-rate endocrinologists dedicated to investigative careers. NIMHD DIR assisted with interviews and selection and is providing funding of one 3-year spot in the program for a fellow focused on health disparities. In addition, NIMHD DIR continued to fund and host three summer interns focused on health disparities research. Two are from the partnership we have with the NINDS Health Disparities in Tribal Communities Summer Internship Program, and one was a medical student from our partnership with the Eastern Virginia Medical School/Norfolk State University/NIMHD DIR that is working on student training and creating pathways to graduate/professional programs, faculty development and health disparities research for underrepresented students. NIMHD DIR also partnered with the NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE) NIH Academy on Health Disparities, contributing lectures and planning activities for the coming year. Diversity Scholar Program. During FY22, our new Tenure-Track Investigators (TTIs) who will start October 15, 2022, Dr. Jinani Jayasekera, was selected for the NIH Distinguished Scholars Program (DSP), which aims to foster a culture of diversity and inclusion at NIH using a cohort model. So far, all 6 of DIRs TTIs have been selected for the DSP (except for one who was hired before the program existed and is now a Senior Investigator) and are supporting workforce diversity at NIH as active members of this cohort model program. Inter-Institute Endocrinology Fellowship Program (IEFP). The IEFP is a 3-year Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited training program that provides physicians and physician scientists with cutting-edge research and clinical endocrinology experiences. The program leaders are strongly committed to DEI and have invited NIMHD DIR to join. NIMHD is assisting with promotion of this opportunity and funded one 3-year slot for a trainee interested in health disparities research starting FY22. DEI-related Committee Service. DIR investigators are making tremendous contributions to DEI efforts at NIH through committee service. Four of our investigators participate on review committees (2 as Co-Chairs) for the NIH centralized Stadtman TTI search. In doing so, they are promoting the value of health disparities and minority health research at NIH and helping to bring diversity and inclusion to the forefront in consideration of candidates. Stadtman applicants are now required to submit a statement as part of their application that focuses on their mentoring philosophy and activities related to mentoring women and persons from underrepresented minority groups. Review committees are instructed also to include such details in their summary statements and ratings of candidates. This information is helpful to the NIH Scientific Directors (SDs) in hiring TTIs who are committed to DEIA. The Scientific Director continued to Co-Chair the N Committee of the NIH UNITE initiative focused on creating new research on minority health and health disparities and two NIMHD DIR investigators were founding members of the NIMHD Racial and Ethnic Equity Committee (REEC), Dr. Kelvin Choi (Co-Chair) and Dr. Leonardo Mario-Ramirez. The REEC has developed the NINHD Racial and Equity Plan, which specifies the objectives and activities of NIMHD related to racial and ethnic equity and DEIA more broadly. Dr. Kelvin Choi is Co-Chairing a new intramural Asian American Pacific Islander Health Scientific Interest Group (AAPI-HSIG) and the Health Disparities Interest Group at NIH. Dr. Npoles continued to serve on the MRSP Executive Steering Committee. Mentoring/training Activities. During FY22, NIMHD DIR served as the primary site for mentoring and training of a total of 41 trainees: 7 post-doctoral fellows, 2 pre-doctoral fellows, 21 post-baccalaureate fellows, 10 summer interns, and 1 medical research scholar program fellow. Two of the post-doctoral and one of the post-baccalaureate fellows were hosted by Dr. Shannon Zenks lab whose research program is hosted by NIMHD DIR. The overwhelming majority of these trainees were from underrepresented groups, e.g., African American, Latino, American Indian, South Asian, and most were women. Demand for traineeship opportunities within DIR has always exceeded capacity. Continued growth in the number of DIR investigators will help meet this demand.

在 22 财年期间，NIMHD DIR 通过参与我们自己的多元化计划、资助 NIH 校园内的其他多元化举措以及与 NIH 种族和民族公平以及劳动力多元化相关的委员会服务活动来支持和促进多元化。 2022 财年，NIMHD DIR 继续实施两个旗舰项目来促进多样性，即 NIMHD William G. Coleman Jr. 博士、少数族裔健康和健康差异研究创新奖以及 NIMHD DIR 兼职研究员项目。 NIMHD DIR 通过加入支持机构间内分泌培训计划 (IETP) 的合作伙伴关系，扩大了合作努力，以增加生物医学劳动力的多样性。IETP 是一个为期三年的培训计划，旨在培训内科医生成为致力于研究职业的一流内分泌学家。 NIMHD DIR 协助面试和选拔，并为一名关注健康差异的研究员提供为期 3 年的项目资助。 此外，NIMHD DIR 继续资助和接待三名专注于健康差异研究的暑期实习生。 两名来自我们与 NINDS 部落社区健康差异暑期实习计划的合作伙伴，一名是来自我们与东弗吉尼亚医学院/诺福克州立大学/NIMHD DIR 合作伙伴的医学生，该项目致力于学生培训并为研究生/专业项目、教师发展和针对代表性不足的学生的健康差异研究创造途径。 NIMHD DIR 还与 NIH 校内培训和教育办公室 (OITE) NIH 健康差异学院合作，为来年提供讲座和规划活动。 多元化学者计划。 2022 财年期间，将于 2022 年 10 月 15 日开始任职的新任终身教职研究员 (TTI) Jinani Jayasekera 博士被选为 NIH 杰出学者计划 (DSP) 成员，该计划旨在利用队列模型在 NIH 培养多元化和包容性的文化。 到目前为止，所有 6 名 DIR TTI 均已被选为 DSP（除了一名在该计划存在之前受聘的人，现在是高级研究员），并作为该队列模型计划的积极成员支持 NIH 的劳动力多样性。 机构间内分泌学奖学金计划（IEFP）。 IEFP 是一项经过研究生医学教育认证委员会 (ACGME) 认证的为期 3 年的培训计划，为医生和医师科学家提供前沿的研究和临床内分泌学经验。项目负责人坚定致力于 DEI，并邀请 NIMHD DIR 加入。 NIMHD 正在协助推广这一机会，并从 2022 财年开始为对健康差异研究感兴趣的实习生提供为期 3 年的资助。 DEI 相关委员会服务。 DIR 调查人员通过委员会服务为 NIH 的 DEI 工作做出了巨大贡献。 我们的四名研究人员参加了 NIH 集中式 Stadtman TTI 检索的审查委员会（其中 2 名作为联合主席）。通过这样做，他们正在宣传 NIH 的健康差异和少数族裔健康研究的价值，并帮助将多样性和包容性带到考虑候选人的最前沿。 Stadtman 申请人现在需要提交一份声明，作为申请的一部分，重点介绍其指导理念以及与指导女性和代表性不足的少数群体相关的活动。 审查委员会还被要求将这些细节纳入其摘要陈述和候选人评级中。此信息有助于 NIH 科学主任 (SD) 雇用致力于 DEIA 的 TTI。 科学主任继续担任 NIH UNITE 倡议 N 委员会的联合主席，该倡议专注于对少数民族健康和健康差异进行新的研究，两名 NIMHD DIR 调查员是 NIMHD 种族和民族平等委员会 (REEC) 的创始成员，Kelvin Choi 博士（联合主席）和 Leonardo Mario-Ramirez 博士。 REEC 制定了 NINHD 种族和公平计划，该计划更广泛地规定了 NIMHD 与种族和民族公平以及 DEIA 相关的目标和活动。 Kelvin Choi 博士是 NIH 新成立的校内亚裔美国人太平洋岛民健康科学兴趣小组 (AAPI-HSIG) 和健康差异兴趣小组的联合主席。 Npoles 博士继续在 MRSP 执行指导委员会任职。 指导/培训活动。 2022 财年，NIMHD DIR 成为指导和培训总共 41 名学员的主要场所：7 名博士后研究员、2 名博士前研究员、21 名学士后研究员、10 名暑期实习生和 1 名医学研究学者项目研究员。 两名博士后和一名学士学位后研究员由 Shannon Zenks 博士实验室主持，该实验室的研究项目由 NIMHD DIR 主持。这些学员绝大多数来自代表性不足的群体，例如非洲裔美国人、拉丁美洲人、美洲印第安人、南亚人，其中大多数是女性。 DIR 内对实习机会的需求始终超出其容量。 DIR 调查员数量的持续增长将有助于满足这一需求。
