Promoting Under-Representative Minorities in Pulmonary and Sleep Research (PURPOSE)

项目总结 这一新的T32应用程序提出了一个研究培训计划，用于在 迈阿密大学(UM)米勒医学院肺部和睡眠障碍医学领域。 目的(在肺和睡眠研究中促进代表性不足的少数民族)培训方案 将设在密歇根大学的肺、重症监护和睡眠医学部，并将利用教职员工 从整个机构的不同部门。主要目标是提供一个严谨和肥沃的环境 对未被充分代表的博士后研究员进行培训，并将他们培养成学术医生- 科学家。T32计划将在基础、翻译和医疗服务方面提供卓越的培训平台 培养独立、成功、高影响力的肺和睡眠内科研究人员的研究 医学。受训者将获得三个科学领域的重点：轨道A将重点放在病因、风险、 以及与阻塞性呼吸道疾病(即哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺病)有关的转归。 B轨道将提供关于肺癌/戒烟的生物学、影响和卫生保健差异的培训； 而Track C将专注于改善与阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停/睡眠障碍相关的结局 服务不足。受训者将选择一个主要的重点轨道。这笔T32赠款的目标将通过 利用包括UM-Health System、UM-Health System在内的所有UM附属机构进行指导、说教和体验曝光 西尔维斯特综合癌症中心、杰克逊健康系统和布鲁斯·W·卡特 退伍军人事务医疗中心为解决肺部关键优先事项提供了无与伦比的机会 还有睡眠医学。该计划将得到21名导师的支持，他们的年度拨款总额为11.7美元 资金问题。导师包括多个部门的10名医学博士、9名博士和2名医学博士/博士。总而言之，导师 在阻塞性肺疾病流行病学和预后、呼吸道生物学、项目方面拥有杰出的专业知识 用于肺癌的早期筛查和基本机制，以及睡眠障碍的药物。培训(例如，教学， 研讨会、在线模块)与要获得的能力(例如流行病学、临床 研究方法、生物统计学、研究的伦理行为和赠款的撰写)，并将利用 机构获得特定分组的机会(如种族/族裔、性/性别认同)和适用的专门知识 方法(例如，基础科学、临床/转化研究、传播/实施科学、卫生和 差异研究)。这一T32培训计划每年将支持两名博士后研究员。申请者将是 预期有一名同时注册肺、重症护理和睡眠医学的医学博士- 博士奖学金。将为受训人员制定个人发展计划，以促进 导师。内部和外部咨询委员会、多样性和包容性以及仲裁委员会将 提供持续的评估和反馈，以确保T32项目目标的有效实现。

PROJECT SUMMARY This new T32 application proposes a research training program for under-represented physician scientists in the areas of pulmonary and sleep disorders medicine at the University of Miami (UM), Miller School of Medicine. The PURPoSe (Promoting Under-Represented Minorities in Pulmonary and Sleep Research) training program will be based in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at UM and will leverage the faculty from various departments across the institution. The primary goal is to provide a rigorous and fertile environment of training for underrepresented post-doctoral fellows and foster their development into academic physician- scientists. The T32 program will offer an exceptional training platform in basic, translational, and health services research to develop independent, successful, high-impact physician researchers in Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. Three areas of scientific focus will be available to the trainees: Track A will focus on the etiology, risk, and outcomes related to obstructive airways disease (i.e., asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Track B will offer training in the biology, impact, and health-care disparities in lung cancer/smoking cessation; and Track C will focus on improving outcomes related to obstructive sleep apnea/sleep disorders in the underserved. Trainees will select a primary track of emphasis. The goals of this T32 grant will be achieved via mentored, didactic, and experiential exposures leveraging all UM affiliates including the UM-Health System, the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Jackson Health System, and the Bruce W. Carter Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center to provide an unparalleled opportunity to address key priorities in Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. The program will be supported by 21 mentors who have grants totaling $11.7 in annual funding. Mentors include 10 MDs, 9 PhDs and 2 MD/PhDs across several departments. Collectively, mentors have outstanding expertise in obstructive lung disease epidemiology and outcomes, airway biology, programs for early screening and basic mechanisms of lung cancer, and sleep disorders medicine. Training (e.g., didactics, seminars, online modules) has been aligned with the competencies to be gained (e.g., epidemiology, clinical research methods, biostatistics, ethical conduct of research, and grant writing) and will capitalizes on the institutional access to specific subgroups (e.g., race/ethnicity, sexual/gender identity) and expertise in applied methods (e.g., basic science, clinical/translational research, dissemination/implementation science, health and disparities research). This T32 training program will support two postdoctoral fellows per year. Applicants will be expected to have a MDs who are concurrently enrolled in the Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine post- doctoral fellowship. Individual development plans (IDPs) will be created for trainees to facilitate oversight by mentors. Internal and External Advisory Boards, and Diversity and Inclusion, and Arbitration committees will provide ongoing evaluation and feedback to ensure that the goals of T32 program are effectivelymet.
