Project Summary: The T32 program ‘Promoting Academic Workforce Diversity in Translational Behavioral & Cardio-Metabolic Research (PINNACLE)’ at the University of Miami (UM) leverages our experience directing several URM- focused training programs over the past 15 years. The program provides an innovative, theory-based mentored learning experience anchored in an environment of inclusive excellence to promote academic careers of URM postdoctoral mentees. Its programmatic components are informed by the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, and the Ibarra-Thomas Theory. During the two academic years, mentees will receive didactic training in cardio-metabolic, behavioral, and digital health sciences by attending structured courses and workshops at the CTSI’s MS in Clinical Translational Investigation and the NHLBI-funded PRIDE Institute. Consistent with recommendations of the NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education, scholars will participate in individualized and group learning exercises to improve skills in critical thinking, verbal and written communication, time management and other soft skills necessary for academic advancement. They will be mentored while implementing their IDP, including acquisition of professional and lab-based research skills, peer networking, and grant writing. We will implement and evaluate the program for 5 years and track mentees’ achievements for 10 years post completion. Specific outcomes will include number of: 1) peer-reviewed publications and professional presentations; 2) leadership positions, retention and promotion; 3) awards; and 4) federal and non-federal grants. We will also evaluate mentees’ characteristics (self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and resilience) that predict academic success pre and post matriculation. The specific program aims are: 1) To select qualified postdoctoral URM mentees (e.g., PhD, MD, or MD/PhD) with great potential to become innovative and creative leaders in the scientific community, applying translational behavioral models to study and reduce risk of cardio-metabolic diseases (e.g., obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and sleep apnea); 2) To increase mentees’ academic self-efficacy to pursue independent research in translational behavioral cardio-metabolic health. This intensive 2-year program provides exposure to multidisciplinary research methods and digital health technologies utilized to study cardio-metabolic diseases and exposure to instructions to enhance leadership and career development skills; 3) To provide coaching, mentorship, and sponsorship to URM scientists to facilitate entry in academia and transition as independent researchers. PINNACLE will address a critical deficiency in the academic workforce by mentoring a total of 12 URM postdoctoral mentees to pursue careers in translational behavioral and cardio-metabolic research. This will have a strong impact in achieving Healthy People 2030 goal to diversify the academic workforce, thus expanding the capacity to implement translational behavioral models to improve health equity.

项目概要： T32 计划“促进转化行为和心脏代谢方面的学术人员多样性” 迈阿密大学 (UM) 的研究 (PINNACLE) 利用了我们指导多个 URM 的经验- 过去15年的重点培训计划。该计划提供了一种创新的、基于理论的 在包容性卓越的环境中提供辅导学习经验，以促进学术发展 URM 博士后导师的职业生涯。它的程序组件是由以下理论提供的： 计划行为、班杜拉社会认知理论和伊瓦拉-托马斯理论。期间两 学年中，学员将接受心脏代谢、行为和数字健康方面的教学培训 通过参加 CTSI 临床转化硕士学位的结构化课程和研讨会来学习科学知识 调查和 NHLBI 资助的 PRIDE 研究所。符合 NIH 办公室的建议 校内培训和教育，学者将参加个性化和小组学习练习 提高批判性思维、口头和书面沟通、时间管理和其他软技能的技能 学术进步所必需的。他们将在实施 IDP 时得到指导，包括 获得专业和基于实验室的研究技能、同行网络和资助写作。我们将 实施和评估该计划 5 年，并跟踪受训者 10 年后的成就 完成。具体成果将包括以下数量：1) 同行评审出版物和专业成果 演示； 2) 领导职位、保留和晋升； 3）奖项； 4) 联邦和非联邦 补助金。我们还将评估受训者的特征（自我效能、内在动机和适应力） 预测入学前后的学业成功。具体计划目标是： 1）选拔合格的人才 博士后 URM 学员（例如博士、医学博士或医学博士/博士）具有巨大的创新和发展潜力 科学界的创意领袖，应用转化行为模型来研究和减少 心脏代谢疾病的风险（例如肥胖、高血压、糖尿病、血脂异常和睡眠呼吸暂停）； 2） 提高学员的学术自我效能感，以追求转化行为的独立研究 心脏代谢健康。这个为期 2 年的密集课程提供多学科研究的机会 用于研究心脏代谢疾病和接触的方法和数字健康技术 提高领导力和职业发展技能的指导； 3) 提供辅导、指导和 为 URM 科学家提供资助，以促进他们进入学术界并过渡为独立研究人员。 PINNACLE 将通过指导总共 12 名 URM 来解决学术人员队伍的严重缺陷 博士后学员从事转化行为和心脏代谢研究的职业。这将 对实现“健康人类 2030”目标以及学术人员多元化具有重大影响，从而 扩大实施转化行为模型的能力，以改善健康公平。
