PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The proposed, “Strengthening Child Health Research Capacity in Resource Constrained Settings” (Researcher Resilience Training, RRT) will develop, deliver and test state-of-the-art methods training and “hands-on” research experience to advanced doctoral students and early career investigators, specifically those of African descent, committed to addressing the serious threats to child behavioral health (CBH), as well as prevention and care disparities in poverty-impacted contexts. This RRT will prepare Fellows to focus their research on serious overlapping outcomes, including: 1) disruptive behavioral difficulties; 2) engagement in early sexual/drug risk behaviors and; 3) early acts of delinquency, including violent behavior for youth living in scarce-resource communities. The RRT aims to develop and support a pipeline of new CBH investigators prepared to advance scientific knowledge about system and community-level interventions that can address the disproportionate health burdens experienced by poverty-impacted youth of African descent via enhancing protective family, neighborhood, system supports; reducing disparities; and advancing racial and health equity. This training leverages existing transdisciplinary partnerships within Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), and with safety net child service delivery partners committed to serving families of African descent in poverty-impacted communities and advancing health equity in the racially segregated metro area of St. Louis. The RRT is guided by 4 Specific Aims: 1) to recruit 5 cohorts of advanced doctoral students and early career investigators of African descent committed to conducting CBH prevention, intervention, services, implementation and scale-up research within resource constrained settings (9 Fellows; n=45 across 5 years); 2) to develop and deliver a summer research training program aimed at equipping Fellows with research skills capable of addressing the significant challenges within resource-poor settings through didactic instruction, mentoring, “hands-on” immersion in child-focused studies, individualized consultation, goal setting, monitoring and ongoing support across time; 3) to advance academic/community/safety net system research partnerships on CBH and child well-being and; 4) to examine the short-term and longitudinal impact of RRT. The yearly RRT will occur across 6-8 weeks (summer). Fellows will participate in a two-week, face-to-face training program at WUSTL. Teaching faculty will be drawn from partnering WUSTL Schools and Departments and child serving organizations. Next, Fellows will spend 4 to 6 weeks embedded across existing CBH-focused research projects, exclusively led by investigators of color. Scientists with advanced methods expertise will provide intensive consultation to Fellows. A rigorous mixed-methods evaluation will track individual Fellow progress and the impact of the RRT on overall CBH research partnerships. The RRT aligns with NICHD's mission to ensure the healthy functioning of all youth and families by creating new science-based approaches to directly address disparities driven by inequities at individual, social, community and service systems levels.

项目摘要/摘要 拟议中的“增强资源受限设置中的儿童健康研究能力” （研究人员的弹性培训，RRT）将开发，交付和测试最先进的方法培训和 对高级博士学生和早期职业调查人员的“动手”研究经验，特别是 非洲血统的人也致力于解决对儿童行为健康（CBH）的严重威胁 作为预防和护理分布在贫困影响的情况下。这个RRT将准备好研究员以集中精力 研究严重重叠的结果，包括：1）破坏性行为困难； 2）参与 早期性/毒品风险行为； 3）犯罪的早期行为，包括居住在的青年的暴力行为 稀缺的资源社区。 RRT旨在开发和支持新的CBH调查人员的管道 准备促进有关系统和社区级干预措施的科学知识 受到贫困侵入的非洲血统经历的不成比例的健康伯恩斯通过增强 保护家庭，邻里，系统支持；减少分布；以及推进种族和健康平等。 该培训利用圣路易斯华盛顿大学的现有跨学科合作伙伴关系 （wustl），以及安全网儿童服务分娩合作伙伴，致力于为非洲血统的家庭服务 贫穷的社区和在大致隔离的St.的卫生公平的社区中路易。 RRT由4个具体目标指导：1）招募5名高级博士生和早期职业生涯 非洲血统的调查人员致力于进行CBH预防，干预，服务， 资源受限设置中的实施和扩大研究（9名研究员；在5年中n = 45）； 2）制定和提供旨在为研究员配备研究技能的夏季研究培训计划 能够通过教学指令解决资源贫乏设置中的重大挑战， 指导，“动手”沉浸于以儿童为中心的研究，个性化咨询，目标设定，监视 以及跨时间的持续支持； 3）促进学术/社区/安全网系统研究伙伴关系 关于CBH和儿童幸福感； 4）检查RRT的短期和纵向影响。年度 RRT将在6-8周（夏季）发生。研究员将参加为期两周的面对面培训 Wustl的程序。教师将由伴侣的学校和部门汲取教职 儿童服务组织。接下来，研究员将花费4到6周的嵌入在现有的CBH专注于 研究项目仅由颜色研究者领导。具有高级方法专业知识的科学家将 向研究员提供密集咨询。严格的混合方法评估将跟踪个人研究员 进展和RRT对CBH总体研究合作伙伴关系的影响。 RRT与NICHD的一致 通过创建新的基于科学的方法来确保所有青年和家庭的健康功能 直接解决由个人，社会，社区和服务系统级别的不平等驱动的分布。
