NIH Diversity Program Consortium Coordination and Evaluation Center at UCLA

 描述（由申请人提供）：美国国立卫生研究院多样性计划联盟协调和评估中心（CEC）在加州大学洛杉矶分校的总体目的是提供操作和数据协调和支持，并进行纵向评估，以支持建设基础设施导致多样性（BUILD）和国家研究指导网络（NRMN）计划（统称为美国国立卫生研究院多样性计划联盟）。这些新的签名NIH倡议旨在促进NIH资助的生物医学，行为，临床和社会科学（统称为“生物医学”）研究队伍的多样性。GEC将促进BUILD站点和NRMN网络以及NIH之间的协作环境，并将与NIH多样性计划联盟执行指导委员会（ESC）密切合作，以确保成功实现所有联盟目标。 拥有2,000多名全职和1,000名附属教职员工，医学的大卫格芬学院，辅之以世界一流的健康，社会和生命科学计划在公共卫生，公共事务，护理，牙科，研究生教育和信息研究，工程和应用科学，信件和科学等学校，该大学有能力为CEC提供一个支持性的家，并为成功协调和评估联盟生物医学管道和学术职业发展活动提供一个强大的环境。CEC将建立在加州大学洛杉矶分校国家认可的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）培训和评估计划的基础上，这些计划将生物医学研究培训与管道产生的多样性相结合，例如加州大学洛杉矶分校的国家高等教育研究所（包括对不同学习环境中的学生和教师的调查），加州大学洛杉矶分校科学本科研究中心，NIA资助的少数民族老龄化研究计划资源中心和加州大学洛杉矶分校国家协调中心，加州大学洛杉矶分校临床和转化科学研究所（CTSI）。CEC带来了超过25年的成功NIH资助的项目管理和国家研究和研究管道网络的评估，这些网络在研究密集型和少数民族服务机构（MSIs）的不同受训人群中延伸。CEC的总体目标是建立成功实现BUILD和NRMN目标所需的基础设施，促进BUILD、NRMN和NIH之间的协作环境，并提供对BUILD和NRMN活动的高质量评估。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall purpose of the NIH Diversity Program Consortium Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC) at UCLA is to provide operations and data coordination and support, and to conduct a longitudinal evaluation, in support of the Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) and the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) programs (known collectively as the NIH Diversity Program Consortium). These new signature NIH initiatives are designed to promote diversity in the NIH-funded biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences (collectively termed "biomedical") research workforce. The GEC will promote a collaborative environment across BUILD sites and NRMN network, and NIH, and will work closely with the NIH Diversity Program Consortium Executive Steering Committee (ESC) to ensure the successful achievement of all Consortium objectives. With more than 2,000 full-time and 1,000 affiliated faculty members, the David Geffen School of Medicine, complemented by world-class health, social, and life science programs in the Schools of Public Health, Public Affairs, Nursing, Dentistry, Graduate Education and Information Studies, Engineering and Applied Science, Letters and Science and others, is well-positioned to provide a supportive home for the CEC and a robust environment for the successful coordination and evaluation of Consortium biomedical pipeline and academic career development activities. The CEC will build on nationally recognized Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) training and evaluation programs at UCLA that integrate biomedical research training with pipeline-generated diversity such as the national Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA (including surveys of students and faculty across diverse learning environments), UCLA Undergraduate Research Center in Sciences, NIA-funded Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research Program and National Coordinating Center at UCLA, UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). The CEC brings over 25 years of successful NIH-funded project administration and evaluation for national research and research pipeline networks extending across diverse trainee populations in both research-intensive and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). The overall goals of the CEC are to establish the infrastructure required for the successful achievement of the BUILD and NRMN goals, promote a collaborative environment across the BUILD, NRMN arid the NIH, and provide high-quality evaluation of BUILD and NRMN activities.
