Research Education Institute for Diverse Scholars (REIDS)

 描述(由申请人提供)：耶鲁大学艾滋病跨学科研究中心(CIRA)的多样化学者艾滋病毒研究教育研究所(REID)的续期，解决了在艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究领域代表不足的种族和少数族裔学者取得进展的有据可查的挑战和障碍。我们的计划致力于提供社区实施科学行为方面的教育和指导。将招聘和保留五名四名REM学者，每名为高级博士后或初级教员(总计N=20人)。认识到 在设定新调查人员，特别是那些来自代表不足的种族和少数民族群体的新调查人员的生产率和成功轨迹方面，高质量的指导和获得实践经验的机会，REIDS计划包括：(1)为期4周的为期两个夏天的面对面夏季强化暑期研究所，以社区为基础的实施科学；(2)学年期间的在线月度研讨会，重点是对正在进行的研究、专业发展和拨款申请的反馈；(3)开展一个20,000美元的艾滋病毒基于社区的实施科学的试点项目；(4)一项结构化和密集的导师计划，解决种族和少数民族研究员取得进步的结构性和个人障碍，其中包括艾滋病毒预防和实施科学领域领先研究的导师(初级导师)和前研究员的导师(同行导师)。该计划的创新方面包括注重以社区为基础的实施科学，通过CIRA获得前所未有的资源，与其他艾滋病毒奖学金的整合为合作和建立科学网络提供机会，与新英格兰艾滋病毒实施科学网络(来自CIRA和东北部其他大学艾滋病毒中心、社区组织、州和地方卫生部门、社区卫生中心、非政府组织和艾滋病服务提供者的350多名研究人员组成的网络)的整合，为开展实施科学项目提供合作机会，以及使用尖端在线技术将研究员与导师和资源联系起来。REIDS计划有助于为种族和少数民族艾滋病毒研究人员建立重要的技能和知识基础，使他们能够在最需要帮助的社区对疾病产生及时和重大的影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This renewal of the HIV Research Education Institute for Diverse Scholars (REIDS) at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) at Yale University addresses the documented challenges and barriers to the advancement of underrepresented race and ethnic minority scholars in the field of HIV/AIDS research. Our program seeks to provide education and mentorship on the conduct of community-based implementation science. Five cohorts of four REM scholars, each at the advanced postdoctoral or junior faculty level, will be recruited and retained (total N=20). Recognizing the importance of quality mentorship and access to practical experience in setting the trajectory for productivity and success of new investigators, and especially those from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups, the REIDS program consists of: (1) a 4-week intensive face to face Summer Institute for two summers on community-based implementation science; (2) an online monthly seminar during the academic year focusing on feedback on ongoing research, professional development, and grant writing; (3) the conduct of a $20,000 pilot project on HIV community-based implementation science; (4) a structured and intensive Mentorship program that addresses structural and individual barriers to advancement for racial and ethnic minority Fellows that includes mentorship from a leading research in HIV prevention and implementation science (Primary Mentors) and mentorship from a former Fellow (Peer Mentors). Innovative aspects of the program include a focus on community-based implementation science, access to unprecedented resources through CIRA, integration with other HIV Fellowships providing opportunities for collaboration and building of scientific networks, integration with the New England HIV Implementation Science Network (a network of over 350 researchers from CIRA and other university HIV Centers, community-based organizations, state and local health departments, community health centers, non-governmental organizations, and AIDS service providers in the Northeast) providing opportunities for collaborations for the conduct of implementation science projects, and the use of cutting edge online technologies to connect Fellows with Mentors and resources. The REIDS program helps to build an important skill and knowledge base for racial and ethnic minority HIV researchers that will enable them to have a timely and significant impact on the disease in communities that are most in need.
