Project Summary/Abstract: Despite advances in the identification of risk factors and use of evidence-based strategies to manage cardiovascular (CV) diseases, recent declines in mortality have stalled and race/ethnic disparities endure. Overall, the number of racial and ethnic minorities who are engaged in CV research careers is low. Translation research is a rapidly evolving field which transforms scientific discoveries arising from laboratory, clinical, or population studies into clinical applications, while implementation research promotes the integration of research findings and evidence-based interventions into healthcare policy, public health and clinical settings. A well-trained and diverse workforce of translation and implementation scientists who can test innovative ideas and advance the adoption and practice of proven therapies are sorely needed in Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta region, where CV health indicators are often poorest in the nation and health disparities by race, socioeconomic status and geography are well documented. The overall objective of this application for a new predoctoral T32 training program at Tulane University is to increase the number of translation and implementation researchers from underrepresented backgrounds to build a diverse workforce that can tackle CV health disparities in the region. The Tulane University training program for Diversity in tRanslation and Implementation research in cardioVascular disEase (DRIVE) will draw on the expertise of outstanding investigators to provide trainees from underrepresented backgrounds with the didactics, experience, skills, mentoring and resources they need to become successful researchers in CV translation and implementation sciences. The program will provide in-depth, structured training support for eight predoctoral candidates from diverse and underserved backgrounds, leveraging outstanding investigators and on-going translational research in CV clinical trials (T3) and community-based implementation studies (T4). The DRIVE training program will be rooted in multidisciplinary team science with integration of junior and senior mentors to guide the trainee via their Individualized Development Plan in acquiring critical skills and applying these skills in hands-on research experiences to address CV health disparities across Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta region. The program director will be assisted by an executive operating committee and a committee of external advisors from underrepresented backgrounds with exceptional research careers and experience in mentoring. Mentors will use defined and proven methods to enhance the development and success of the trainees, while all trainees will participate in a series of workshops that teach grant writing, manuscript writing and professional development skills, including best practice strategies to optimize presentations, communications and networking. The proposed training program seeks to contribute to diversifying the translation and implementation workforce, reducing the burden of CV diseases and metabolic risk factors, eliminating health disparities, and improving health equity in Louisiana and the nation.

项目摘要/摘要：尽管在风险因素的识别和基于证据的使用方面取得了进展 控制心血管 (CV) 疾病的策略、近期死亡率下降趋势已停止，种族/民族 差异持续存在。总体而言，从事简历研究职业的种族和族裔数量 是低的。翻译研究是一个快速发展的领域，它改变了源自科学的发现 实验室、临床或人群研究转化为临床应用，而实施研究则促进 将研究结果和循证干预措施纳入医疗保健政策、公共卫生和 临床环境。一支训练有素、多元化的翻译和实施科学家队伍，可以测试 路易斯安那州迫切需要创新理念并推动行之有效的疗法的采用和实践 以及密西西比三角洲地区，该地区的心血管健康指标往往是全国最差的 种族、社会经济地位和地理方面的差异都有据可查。本次活动的总体目标 申请杜兰大学新的博士前T32培训项目是为了增加 来自代表性不足背景的翻译和实施研究人员，以建立一支多元化的员工队伍 可以解决该地区的心血管健康差异。杜兰大学多元化培训计划 心血管疾病（DRIVE）的翻译和实施研究将利用以下专业知识 杰出的调查员为来自代表性不足背景的学员提供教学法， 他们成为简历翻译领域成功的研究人员所需的经验、技能、指导和资源 实施科学。该计划将为八名博士前学生提供深入、结构化的培训支持 来自多元化和服务不足背景的候选人，利用优秀的调查员和持续的 CV临床试验（T3）和基于社区的实施研究（T4）的转化研究。驱动器 培训计划将植根于多学科团队科学，并整合初级和高级导师 通过个性化发展计划指导学员获得关键技能并应用这些技能 凭借实践研究经验来解决路易斯安那州和密西西比三角洲的心血管健康差异 地区。项目总监将得到执行运营委员会和外部委员会的协助 来自代表性不足的背景的顾问，具有出色的研究生涯和指导经验。 导师将使用明确且经过验证的方法来促进学员的发展和成功，同时 所有学员都将参加一系列讲习班，教授资助金写作、手稿写作和专业知识 发展技能，包括优化演示、沟通和发展的最佳实践策略 联网。拟议的培训计划旨在促进翻译和翻译的多样化 实施劳动力，减轻心血管疾病和代谢危险因素的负担，消除健康 差异，并改善路易斯安那州和全国的健康公平。
