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

这项提案旨在继续支持增加心血管健康相关多样性的计划 纽约州立大学(SUNY)布鲁克林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 以布鲁克林为活实验室的心血管健康差异研究。骄傲-CVD和之前 IT、SIPID-CVD(增加多样性夏季学院计划)已存在12年，并已 培训了来自全国78所大学的89名学员。作为这次培训的结果，55%的SIPID/Pride-CVD 受训者成功地从NIH和非NIH机构获得同行评审资金；36%的人获得晋升 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/PARE-CVD学员提交了目前正在审查的赠款提案。继续在此基础上继续发展 成功和多年的经验，续订计划有以下具体目标： 1：挑选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 对心血管健康差异研究的认识； 2：提供长期量身定制的一对一和同行指导，目标是提交研究补助金 申请； 3：在赠款撰写和同行评审方面提供深入的个别化培训和指导，以便 增强在研究事业中取得成功的能力； 4：为小型研究项目提供资金支持，以促进向独立过渡； 5：评价Pride-CVD的远期疗效。 纽约州立大学下城的Pride-CVD的特点是：1)与少数族裔领导的社区合作 对健康差距有专门知识的组织；2)纽约布鲁克林的生活实验室，一个城市环境 其中进行健康差距和心血管疾病研究；3)著名的教职员工名单，拥有大量 少数民族成员；4)提供12年培训和支持经验的历史背景 初级教职员工的代表性不足。预计Pride-CVD将继续对以下方面作出重大贡献 加强心血管健康研究领域高能力的少数民族专业人才队伍建设。终极目标 在代表不足的科学家/临床医生队伍中增加多样性，是迈向 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.
