Asynchronous Open Online Course Addressing Structural Racism and Discrimination to Reduce Disparities

项目摘要 该项目的目标是开发一个可访问的、开放的在线异步结构 在一个可扩展的平台上为生物医学领域内不同的受训人群开设种族主义课程 研究空间。我们建立在我们团队数十年的专业经验和参与的基础上 与课程/培训发展、结构性种族主义、 技术/平台开发，并努力增加多样性、招聘和 生物医学研究劳动力中代表性不足的少数群体的持久性。我们 提议开发针对和减轻结构性种族主义的培训模块，并 歧视，试行这些模块，然后在全国范围内作为异步 开设在线课程。与国家研究指导网络(NRMN)的伙伴关系将 支持课程的快速开发、改进和中试测试。我们将开发 结构性种族主义课程并广泛传播，利用我们国家的学习和指导 平台(MyNRMN)，将促进包容性、可访问性和公平的环境， 最终迎合个人在生物医学研究中的招募和坚持不懈 太空。在MyNRMN平台上托管和交付课程带来了可扩展性(至 数以千计的学习者)和可访问性(开放/免费和基于网络的)，通过 为不同学科和职业阶段的个人提供按需培训机会 在生物医学研究队伍中。该课程的动态、非同步特性是 旨在通过NIH资助的培训计划灵活适应高等教育 机构和专业协会。我们将用NRMN试行结构性种族主义课程 学生和教职员工(来自全国各地)评估课程和课程并确定 需要实施的变化，为课程在全国推广做准备。我们的多面性 传播计划将针对不同学科和职业水平的不同个人。具体的 目标是：目标1：制定结构性种族主义课程课程，并将该课程建设为 异步在线公开课。目标2：对网上异地开放进行试点测试和修改 解决结构性种族主义和歧视的课程，涉及所有职业阶段的个人。 目标3：通过循证方式在全国范围内推广异步在线公开课 战略。该项目的预期成果将是一个免费可用、可访问和 在线结构性种族主义课程，解决结构性种族主义和歧视问题。

Project Summary The goal of this project is to develop an accessible and open online asynchronous Structural Racism course on a scalable platform for a diverse population of trainees within the biomedical research space. We build on our team's decades of professional experience and engagement in interdisciplinary scholarship related to curriculum/training development, structural racism, technology/platform development, and working towards increasing diversity, recruitment, and persistence of underrepresented minorities within the biomedical research workforce. We propose developing training modules that address and mitigate structural racism and discrimination, piloting these modules, and then make available nationwide as an asynchronous open online course. Partnership with the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) will enable the course's rapid development, refinement, and pilot testing. We will develop the Structural Racism course and disseminate widely using our national learning and mentoring platform (MyNRMN) that would facilitate inclusive, accessible, and equitable environments that ultimately cater to the recruitment and persistence of individuals within the biomedical research space. Hosting and delivery of the course on the MyNRMN platform brings both the scalability (to thousands of learners) and accessibility (open/free and web-based) for widespread impact by offering an on-demand training opportunity to individuals across disciplines and career stages within the biomedical research workforce. The dynamic, asynchronous nature of the course is intended to be flexible for adaptation by NIH-funded training programs, higher education institutions, and professional societies. We will pilot test the structural racism course with NRMN students and faculty (from across the nation) to evaluate the course and curriculum and determine changes that need to be implemented to prepare the course for national rollout. Our multifaceted dissemination plan will target diverse individuals across disciplines and career levels. The specific aims are: Aim 1: Develop a structural racism course curriculum and build the course as an asynchronous open online course. Aim 2: Pilot test and revise the asynchronous open online course that addresses structural racism and discrimination with individuals from all career stages. Aim 3: Disseminate the asynchronous open online course nationwide through evidence-based strategies. The expected outcomes from this project will be a freely available, accessible, and online Structural Racism course that addresses structural racism and discrimination.
