Promoting Under-Representative Minorities in Pulmonary and Sleep Research (PURPOSE)

项目摘要 这个新的T32应用程序提出了一个研究培训计划，为代表不足的医生科学家在 迈阿密大学（UM）米勒医学院的肺部和睡眠障碍医学领域。 PURPoSe（促进肺部和睡眠研究中代表不足的少数群体）培训计划 将设在肺，重症监护和睡眠医学在UM部门，并将利用教师 来自机构各部门的信息主要目标是提供一个严格和肥沃的环境 为代表性不足的博士后研究员提供培训，并促进他们发展成为学术医生- 科学家T32计划将在基础，翻译和健康服务方面提供卓越的培训平台 研究开发独立的，成功的，高影响力的医生研究人员在肺和睡眠 药学员将获得三个科学重点领域：轨道A将侧重于病因，风险， 以及与阻塞性气道疾病相关的结果（即，哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺病）。 轨道B将提供肺癌/戒烟的生物学、影响和卫生保健差异方面的培训; 和轨道C将侧重于改善与阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停/睡眠障碍有关的结果， 服务不足。学员将选择一个重点的主要轨道。T32赠款的目标将通过以下方式实现： 指导，教学和体验式曝光利用所有UM附属机构，包括UM卫生系统， 西尔维斯特综合癌症中心、杰克逊卫生系统和布鲁斯W。卡特省 退伍军人事务医疗中心提供了一个无与伦比的机会，以解决肺的关键优先事项 睡眠医学该计划将得到21名导师的支持，他们每年的赠款总额为11.7美元。 经费导师包括10个MD，9个博士和2个MD/博士跨几个部门。导师们， 在阻塞性肺疾病流行病学和结果、气道生物学、程序方面具有杰出的专业知识 肺癌的早期筛查和基本机制，以及睡眠障碍药物。培训（例如，教学法， 研讨会，在线模块）已与要获得的能力（例如，临床流行病学 研究方法，生物统计学，研究的道德行为，和赠款写作），并将利用 机构对特定分组的访问（例如，种族/族裔、性/性别认同）和应用 方法（例如，基础科学、临床/转化研究、传播/实施科学、卫生和 差异研究）。这个T32培训计划每年将支持两名博士后研究员。申请者将被 预计有一个医学博士谁是同时参加肺，重症监护，和睡眠医学后， 博士奖学金将为受训人员制定个人发展计划，以便于监督， 导师内部和外部咨询委员会、多元化和包容性委员会以及仲裁委员会将 提供持续的评估和反馈，以确保T32计划的目标得到有效实现。

PROJECT SUMMARY This new T32 application proposes a research training program for under-represented physician scientists in the areas of pulmonary and sleep disorders medicine at the University of Miami (UM), Miller School of Medicine. The PURPoSe (Promoting Under-Represented Minorities in Pulmonary and Sleep Research) training program will be based in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at UM and will leverage the faculty from various departments across the institution. The primary goal is to provide a rigorous and fertile environment of training for underrepresented post-doctoral fellows and foster their development into academic physician- scientists. The T32 program will offer an exceptional training platform in basic, translational, and health services research to develop independent, successful, high-impact physician researchers in Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. Three areas of scientific focus will be available to the trainees: Track A will focus on the etiology, risk, and outcomes related to obstructive airways disease (i.e., asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Track B will offer training in the biology, impact, and health-care disparities in lung cancer/smoking cessation; and Track C will focus on improving outcomes related to obstructive sleep apnea/sleep disorders in the underserved. Trainees will select a primary track of emphasis. The goals of this T32 grant will be achieved via mentored, didactic, and experiential exposures leveraging all UM affiliates including the UM-Health System, the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Jackson Health System, and the Bruce W. Carter Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center to provide an unparalleled opportunity to address key priorities in Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. The program will be supported by 21 mentors who have grants totaling $11.7 in annual funding. Mentors include 10 MDs, 9 PhDs and 2 MD/PhDs across several departments. Collectively, mentors have outstanding expertise in obstructive lung disease epidemiology and outcomes, airway biology, programs for early screening and basic mechanisms of lung cancer, and sleep disorders medicine. Training (e.g., didactics, seminars, online modules) has been aligned with the competencies to be gained (e.g., epidemiology, clinical research methods, biostatistics, ethical conduct of research, and grant writing) and will capitalizes on the institutional access to specific subgroups (e.g., race/ethnicity, sexual/gender identity) and expertise in applied methods (e.g., basic science, clinical/translational research, dissemination/implementation science, health and disparities research). This T32 training program will support two postdoctoral fellows per year. Applicants will be expected to have a MDs who are concurrently enrolled in the Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine post- doctoral fellowship. Individual development plans (IDPs) will be created for trainees to facilitate oversight by mentors. Internal and External Advisory Boards, and Diversity and Inclusion, and Arbitration committees will provide ongoing evaluation and feedback to ensure that the goals of T32 program are effectivelymet.
