BERGATOR DEVELOPMENT CORE -项目概要 SDSU HealthLINK跨学科健康差异研究中心（Center for Transdisciplinary Health Disparities Research） 发展核心（IDC）将直接促进少数群体健康和保健的可持续基础设施 差异（MHHD）研究在SDSU提供职业发展和资助机会，为初级 研究人员制定独立和合作的研究议程，并成为未来的领导者， MHHD研究。我们的职业发展模式将使初级调查员能够利用 高级导师产生新的知识，将进一步加强在研究共享资源 基础设施核心的健康数据分析门户和健康科学知识库。国际数据中心 活动还将通过社区参与核心建设伙伴组织的能力。IDC初级 研究人员及其高级导师将与其他中心核心和研究项目合作， 一个由基础生物医学、行为学和临床研究人员组成的多元化社区，致力于共同 减少健康差距和优化所有人的卫生保健结果的目标， 种族/民族、性和性别认同或社会经济地位。IDC将填补的关键空白是 为SDSU的初级调查员提供有限的试点项目资金。因此，IDC的主要目标是为四个 每年在1-5年级开展试点项目，以支持SDSU初级研究人员的职业发展。 在有系统地征求和审查申请后，我们将每年资助一项试验计划， 以下三个领域的每一个：基础生物医学，行为和临床研究。此外，我们将资助 第四个项目是与中心的社区参与核心合作伙伴合作开发的 组织的IDC和中心的行政核心将支持IDC获奖者的职业生涯 通过额外的高级指导和职业提升机会来提升。研究 基础设施核心将通过提供以下方面的访问和培训，促进IDC获奖者完成试点项目 共享资源，然后将试点项目数据和产品集成到卫生数据分析门户 健康科学知识库。社区参与核心将进一步支持IDC 通过将获奖者与潜在的社区合作伙伴联系起来进行研究，并培训获奖者 传播其调查结果的创新方法。最后，IDC将与研究项目合作， 确定可以增强或使用现有研究项目数据的研究问题，从而促进 双向学习最后，国际数据中心将通过提供关键反馈，为中心的发展作出贡献 中心的评估，并促进跨学科，团队科学的方法。很明显，IDC将 满足在促进SDSU初级调查员谁希望进行创新的职业生涯的重大需求 MHHD研究，这增加了SDSU的专业知识和基础设施。

INVESTIGATOR DEVELOPMENT CORE – Project Summary The SDSU HealthLINK Center for Transdisciplinary Health Disparities Research (Center) Investigator Development Core (IDC) will directly contribute to a sustainable infrastructure for minority health and health disparities (MHHD) research at SDSU by providing career development and funding opportunities for junior investigators to develop both independent and collaborative research agendas and become future leaders in MHHD research. Our career enhancement model will allow junior investigators to leverage the expertise of senior mentors to generate new knowledge that will further enhance shared resources in the Research Infrastructure Core's Health Data Analytic Portal and Health Science Knowledge Repository. The IDC activities will also build capacity in partner organizations through the Community Engagement Core. IDC junior investigators and their senior mentors will collaborate with other Center Cores and Research Projects to create a diverse community of basic biomedical, behavioral, and clinical researchers working toward the common goal of reducing health disparities and optimizing health care outcomes for all people regardless of race/ethnicity, sexual and gender identity, or socioeconomic status. The critical gap that the IDC will fill is the limited pilot project funding for junior investigators at SDSU. Thus, the primary aim of the IDC is to fund four pilot projects every year in Years 1-5 to support the career advancement of junior investigators at SDSU. Following a systematic process to solicit and review applications, we will fund one pilot project each year in each of the following three areas: basic biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research. In addition, we will fund a fourth project developed in collaboration with the Center's Community Engagement Core partner organizations. Both the IDC and the Center's Administrative Core will support the IDC awardees' career advancement through additional senior mentorship and career enhancement opportunities. The Research Infrastructure Core will promote IDC awardees' pilot project completion by providing access to and training on shared resources, followed by integration of pilot project data and products into the Health Data Analytic Portal and Health Science Knowledge Repository. The Community Engagement Core will further support IDC awardees by connecting them with potential community partners for research, and training awardees on innovative methods for disseminating their findings. Finally, the IDC will work with the Research Projects to identify research questions that can enhance or use data from existing Research Projects, thereby promoting bidirectional learning. Finally, the IDC will contribute to the Center's development by providing critical feedback on the Center's evaluation, and fostering a transdisciplinary, team science approach. It is clear that the IDC will meet a significant need in furthering the careers of SDSU junior investigators who wish to conduct innovative MHHD research, which increases both expertise and infrastructure at SDSU.
