Investigator Development Core – Project Summary The RCMI program’s objectives are to enable investigators to become more successful in obtaining competitive extramural support from NIH, particularly for research into diseases that disproportionately impact minority and other health disparity populations, and to foster environments conducive to career enhancement. The goal of the RCMI@Morgan Investigator Development Core (IDC) is to support the development and enhance the competitiveness of diverse investigators in basic biomedical, behavioral and/or clinical sciences, with particular emphasis on early-stage investigators. The IDC’s activities will center on (1) the administration of a pilot grant program, (2) provision of additional writing and research support, and (3) community building. Morgan State University’s (MSU) research faculty will be better positioned to be successful applicants for NIH funding if they have been intentionally mentored on the steps and components of the research and grant application process, experienced the review process, and, particularly, provided support for revision and resubmission. Further, finding the time and the discipline to write is challenging in a teaching-intensive environment, and publishing research findings in peer-reviewed journals is an important factor in future success in being awarded funding for research proposals, and thus the IDC will convene Science Writing Accountability Groups (SWAGs), peer accountability groups designed to increase productivity via weekly structured meetings. The high teaching load at MSU can have an isolating effect on our faculty. There seems to be little time for them to attend research seminars on neighboring campuses, and scarce funds to travel to research conferences. Hence, faculty have limited opportunities to build a network of collaborators, let alone acquire new research skills or become familiar with new methodologies and equipment, which hinders faculty from using cutting-edge approaches in their research. Early-career investigators, in particular, need to build robust academic research support networks to have successful careers. A well-structured mentoring program for early career faculty and the opportunity for faculty summer research partnerships and longer-term structured mentorships with faculty at research-intensive partner institutions will help to address this deficit. An innovative aspect of MSU’s approach is to strategically encourage interdisciplinary conversation and collaboration between social/behavioral scientists and basic researchers in STEM disciplines. Providing structured but informal occasions for faculty focusing on health disparities research to network with each other and with bench scientists will create opportunities for cross-fertilization of research ideas and approaches, and the potential to initiate and strengthen research and writing collaborations, among faculty from MSU and from research partner institutions. The IDC’s aims are designed to equip MSU’s investigators with what they need to become successful, funded and productive biomedical and behavioral health investigators and to advance their research careers.

研究者发展核心-项目总结 RCMI计划的目标是使研究人员能够更成功地获得竞争力， 来自NIH的校外支持，特别是对那些不成比例地影响少数民族和其他民族的疾病的研究 健康差距人口，并促进有利于职业发展的环境。的目标 RCMI@Morgan Investigator Development Core（IDC）是一个支持开发和提高竞争力的平台， 基础生物医学，行为和/或临床科学的不同研究者，特别强调早期阶段 investigators. IDC的活动将集中在（1）管理试点赠款计划，（2）提供额外的 写作和研究支持;（3）社区建设。 摩根州立大学（MSU）的研究人员将更好地成为NIH的成功申请者 如果他们在研究和赠款申请的步骤和组成部分上得到了有意的指导， 在审查过程中，经历了审查过程，特别是为修订和重新提交提供了支持。此外，本发明还 在教学密集型的环境中，找到写作的时间和纪律是具有挑战性的， 在同行评审期刊上发表的研究结果是未来成功获得研究资金的重要因素 因此，IDC将召集科学写作责任小组（SWAGs），同行责任小组 旨在通过每周结构化会议提高生产力。 MSU的高教学负荷可能会对我们的教师产生隔离效应。他们似乎没有多少时间 参加邻近校园的研究研讨会，以及稀缺的资金去参加研究会议。因此，我们认为， 教师建立合作者网络的机会有限，更不用说获得新的研究技能或成为 熟悉新的方法和设备，这阻碍了教师使用尖端的方法，在他们的 research.特别是早期职业调查人员，需要建立强大的学术研究支持网络， 成功的职业生涯。一个结构良好的指导计划，为早期职业教师和教师夏季的机会 与研究密集型合作机构的教师建立研究伙伴关系和长期结构性导师关系， 帮助弥补这一赤字。 MSU方法的一个创新方面是战略性地鼓励跨学科对话， 社会/行为科学家和STEM学科基础研究人员之间的合作。结构化，但 非正式的场合，为教师专注于健康差距研究，以网络与对方和板凳 科学家们将创造机会，使研究思想和方法相互交流，并有可能发起 并加强研究和写作合作，从密歇根州立大学和研究伙伴机构的教师之间。 IDC的目标是为密歇根州立大学的调查人员提供成功所需的一切， 和富有成效的生物医学和行为健康调查人员，并推进他们的研究事业。
