Medical University of South Carolina Mentoring Program in Digestive and Liver Diseases

抽象-MUSC HARP计划 医学代表不足(UIM)的调查人员在医学院中的代表性不足 教职员工。这种代表性偏低的原因很复杂，并被归因于以下因素 隐性偏见、晋升差距、缺乏榜样，尤其是缺乏有效的指导。AS 如上所述，临床结果的人群差异是确定的，并预计会恶化；因此，更多的 需要多样化的生物医学劳动力。 南卡罗来纳医科大学(MUSC)对帮助 NIDDK相关疾病领域的加速研究潜力(HARP)计划旨在为 高质量的指导和培训--从而使NIDDK相关疾病领域的杰出研究成为可能。我们的 愿景是将HARP计划建立为NIDDK相关疾病地区的可持续资源 在美国各地。 通过消化和肝病的HARP计划，我们假设一个指导 UIM和残疾人网络，以补充学员所在大学的现有网络 将提供额外的关键和有价值的指导。因此，我们建议实施创新和 变革性的研究人员指导和培训，以确保消化系统的发展和可持续性 和肝病UIM工作人员。我们提出了三个具体目标如下：目标1--建立 持久的指导关系，并有效地指导一批有才华的UIM早期职业科学家 通过综合和动态的指导，在NIDDK相关研究领域获得独立资助 程序。目标2-增加学者的科学知识、专业技能、动力和资历，以 通过严格的教育和教学计划，在NIDDK相关研究领域追求独立的职业生涯。 目标3--促进HARP方案在NIDDK相关研究领域的长期可行性和成功 通过严格的评估、持续的改进策略以及与其他HARP导师的任务协调 和中锋。MUSC HARP计划不仅将得到MUSC的CTSA的支持，还将得到其丰富的和 有经验的机构培训计划。 总而言之，通过扩大UIM初级调查员的指导和促进跨学科 在导师、学者和NIDDK领导层之间的交流，MUSC HARP计划将大大 在国家一级加强与NIDDK相关的主题性疾病研究。在这里提出的创建努力 并与整个HARP小组合作，期望建立一个有效、高质量、 可持续的、多学科的职业发展计划。

Abstract – MUSC HARP Program Underrepresented in medicine (UIM) investigators are insufficiently represented among medical school faculty. The reasons for this underrepresentation are complex, and have been attributed to such factors as implicit bias, promotion disparities, lack of role models, and in particular, a lack of effective mentorship. As above, population differences in clinical outcomes are well established and expected to worsen; thus, a more diverse biomedical workforce is needed. The overall objective of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) contribution to the Helping to Accelerate Research Potential (HARP) Program in NIDDK related disease areas is to provide ready access to quality mentoring and training - thereby enabling outstanding research in NIDDK related disease areas. Our vision is to establish the HARP program as a sustainable resource for NIDDK related disease areas throughout the U.S. Through the HARP Program in Digestive and Liver Disease, we have hypothesized that a mentoring network for UIMs and persons with disabilities to supplement that which is present in the mentee's university will provide additional critical and valuable mentorship. Therefore, we propose to implement innovative and transformative researcher mentorship and training to ensure development and sustainability of the digestive and liver disease UIM workforce. We have proposed the 3 Specific Aims as follows: Aim 1 - to establish durable mentoring relationships and to effectively mentor a cadre of talented UIM early career scientists to become independently funded in NIDDK related research areas through an integrated and dynamic mentorship program. Aim 2 - Increase scholars' scientific knowledge, professional skills, motivation, and credentials to pursue independent careers in NIDDK-related research areas via a rigorous educational and didactic program. Aim 3 – to promote the long-term viability and success of the HARP Program in NIDDK related research areas through rigorous evaluation, ongoing improvement strategies, and mission alignment with other HARP mentors and centers. The MUSC HARP program will be supported not only by MUSC's CTSA, but also by its rich and experienced institutional training programs. In summary, through expansion of mentorship of UIM junior investigators and promotion of interdisciplinary exchange among mentors, Scholar's, and NIDDK leadership, the MUSC HARP Program will substantially augment thematic NIDDK related disease research on a national level. The founding efforts proposed here and in collaboration with the entire HARP group are expected to establish an effective, high quality, sustainable, and multidisciplinary career development program.
