UAB/TU FIRST Faculty Development Core

UAB/TU First Partnership的学院发展核心已经调整了其拟议的目标和 包括社会生态模型所描述的每一级影响的活动。具体来说，我们 将：1)通过以下方式促进本杰明-卡弗科学家的创新、独立研究的发展 个人和集群发展计划，由a)通过首席导师和 指导团队；b)个人和团体职业生涯指导；c)由一位知名领导人的个人赞助； 和d)职业发展机会，身临其境的社区参与；2)设立办公室 集成研究支持，为本杰明-卡弗科学家和快速通道提供研究导航 行政支持；3)发展研究社区合作实验室，以激励和挑战本杰明- 通过利用已建立的中高级科学家和社区扩大同行集群来创建卡沃尔科学家 利益攸关方促进协作和团队科学；4)修订和实施体制政策， 与招聘、晋升和个人/职业发展相关的做法和计划，以减少 孤立，建立社区，为本杰明-卡弗的科学家创造一个包容的、公平的环境，如 以及当前和未来不同的研究密集型教师；以及5)与评估核心合作进行评估 UAB/TU第一伙伴关系以及第一协调和所需的共同数据元素 评估中心评估第一个队列计划的影响。 UAB和TU都致力于支持我们的科学家，使他们能够取得成功 独立研究人员。我们会资助专责的校长导师，促进他们的职业发展。 在研究导航员的支持下，提供科学指导并领导多学科指导团队 和赞助商；提供个人职业辅导和团体辅导课程，以减少孤立 并提供支持；以及促进参与四个领域的专业发展机会 域名。我们将通过快速跟踪我们科学家的基础设施支持和通过 通过机构支持的综合研究支助办公室提供研究导航器。我们 将通过以下方式将研究人员整合到集群内、跨研究领域以及与社区组织 我们的研究社区合作实验室和网络活动。我们将通过制定 这两个机构的政策反映了该计划引发的积极变化，并通过实施多样性， 公平和包容性方案拟订，以加强和维持多样性和包容性卓越的文化。 我们相信，我们几十年的合作加上我们目前在互动方面的熟练程度 虚拟将使我们能够提供我们的本杰明-卡弗科学家所需的支持和集成 成功。我们可以共同创造系统和可持续的文化变革，以改善我们的 该地区的健康差距很大。

The UAB/TU FIRST Partnership’s Faculty Development Core has aligned its proposed aims and activities to include each of the levels of influence described by the Social Ecological Model. Specifically, we will: 1) facilitate development of innovative, independent research among Benjamin-Carver Scientists through individual and cluster development plans augmented by a) scientific mentoring through Principal Mentors and mentoring teams; b) individual and group career coaching; c) personal sponsorship by an established leader; and d) professional development opportunities, with immersive community engagement; 2) institute an Office of Integrated Research Support to provide research navigation to Benjamin-Carver Scientists and fast-track administrative support; 3) develop a Research Community Collaboratory to inspire and challenge Benjamin- Carver Scientists by augmenting peer clusters with established mid- and senior-level scientists and community stakeholders to facilitate collaboration and team science; 4) revise and implement institutional policies, practices, and programs related to recruitment, promotion, and personal/career development to reduce isolation, build community, and create an inclusive, equitable environment for Benjamin-Carver Scientists, as well as current and future diverse research-intensive faculty; and 5) work with the Evaluation Core to evaluate the UAB/TU FIRST Partnership and for common data elements needed by the FIRST Coordination and Evaluation Center to assess impact of the FIRST Cohort Program. Both UAB and TU are committed to supporting our Scientists so that they can become successful independent researchers. We will promote their career development by funding dedicated Principal Mentors to provide scientific guidance and to lead multidisciplinary mentoring teams, supported by Research Navigators and Sponsor advocates; offering individual career coaching and group coaching sessions to reduce isolation and provide support; and facilitating involvement in professional development opportunities across four domains. We will remove barriers to success by fast tracking the infrastructure support of our Scientists and by providing Research Navigators through an institutionally supported Office of Integrated Research Support. We will integrate investigators within clusters, across areas of research, and with community organizations through our Research Community Collaboratory and networking activities. We will ensure retention by instituting policies at both institutions that reflect positive changes initiated by this program and by implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion programming to enhance and sustain a culture of diversity and inclusive excellence. We are confident that our decades of collaboration combined with our current adeptness to interact virtually will allow us to provide the support and integration our Benjamin-Carver Scientists need to be successful. Together we can create the systemic and sustainable culture change needed to ameliorate our region’s significant health disparities.
