Mentoring in community-engaged approaches to address CVD disparities

 描述(由申请人提供)：此次K24续签的目标是为Corbie-Smith博士建立一流的研究基础设施，为下一代心血管疾病研究人员提供特殊培训，这些研究人员致力于研究那些承担着不成比例的心血管疾病发病率和死亡率负担的患者的健康和保健问题。Corbie-Smith博士很好地利用了她K24的第一个周期所提供的支持。她的工作效率很高，在新兴的社区参与研究领域，同行评议的出版物发展轨迹令人印象深刻。她成功地资助了她的工作，获得了一笔新的R01赠款，重点是传播一项基于证据的干预措施，以降低非裔美国农村人口的心血管疾病风险。她已经指导了她的第一批学员走向独立，她在K24的支持下指导的新学员在出版物和资金方面都取得了成功。她成功地指导了护理、医学、健康行为学和流行病学等不同领域的学员，绝大多数学员都是有色人种学者。此次续签将使候选人有可能进一步发展她的研究计划，并将她的研究计划作为指导她的平台。她将利用她正在进行的R01，卫生公平研究中心，Sheps卫生服务研究中心和NC翻译和临床科学研究所，作为她的学员的资源。将健康公平研究中心、SHEPS和北卡罗来纳州翻译和临床科学研究所广泛的职业发展资源与K24的指导资源结合在一起，为应聘者提供了一个独特的机会来发展卓越的指导，以改善心血管疾病的结果。拟议的目标是：(1)动员社区成员来定义、绘制地图和规划。最后，她将利用K24来开发一个创新的新研究方向，考察农村AA社区的组织网络与心血管疾病干预措施的可持续性之间的联系；(2)使用混合方法来了解影响组织间合作的因素(沟通、合作和竞争)；(3)开展网络分析，以了解农村社区开展心血管疾病降低风险方案的组织之间的组织网络如何随着时间的推移而变化；以及(4)检查组织网络与a)心血管疾病降低风险干预措施的可持续性和b)这些干预措施参与者之间的心血管疾病成果之间的关联。候选人还将继续一项正式的指导计划，计划招募、挑选、发展和评估将成为心血管疾病差异研究成功领导者的被辅导者。每个被辅导者将有一个有重点的职业发展计划，其中包括定向的教学和发展活动，以及一个将导致第一作者出版的指导研究项目。

 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.
