项目摘要

The UAB/TU FIRST Partnership seeks to transform culture at our two partner institutions by building a self-reinforcing community of scientists committed to diversity and inclusive excellence. To do so, we will hire clusters of new faculty in areas of mutual and/or complementary strengths, engage them as a cohort focused on health disparities. Following our conceptual model, we will surround them with interpersonal, organizational, and community support to help them establish successful research programs to secure R01-level funding. In addition, we will leverage this program to enact policy, culture and environmental changes aimed at reinforcing a culture of diversity and inclusive excellence in biomedical research at both UAB and TU. The Administrative Core of the UAB/TU FIRST Partnership will provide: 1) infrastructure, staff, and processes for program management, including overall management, fiscal management, and coordination among cores and the partner institutions; 2) development and maintenance of a support infrastructure, including internal and external communications infrastructure; 3) management of recruitment and hiring for diversity and inclusive excellence, and 4) reporting and collaboration with the NIH, including representation on the National FIRST Executive Steering Committee. This Core will function under the direction of four MPIs (Drs. Selwyn Vickers, contact PI; Mona Fouad, Clayton Yates, and Raegan Durant), with significant institutional support and commitment from both UAB and Tuskegee. UAB has committed $17.4 million per year in recruitment, hiring, and salary/startup support and another $2 million in related support that will contribute to the goals of the Partnership and TU has committed $200,000 in support each year. This commitment will allow the UAB/TU FIRST Partnership to transform culture at our institutions by building a self-reinforcing community of scientists committed to diversity and inclusive excellence, and to achieve significant systemic and sustainable institutional culture change by achieving the following specific aims: 1) provide central management of all UAB/TU FIRST Partnership activities and committees to manage personnel, allocate financial resources to ensure effective administration and equitable distribution of resources, and ensure integration of cores and collaboration between the partner institutions; 2) establish and maintain UAB/TU FIRST Partnership support infrastructure, including communications channels and a website and collaborative platform to facilitate interaction between leadership, committees, Benjamin-Carver Scientists, and collaborators; 3) develop and implement a cluster hiring plan that integrates strategic needs identified by UAB and TU, including recruitment, interviewing, hiring, and retention protocols; and 4) improve the institutional climate of diversity and inclusive excellence at each institution through targeted interventions guided by the Social Ecological Model (SEM) levels, including the integration of UAB/TU FIRST Partnership lessons learned into institutional processes for strategic planning, hiring, retention, and promotion.

UAB/TU FIRST 合作伙伴关系旨在通过建立一个致力于多样性和包容性卓越的自我强化的科学家社区。为此，我们将聘请具有相互和/或互补优势的领域的新教师集群，将他们作为一个重点关注的群体关于健康差异。按照我们的概念模型，我们将用人际、组织、以及社区支持，帮助他们建立成功的研究计划，以获得 R01 级资金。在此外，我们将利用该计划来制定政策、文化和环境变革，旨在加强 UAB 和 TU 的生物医学研究具有多样性和包容性的卓越文化。 UAB/TU FIRST 合作伙伴关系的行政核心将提供：1) 基础设施、人员和项目管理流程，包括总体管理、财务管理和协调核心机构和伙伴机构之间； 2）支持基础设施的开发和维护，包括内部和外部通信基础设施； 3）招聘和聘用管理多样性和包容性卓越，以及 4) 与 NIH 的报告和合作，包括代表全国第一执行指导委员会。该核心将在四个 MPI 的指导下运行（Selwyn Vickers 博士，联系人 PI；Mona Fouad、Clayton Yates 和 Raegan Durant），来自 UAB 和塔斯基吉的机构支持和承诺。 UAB 每年承诺投入 1,740 万美元招聘、雇用和薪资/启动支持以及另外 200 万美元的相关支持将有助于为了实现合作伙伴关系的目标，TU 每年承诺提供 200,000 美元的支持。这一承诺将使 UAB/TU FIRST 合作伙伴关系能够通过以下方式改变我们机构的文化：建立一个致力于多样性和包容性卓越的自我强化科学家社区，并通过实现以下具体目标，实现重大的系统性和可持续的制度文化变革目标：1) 对所有 UAB/TU FIRST 合作伙伴活动和委员会进行集中管理人员、财政资源的分配，以确保有效管理和公平分配资源，并确保伙伴机构之间的核心整合和协作； 2）建立和维护 UAB/TU FIRST 合作伙伴支持基础设施，包括通信渠道和网站和协作平台，以促进领导层、委员会、本杰明-卡弗科学家、和合作者； 3）制定并实施集群招聘计划，整合由以下人员确定的战略需求 UAB 和 TU，包括招聘、面试、雇用和保留协议； 4) 改进通过有针对性的干预措施，每个机构都具有多样性和包容性卓越的制度氛围以社会生态模型 (SEM) 级别为指导，包括 UAB/TU FIRST 合作伙伴关系的整合将经验教训纳入战略规划、招聘、保留和晋升的制度流程中。
