Investigator Development Core

调查员开发核心(IDC)建立在两国之间良好的合作伙伴关系之上 梅哈里医学院-美国最大的非裔美国人生物医学博士和 范德比尔特大学医学中心是社区参与研究的领导者-精确度和 个性化医学，以及迈阿密大学-健康差距研究和国际中心 培训拉丁裔卫生专业人员。IDC将支持博士后研究员的职业发展， 从事行为、临床和翻译研究的早期教员和其他早期研究人员(ESI) 重点关注慢性疾病中的健康差距，这些疾病对非洲裔美国人、拉美裔美国人和 其他经历健康差距的人群。IDC的首要目标是生产下一个 成功的一代 研究行为、临床和转化性研究的研究人员专注于 慢性病方面的健康差距。为实现这一目标，国际数据中心的一项主要活动将是有效 管理试点奖励计划，旨在允许ESI以极高的可能性产生初步结果 支持美国国立卫生研究院成功的校外拨款建议。IDC将确保将ESI链接到 出色的本地职业发展机会，提升参与度、进取力和领导力 能力。IDC将应用创新战略，提供强大的研究职业发展资源， 利用技术和数据科学解决慢性病的差异，并指导初级教职员工 和博士后研究员，并为每个IDC参与者创建一个全面、个性化和严格的轨道。至 为了实现这些目标，IDC将追求三个具体目标：1)管理一个试点奖励计划， 支持关注慢性病健康差距的研究项目。项目将由ESI领导，包括 强调支持那些来自生物医学研究劳动力中代表性不足的背景的人； 2)确保指导试点获奖者，特别是那些背景在 生物医学研究队伍，以提高外部资金的竞争力。我们将提供一致的、 在申请试点奖项之前和之后对ESI进行积极、熟练的指导；以及3)培养学术能力 技能发展和科学团队建设，强调为所有ESI提供参与式研究培训。国际数据中心 被设想为一块磁铁和一个引擎-一块吸引ESI进入慢性病健康差距的磁铁 研究和一个引擎，培养他们成功地获得国家卫生研究院的拨款。新的校外赠款资金 这是IDC整体努力和提供支持的结果，最终将有助于更健康 全国范围内的社区。

The Investigator Development Core (IDC) is built upon a well-established collaborative partnership between Meharry Medical College - the nation’s top producer of African American PhDs in biomedical sciences and a leader in community-engaged research, Vanderbilt University Medical Center - a global leader in precision and personalized medicine, and the University of Miami - an international hub for health disparities research and training of Latino health professionals. The IDC will support the career development of post-doctoral fellows, early-career faculty, and other early-stage investigators (ESI) in behavioral, clinical, and translational research focused on health disparities in chronic diseases that disproportionately affect African Americans, Latinos, and other populations experiencing health disparities. The overarching goal of the IDC is to produce the next generation of successful investigators studying behavioral, clinical, and translational research focused on health disparities in chronic diseases. To achieve this goal, a primary activity of the IDC will be to effectively administer a pilot awards program designed to allow ESI to generate preliminary results with a high likelihood of supporting successful extramural grant proposals to NIH. The IDC will assure that ESI are linked to outstanding local career development opportunities to enhance participation, advancement, and leadership capabilities. The IDC will apply innovative strategies to provide robust research career development resources, leveraging technology and data science to address disparities in chronic diseases, and mentoring junior faculty and post-doctoral fellows, and create a holistic, individualized, and rigorous track for each IDC participant. To achieve these goals, the IDC will pursue three specific aims: 1) To administer a pilot awards program that supports research projects focused on health disparities in chronic diseases. Projects will be led by ESI, with an emphasis on supporting those from backgrounds underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce; 2) To ensure mentoring of pilot awardees, particularly those from backgrounds underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce, to enhance competitiveness for extramural funding. We will provide consistent, proactive, skilled mentoring to ESI both before and after they apply for pilot awards; and 3) To foster academic skills development and scientific team building, emphasizing participatory research training for all ESI. The IDC is envisioned as a magnet and an engine - a magnet that attracts ESI into chronic disease health disparities research and an engine that nurtures them toward success in NIH grant funding. New extramural grant funding that results from the overall efforts of, and support provided by, the IDC will ultimately contribute to healthier communities nationwide.
