项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The Drexel University FIRST program will build a collaborative structure involving multi-level inputs from University leaders, academic units and faculty to catalyze sustainable institutional change that supports scientific and inclusive excellence in the conduct of health disparities research. The Administrative Core (AC) will (1) recruit and ensure the success of a diverse set of junior faculty and (2) support the transformation of the environment at Drexel University to facilitate the recruitment and success of other diverse NIH funded researchers and create a sustained culture of inclusive excellence across the University. We will leverage and expand on Drexel University strengths including (1) Drexel’s historical commitment to inclusion and civic engagement; (2) the updated University strategic plan which prioritizes enhancing faculty diversity and sustaining a culture of inclusive excellence; (3) the recent exponential growth of externally funded interdisciplinary population health, intervention science and health disparities research at Drexel; and (4) University supported interdisciplinary population health initiatives with a health disparity focus. We have selected health disparities as our area of emphasis because of its importance to the health of the nation, the critical role of diverse faculty, and the strong track record, support and infrastructure for health disparities research at Drexel. The program will test the primary hypothesis that a cohort model of faculty hiring, sponsorship, continual mentoring, and support for professional development, embedded within an institution implementing evidence-based practices, will create an academic culture of inclusive excellence demonstrated by significant improvements in metrics of institutional culture and scientific workforce diversity. We also hypothesize that the cohort model will lead to impactful science in health disparities. The Administrative Core will provide administrative and budgetary oversight, organizational structure, external input, University partnerships, communications, and accountability mechanisms necessary to test these hypotheses. The Specific Aims of the AC are: (1) To provide general administrative and budgetary oversight of the FIRST Cohort program, including the creation and implementation of a governance structure that engages faculty across the university, is responsive to program needs in a timely manner. (2) To oversee faculty development and evaluation activities, including coordination with other FIRST cohorts and with the

项目概要德雷塞尔大学 FIRST 项目将建立一个协作结构，涉及来自以下机构的多层次投入：大学领导、学术单位和教师促进可持续的制度变革，支持行政核心（AC）在进行健康差异研究方面具有科学性和包容性。将（1）招募并确保多元化的初级教师的成功，以及（2）支持大学的转型德雷塞尔大学的环境，以促进其他多元化的 NIH 资助的招募和成功我们将利用并在整个大学创造持续的包容性卓越文化。扩大德雷塞尔大学的优势，包括（1）德雷塞尔对包容性和公民意识的历史承诺 (2) 更新后的大学战略计划，优先考虑加强师资多样性和（三）近期外部资金呈指数级增长德雷塞尔大学的跨学科人口健康、干预科学和健康差异研究；以及 (4) 大学支持以健康差异为重点的跨学科人口健康举措。选择健康差异作为我们的重点领域，因为它对国民健康至关重要多元化教师的关键作用，以及针对健康差异的良好记录、支持和基础设施德雷克塞尔大学的研究将测试主要假设，即教师招聘的队列模型，机构内部对专业发展的赞助、持续指导和支持实施基于证据的实践，将创造一种包容性卓越的学术文化我们还通过显着改善机构文化和科学劳动力多样性指标。行政核心将提供行政和预算监督、组织结构、外部投入、大学检验这些假设所必需的伙伴关系、沟通和问责机制。审计委员会的具体目标是： (1) 为 FIRST 提供一般行政和预算监督队列计划，包括创建和实施吸引教师参与的治理结构（二）监督师资队伍建设和评估活动，包括与其他 FIRST 群体以及与
