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： 该T32计划'促进学术劳动力的多样性，在翻译行为和代谢 迈阿密大学（UM）的“研究（PINNACLE）”利用我们指导几个URM的经验， 在过去的15年里，专注于培训项目。该计划提供了一个创新的，基于理论的 在包容性卓越的环境中锚定的指导学习经验，以促进学术 URM博士后学员的职业生涯。其方案组成部分是由理论的通知， 计划行为、班杜拉的社会认知理论和伊巴拉-托马斯理论。在两 学年，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MS的结构化课程和研讨会， 调查和NHLBI资助的骄傲研究所。根据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时接受指导，包括 获得专业和实验室为基础的研究技能，同行网络，并授予写作。我们将 实施和评估该计划5年，并跟踪学员的成就10年后 建成具体成果将包括：1）同行评审的出版物和专业 介绍; 2）领导职位、保留和晋升; 3）奖励;以及4）联邦和非联邦 赠款。我们还将评估学员的特征（自我效能，内在动机和弹性）， 预测入学前和入学后的学业成功。具体计划目标是：1）选择合格的 博士后URM学员（例如，博士、医学博士或医学博士/博士），具有成为创新和 科学界的创造性领导者，应用翻译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，以进行翻译行为的独立研究 心脏代谢健康这个为期2年的密集计划提供了接触多学科研究 用于研究心脏代谢疾病和暴露于 指导，以提高领导和职业发展技能; 3）提供辅导，导师， 赞助URM科学家，以促进进入学术界和过渡为独立的研究人员。 PINNACLE将通过指导总共12个URM来解决学术劳动力的严重不足 博士后学员追求在转化行为和心脏代谢研究的职业生涯。这将 在实现健康的人2030年的目标，以多样化的学术劳动力，从而产生重大影响， 扩大实施转化行为模式的能力，以改善卫生公平。
