Obesity Health Disparities Research PRIDE Program (OHD PRIDE)

摘要 许多报告呼吁采取新的干预措施来预防肥胖和缓解目前肥胖的高发病率。 肥胖症及其预计的上升。为了实现这些目标，美国多样化的生物医学劳动力 国家是必要的，这一需要在任职人数不足的群体中尤为明显。 在2016年的报告《共同绘制未来：NHLBI战略愿景》中，国家心肺和 血液研究所(NHLBI)呼吁发展和维持一支能够 完成这项任务。增加该领域生物医学研究队伍的规模和多样性 消除肥胖健康差距是实现NHLBI使命的关键组成部分，也是满足 到2020年将成年人肥胖比例降低到33.9%的国家目标。在过去的四年里，我们 网站-肥胖健康差异(OHD Pride)-一直是七个受资助的网站之一，用于开发和 为职业生涯早期的教师实施全面的研究培训和指导计划 在生物医学科学中代表性不足的群体(R25HL126145)。在此续期申请中，我们 描述我们实施和评估完善的循证、文化和 专门针对符合条件的早期职业者的环境相关研究、培训和指导计划 受雇于HBCU和/或在HBCU接受培训的教师。OHD Pride将由五个阶段组成：(1)最初的10- 暑期强化面授计划；(2)持续的网络写作责任小组(WAGs) 在学年期间；(3)为期3天的年中辅导会议；(4)最终为期4天的面对面 暑期计划；以及(5)扩大我们正在进行的校友计划，旨在创造一个可持续的 超越计划的研究培训经验的智力和社会支持网络，建立在我们的 现有的校友。我们提议的计划将继续提供以社区为基础的干预技能培训 和次级数据分析，以解决肥胖差距问题。 好了！

ABSTRACT Numerous reports have called for new interventions to prevent obesity and mitigate the current high rates of obesity and their projected rise. In order to achieve these aims, a diverse biomedical workforce in the United States is needed, and this need is particularly pronounced among individuals from underrepresented groups. In the 2016 report “Charting the Future Together: The NHLBI Strategic Vision,” the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) calls for developing and sustaining the diversity of a scientific workforce capable of accomplishing this mission. Increasing the size and diversity of the biomedical research workforce in the field of obesity health disparities is a critical component of achieving NHLBI’s mission, and is essential to meet the national goal of reducing the proportion of adults who are obese to 33.9% by 2020. For the past four years, our site – Obesity Health Disparities (OHD PRIDE) - has been one of seven PRIDE sites funded to develop and implement a comprehensive research training and mentoring program for early-career faculty members from groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (R25HL126145). In this renewal application, we describe our strategy for implementing and evaluating a refined evidence-based, culturally- and environmentally-relevant research training and mentoring program specifically targeting eligible early-career faculty who are employed and/or trained at HBCUs. OHD PRIDE will consist of five phases: (1) an initial 10- day intensive face-to-face summer program; (2) ongoing web-based Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) during the academic year; (3) a 3-day mid-year mentored meeting; (4) a culminating 4-day face-to-face summer program; and (5) an expansion of our ongoing alumni program, designed to create a sustainable network of intellectual and social support beyond the program’s research training experience that builds on our existing alumni. Our proposed program will continue to provide skills training in community-based interventions and secondary data analyses to address obesity disparities. !
