Mentoring in community-engaged approaches to address CVD disparities

 描述（由申请人提供）：此次K24更新的目标是为Corbie-Smith博士建立一个首要的研究基础设施，为下一代CVD研究人员提供特殊的培训，这些研究人员负责解决CVD发病率和死亡率不成比例的患者的健康和医疗保健问题。Corbie-Smith博士充分利用了她在K24的第一个周期中提供的支持。她一直非常富有成效，在社区参与研究的新兴领域的同行评审出版物的令人印象深刻的轨迹。她成功地资助了她的工作，获得了新的R 01赠款，重点是传播基于证据的干预措施，以减少农村非洲裔美国人的心血管疾病风险。她已经指导她的第一个学员独立，她与她的K24支持指导的新学员在出版物和资金方面取得了成功。她成功地指导了不同领域的学员，如护理，医学，健康行为和流行病学，绝大多数学员都是有色人种学者。这一更新将使候选人有可能进一步发展她的研究计划，并利用她的研究计划作为她的指导平台。她将利用她正在进行的R 01，健康公平研究中心，谢普斯中心健康服务研究和NC转化和临床科学研究所，作为她的学员的资源。将健康公平研究中心，Sheps和NC转化和临床科学研究所的广泛职业发展资源与K24的指导资源结合在一起，为候选人提供了一个独特的机会来发展卓越的指导，以改善CVD结果。拟议的目标是：（1）让社区成员参与定义，绘制和计划。最后，她将使用K24来开发一个创新的新研究方向，检查农村AA社区的组织网络与CVD干预措施的可持续性之间的关联，评估农村环境中可用的CVD风险降低资产;（2）使用混合方法来了解影响因素（沟通，合作和竞争），影响CVD风险降低规划组织之间的合作;（3）进行网络分析，以了解在农村社区进行心血管疾病风险降低规划的组织中，组织网络如何随着时间的推移而变化;（4）检查组织网络与a）心血管疾病风险降低干预措施的可持续性和B）这些干预措施参与者的心血管疾病结果之间的关系。候选人还将继续一个正式的指导计划，计划招募，选拔，发展和评估将成为CVD差异研究成功领导者的学员。每个学员将有一个重点职业发展计划，其中包括指导教学和发展活动，以及指导研究项目，将导致第一作者出版物。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this K24 renewal is for Dr. Corbie-Smith to establish a premier research infrastructure to provide exceptional training for the next generation of CVD researchers who address the health and healthcare of patients who bear a disproportionate burden of CVD morbidity and mortality. Dr. Corbie-Smith has made excellent use of the support provided in the first cycle of her K24. She has been highly productive, with an impressive trajectory of peer-reviewed publications in the emerging field of community engaged research. She has been successful in funding her work, obtaining a new R01 grant focused on dissemination of an evidence based intervention to reduce CVD risk in rural African American populations. She has mentored her first trainees to independence, and new trainees she has mentored with her K24 support have been successful in terms of publications and funding. She has successfully mentored trainees in diverse fields such as nursing, medicine, health behavior, and epidemiology and the vast majority of trainees are scholars of color. This renewal will make it possible for the candidate to further develop her research program, and use her research program as a platform for her mentoring. She will leverage her ongoing R01, the Center for Health Equity Research, the Sheps Center for Health Services Research and NC Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute, as a resource for her mentees. Bringing together the extensive career development resources of the Center for Health Equity Research, Sheps and NC Translational and Clinical Science Institute with the mentoring resources of the K24 gives the candidate a unique opportunity to develop exceptional mentoring to improve CVD outcomes. The proposed aims are to: (1) engage community members to define, map and programs. Finally, she will use the K24 to develop an innovative new research direction, examining the association between organizational networks in rural AA communities and sustainability of CVD interventions assess CVD risk reduction assets available in rural settings; (2) use mixed methods to understand the factors (communication, cooperation, and competition) that influence collaboration among organizations with CVD risk reduction programming; (3) conduct network analysis to understand how organizational networks change over time in rural communities among organizations conducting CVD risk reduction programming; and (4) examine the association between organizational networks and a) sustainability of CVD risk reduction interventions and b) CVD outcomes among participants in those interventions. The candidate will also continue a formal mentoring program with plans for the recruitment, selection, development, and evaluation of mentees who will become successful leaders in CVD disparities research. Each mentee will have a focused career development plan that includes directed didactic and developmental activities and a mentored research project that will lead to first author publications.
