Core 01: Professional Development Core

项目概要：专业发展核心 路易斯安那州的居民患心血管疾病、糖尿病/肥胖症的比例明显较高， 癌症在不同的公民群体之间存在显著差异。不幸的是 没有足够数量的精通临床和转化研究的研究者来解决和减少 这些健康差异。路易斯安那州临床和转化科学（LA CaTS）的总体目标 中心专业发展核心（PD核心）是教育和培训早期职业和高级学术 全州范围内的教师从事临床/转化研究，重点是改善健康结果和减少 路易斯安那州的健康差距。PD核心为早期职业教师提供学位授予培训计划 （学者），临床研究硕士（MSCR），提供导师，并获得各种 教育研究资源，以帮助来自全州不同卫生专业的学者。的PD 核心研究计划基于以下具体目标：（1）进一步发展和完善项目， 支持临床/转化研究培训、指导和职业发展，并建立早期 专门支持生物医学劳动力中代表性不足的群体的职业培训生，（2）创造， 提供，并协调可访问的资源，以帮助教师和学员在开发，启动，执行， 分析和传播临床/转化研究，（3）促进和加强公平，多样性， 在我们的多机构全州研究社区内的包容性（EDI）倡议和培训。pd芯 将通过提供一个学术“家”来实施研究计划，路线图学者计划，75% 为期两年的保护期培训，提供量身定制的临床和转化研究培训 具有广泛研究经验的学者（例如，学生到博士后研究员）和来自不同 专业学科（例如，医学、护理、公共卫生、社会工作）。这种跨机构的结构 已经制定了一种方法，包括在全州范围内合作LA CaTS机构， 方面应受中华PD核心计划提供培训和研究资源，包括 MSCR课程现场和远程学习，进入集中的临床试验招募中心， 全州虚拟生物资源库，以及关注健康差异和疾病的“团队科学”项目 促进研究团队合作的成果。远程学习是提供学者访问的关键 所有PD核心资源;因此，MSCR课程和研究工具包的集中汇编将 通过异步系统提供。总体而言，PD核心打算招募，教育和培训学者， 各种卫生保健学科和代表性不足的群体（包括一个新的学者职位，专门为 来自代表性不足群体的个人），在临床和转化研究中，重点关注高 健康差距率，以改善健康结果，对路易斯安那州的公民产生负面影响。

Project Summary: Professional Development Core Louisiana citizens experience significantly higher rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes/obesity, and cancer with significant disparities between subgroups of citizens. Unfortunately, there are not adequate numbers of investigators proficient in Clinical and Translational Research to address and diminish these health disparities. The overall objective of the Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science (LA CaTS) Center Professional Development Core (PD Core) is to educate and train early-career and senior academic faculty state-wide to pursue clinical/translational research focused on improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities in Louisiana. The PD Core provides a degree-granting training program for early-career faculty (Scholars), a Masters in Clinical Research (MSCR), which provides mentorship, and access to a variety of educational research resources to aid Scholars from different health professions throughout the state. The PD Core research plans are based on the following specific aims: (1) further develop and refine programs that support clinical/translational research training, mentoring, and career development, and build a network of early career trainees that specifically supports under-represented groups in the biomedical workforce, (2) create, provide, and coordinate accessible resources to aid faculty and trainees in developing, initiating, executing, analyzing, and disseminating clinical/translational research and (3) facilitate and enhance Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives and training within our multi-institution statewide research community. The PD Core will implement the research plan by providing an academic “home”, the Roadmap Scholar Program, a 75% protected-time training period over two years that provides clinical and translational research training tailored to Scholars with a wider range of research experience (e.g., students to postdoctoral fellows) and from different professional disciplines (e.g., medicine, nursing, public health, social work). This cross-institutional structured approach has been developed to include collaborating LA CaTS institutions throughout the state of Louisiana. The PD Core plans to provide training and research resources, including courses in the MSCR curriculum on-site and by Distance Learning, access to a centralized clinical trial enrollment center, the state-wide virtual biorepository resource, and “team science” projects focused on health disparities and disease outcomes which promote research team collaborations. Distance Learning is key in providing Scholars access to all PD Core resources; therefore, a centralized compendium of MSCR courses and research tool kits will be provided via an asynchronous system. Overall, the PD Core intends to recruit, educate, and train Scholars from various health care disciplines and underrepresented groups (including a new scholar position specifically for individuals from underrepresented groups), in clinical and translational research focused on diseases with high rates of health disparities to improve health outcomes that negatively affect the citizens of Louisiana.
