Pilot Project Core

项目摘要 目前需要解决美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加土著人代表不足的问题 公共卫生领域的研究人员。国家药物滥用研究所种族平等倡议 认识到吸毒研究总体上缺乏种族/族裔多样性，需要辅导、资助、培训， 和保留不同的研究人员。拟议的CIRCLE中心（P50）的试点项目核心将解决 这需要为土著和相关研究人员提供试点项目资金， 与土著社区建立伙伴关系，消除物质使用不平等现象。试点项目核心领导团队 在新的和早期阶段的土著研究人员的指导方面表现出成功的合作 并将得到行政核心的支持，以实现其目标和具体目标：1）确定 开展独立药物使用研究职业的优先事项和障碍可以通过以下方式解决 CIRCLE试点项目资金; 2）为CIRCLE试点项目申请创建审查程序，以鼓励 创新，特别项目和新的方向，以减少物质使用的差异和促进土著 健康公平; 3）促进与CIRCLE研究核心和工作组的协同作用，以支持试点项目 获奖者倾听会议将推动试点项目申请过程的发展。一个审查小组， 来自CIRCLE调查小组，CIRCLE社区研究委员会和其他主题的代表 地区专家将评估试点项目申请，以确保选择有望成功的项目 并与CIRCLE的总体目标和宗旨保持一致。试点项目核心旨在利用资源 从其他CIRCLE核心，将促进最佳的指导和网络机会，为资助试点 研究人员参加由行政核心组织主办的循环年度会议， 由研究核心赞助的研究方法，参加CIRCLE会议（例如，季度 合作者），并参加教学会议和讲习班， 尽可能高的道德和行政标准将确保试点项目核心支持新的 药物使用科学的早期研究人员开始了成功的职业生涯。

PROJECT SUMMARY There is an ongoing need to address underrepresentation of American Indian and Alaska Native (Indigenous) researchers in the public health workforce. The National Institute on Drug Abuse Racial Equity Initiative recognizes an overall lack of racial/ethnic diversity in drug use research and need for mentoring, funding, training, and retention of diverse researchers. The Pilot Project Core of the proposed CIRCLE Center (P50) will address this need with pilot project funding for Indigenous and allied researchers working specifically on topics related to substance use inequities in partnership with Indigenous communities. The Pilot Project Core leadership team has demonstrated successful collaboration in the mentorship of new and early-stage Indigenous researchers and will be supported by the Administrative Core to carry out its objectives and specific aims to: 1) determine priorities and barriers to launching independent substance use research careers that can be addressed via CIRCLE Pilot Project funding; 2) create a review process for CIRCLE Pilot Project applications to encourage innovations, special projects, and new directions to reduce substance use disparities and advance Indigenous health equity; and 3) promote synergy with the CIRCLE Research Core and Workgroups to support Pilot Project awardees. Listening sessions will drive development of the pilot project application process. A review team with representatives from the CIRCLE investigative team, CIRCLE Community Research Councils, and other subject area experts will evaluate pilot project applications to ensure selection of projects that are poised for success and aligned with CIRCLE's overall goals and aims. The Pilot Project Core is designed to leverage resources from the other CIRCLE Cores that will promote optimal mentorship and networking opportunities for funded pilot researchers. Participation in the CIRCLE annual meeting sponsored by the Administrative Core, training in research methodologies sponsored by the Research Core, attendance at CIRCLE meetings (e.g., Quarterly Collaboratives), and participation in didactic meetings and workshops aimed at conducting research to the highest ethical and administrative standards possible will ensure that the Pilot Project Core is supporting new and early-stage researchers in substance use science launch successful careers.
