项目摘要/摘要 美国国立卫生研究院多样性计划联盟(DPC)协调和评估中心的总体目标 加州大学洛杉矶分校的(CEC)将为DPC的受赠者提供协调和运营支持，进行数据 协调/收集和方案评估，并传播最佳做法。在第二个五年计划中 在资助期间，DPC将由导致多样性的建筑基础设施(BUD)奖组成 和新提出的DPC传播和翻译奖(数据)，以及一套扩大的 国家研究指导网络(NRMN)方案，包括一个NRMN协调中心、一个NRMN 资源中心和最多15个NRMN U01干预奖项。 CEC由四个核心组成，即管理核心(AC)、数据协调核心(DCC)、 评价核心(EC)和一个新的传播和传播核心(CDC)，以承认 DPC的扩大和内部DPC通信和DPC的关键重要性 传播最佳做法。根据该项目的第二阶段(RFA-RM-18-005)，CEC将： 1)提供一个集中的管理结构以支持和加强CEC内部的沟通， 在CEC和DPC之间进行协调，并对CEC流程和整体绩效进行评价 (管理核心；AC)；2)还提供最先进的数据收集和数据管理专业知识 作为为DPC合作伙伴提供的关键服务和培训/能力建设，以便将DPC数据最佳收集到 有效支持DPC的总体研究目标，推进机构可持续性(数据 协调核心(DCC)；3)使用以下方法对DPC的影响进行多层次全面评估 传统(如定性、定量)和创新(如社交网络分析)研究方法 对DPC的重视定义了学生、教师和机构层面的成功标志(评估 核心；欧共体)；以及4)建立高影响力的传播渠道，将发改委最佳做法传播给同行机构， NIH和其他关键利益攸关方将对国家生物医学产生变革性和持久的影响 研究培训流水线，并最终增加国家生物医学研究队伍的多样性 (通信和传播核心；DCC)。作为U奖，我们与NIH密切合作，在 设计和执行我们的所有活动，除了响应DPC获奖者和促进 帮助指导我们活动的财团领导层和活动特定小组。 总之，CEC将促进整个DPC的协作环境，提供高质量的 评估建设和自然资源管理网络的活动/干预措施，并开发可持续的长期研究工具 在国内和国际上传播DPC的调查结果、评价方法和最佳做法 即使在本供资期间结束后仍可使用。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall purpose of the NIH Diversity Program Consortium (DPC) Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC) at UCLA is to provide the DPC's grantees with coordination and operational support, conduct data coordination/collection and program evaluation, and disseminate best practices. In this second five-year funding period, the DPC will be comprised of the Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) awards and newly proposed DPC Dissemination and Translation Awards (DaTA), as well as an expanded set of National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) programs including a NRMN Coordinating Center, a NRMN Resource Center and up to15 NRMN U01 intervention awards. The CEC is comprised of four cores, the Administrative Core (AC), the Data Coordination Core (DCC), the Evaluation Core (EC) and a new Communication and Dissemination Core (CDC) in recognition of the expanded growth of the DPC and the critical importance of both internal DPC communications and disseminating best practices. Consistent with this second phase of the project (RFA-RM-18-005), the CEC will: 1) Provide a centralized administrative structure to support and enhance communication within the CEC, between the CEC and the DPC, and to conduct an evaluation of CEC processes and overall performance (Administrative Core; AC); 2) Provide state-of-the-art data collection and data management expertise, as well as key services and training/capacity building for DPC partners for the optimal collection of DPC data to most effectively support the overall research aims of the DPC and advance institutional sustainability (Data Coordination Core; DCC); 3) Conduct multilevel, comprehensive assessments of the impact of the DPC using traditional (e.g. qualitative, quantitative) and innovative (e.g. social network analysis) research methods with an emphasis on DPC defined Hallmarks of Success at the student, faculty, and institutional levels (Evaluation Core; EC); and 4) Develop high-impact dissemination channels for DPC best practices to peer institutions, NIH, and other key stakeholders to create a transformative and lasting impact on the national biomedical research training pipeline and ultimately increase diversity in the national biomedical research workforce (Communications and Dissemination Core; DCC). As a U-award, we work in close collaboration with NIH in the design and execution of all of our activities, in addition to being responsive to DPC awardees and facilitating consortium leadership and activity-specific groups that help guide our activities. In summary, the CEC will promote a collaborative environment across the DPC, provide high-quality evaluation of BUILD and NRMN activities/interventions, and develop sustainable research tools for longer-term dissemination of DPC findings, evaluation methods, and best practices nationally and internationally that will remain available even after the current funding period ends.
