Program to Increase Diversity in Cardiovascular Health-Related Research (PRIDE-CVD)

该提案旨在继续支持增加心血管健康相关领域多样性的计划， 位于布鲁克林的纽约州立大学（SUNY）下州医学中心的研究（PRIDE-CVD）， 纽约。PRIDE-CVD的目标是指导科学家/临床医生采用多学科方法， 研究心血管健康的差异使用布鲁克林作为一个生活实验室。PRIDE-CVD和之前 SIPID-CVD（增加多样性的暑期学院计划）已经存在了12年， 培训了来自全国78所大学的89名学员。由于这项培训，55%的SIPID/PRIDE-CVD 学员成功地从NIH和非NIH机构获得了同行评审的资金; 36%的人获得了晋升 从助理教授到副教授，他们的出版物增加了5倍。此外，58%的 SIPID/PRIDE-CVD学员提交了目前正在审查的资助提案。在此基础上继续发展 成功和多年的经验，更新计划有以下具体目标： 1：选择和培训有潜力做出贡献的合格的代表性不足的科学家/临床医生 心血管健康差异研究的知识; 2：提供长期量身定制的一对一和同行指导，目标是提交研究资助 应用; 3：在赠款撰写和同行评审方面提供密集的个性化培训和指导， 提高在研究生涯中取得成功的能力; 4.为小型研究项目提供财政支助，以促进向独立过渡; 5：评价PRIDE-CVD的长期有效性。 纽约州立大学Downstate的PRIDE-CVD的特点是：1）与少数民族领导的社区合作， 具有健康差异专业知识的组织; 2）纽约布鲁克林的生活实验室，一个城市环境 在其中进行健康差异和心血管疾病研究; 3）一个著名的教师名册， 少数民族成员; 4）提供12年培训和支持经验的历史背景 代表性不足的初级教师。预计PRIDE-CVD将继续为以下方面做出重大贡献： 提高心血管健康研究方面的高能力少数民族专业人员的人才库。最终目标 在代表性不足的科学家/临床医生队伍中增加多样性，是朝着 缓解心血管疾病方面的健康差距。

This proposal aims to continue support for the Program to Increase Diversity in Cardiovascular Health-Related Research (PRIDE-CVD) at the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. The goal of the PRIDE-CVD is to instruct scientists/clinicians in multidisciplinary approaches to research in cardiovascular health disparities using Brooklyn as a living laboratory. The PRIDE-CVD and before it, SIPID-CVD (Summer Institute Program to Increase Diversity) have been in existence for 12 years and have trained 89 mentees from 78 Universities nationwide. As a result of this training, 55% of SIPID/PRIDE-CVD mentees successfully secured peer reviewed funding from NIH and non-NIH institutions; 36% were promoted from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor and their publications increased by 5-folds. In addition, 58% of SIPID/PRIDE-CVD mentees submitted grant proposals currently under review. To continue to build on this success and years of experience, the renewal Program has the following Specific Aims: 1: To select and train qualified underrepresented scientists/clinicians who have potential to contribute to the knowledge in cardiovascular health disparities research; 2: To provide long-term tailored one to one and peer mentoring with the goal to submit a research grant application; 3: To provide intensive individualized training and guidance in grant writing and peer review in order to enhance the capacity for success in research careers; 4: To provide financial support for small research projects to facilitate transition to independence; 5: To evaluate long-term effectiveness of PRIDE-CVD. The PRIDE-CVD at SUNY Downstate is characterized by: 1) its partnership with minority-led community-based organizations with expertise on health disparities; 2) the living laboratory of Brooklyn, New York, an urban setting in which to conduct health disparities and CVD research; 3) a well renown faculty roster with a high number of minority members; 4) a historical context providing 12 years of experience in training and supporting underrepresented junior faculty. It is expected that the PRIDE-CVD will continue to contribute significantly to improving the pool of highly-capable minority professionals in cardiovascular health research. The ultimate goal in increasing diversity among the ranks of underrepresented scientists/clinicians, is an important step towards alleviating health disparities in cardiovascular diseases.
