PRIDE SUMMER INSTITUTE IN CARDIOVASCULAR GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY

PRIDE的主要目标是圣路易斯华盛顿大学医学院的“心血管遗传流行病学”（RFA-HL-10-019）项目旨在帮助培训和指导来自不同种族群体的初级教师（特别是代表不足的少数民族，URM）和残疾科学家在与国家心脏，肺，血液研究所（NHLBI）该计划将扩大遗传流行病学和心血管研究的基本培训和强化指导。为此，目前正在进行的SIPID（RFA - HL- 04- 035）暑期研究所计划将被精简和加强，使用教学指导，调查讲座和动手计算机实验室的组合。具体目标涉及：在最初的三年中，每年招募一批8名学员，为他们提供为期三周的第一次夏季学院，然后是为期一年的指导，包括为期两天的年中会议，然后是为期三周的第二次夏季学院。一般来说，将招聘处于职业生涯早期阶段的初级教员和科学家。 对于每个被招募的队列，第一个暑期学院将包括一些关键概念和方法的实践学习，通过与导师和项目主任密切合作制定职业规划和独立研究计划。随后将进行为期一年的指导，并举行年中会议，对不断发展的研究计划进行批评。学员将返回第二届暑期学院，该学院将充分利用参与机构和导师的非凡资源，主要致力于批评，修改和敲定赠款申请草案。模拟研究部分将组织审查和批评不断变化的赠款，为他们提供充分的反馈，以改进和最终提交资金。拟议计划的两个亮点是：在暑期学院的大部分时间里举行的“小组头脑风暴”会议，所有可用的导师和学员聚集在一起，共同审查，分析和改进学员不断发展的研究计划，以及专门针对不同教师面临的独特挑战和障碍的特别研讨会。评估和跟踪工具已经在SIPID方案范围内到位。该计划的有效性将主要通过独立赠款的进展来衡量，出版物的进展作为成功的次要衡量标准。

The primary goal of the proposed PRIDE (RFA-HL-10-019) program at Washington University in St. Louis, School of Medicine, in "Cardiovascular Genetic Epidemiology" is to help train and mentor junior faculty from diverse ethnic groups (especially Under Represented Minorities, URM) and scientists with disabilities to develop as independent research investigators in an area of programmatic relevance to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The program will extend basic training and intensive mentoring in genetic epidemiology and cardiovascular research. Toward this end, the currently ongoing SIPID (RFA - HL- 04- 035) Summer Institute Program will be streamlined and enhanced, using a mix of didactic instruction, survey lectures, and hands-on computer labs. The specific aims deal with: the recruitment of a cohort of 8 mentees during each of the first 3 years and providing them with a 3-week long 1st summer institute, followed by year- long mentoring that includes a 2-day mid-year meeting, followed by a 3-week long 2nd summer institute. In general, junior faculty and scientists in early stages of their careers will be recruited. For each cohort recruited, the 1st summer institute will include hands-on learning of some of the critical concepts and methods, developing career plans and independent research plans by working closely with the mentors and Program Directors. This will be followed by year-long mentoring, with a mid-year meeting to critique the evolving research plans. The mentees will return to the 2nd summer institute which will be devoted largely to critiquing, revising, and finalizing drafts of grant applications, by taking full advantage of the extraordinary resources of the participating institutions and mentors. Mock study sections will be organized to review and critique the evolving grants, providing them with ample feedback for improvement and for eventual submission for funding. Two highlights of the proposed program are: "Group Brainstorming" meetings held on most of the days during the summer institutes where all available mentors and mentees get together to collectively review, analyze, and improve the evolving research plans of the mentees, and the special workshops devoted to unique challenges and barriers faced by diverse faculty. Evaluation and tracking tools are already in place in the context of the SIPID program. Effectiveness of the program will be measured primaily by progress made with independent grants, and with publications progress treated as a secondary measure of success.
