DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to create an institute for training and mentoring underrepresented minority scientists and those with disabilities by enhancing their research skills. The institute will be administratively and conceptually housed within the Brooklyn Health Disparities Research Center (BHDRC). The goal of the Center is to reduce disparities from cardiovascular disease in minorities and new immigrants in Brooklyn, New York. The Training and Mentoring Institute is envisioned as fitting within the goals of the Center because increasing diversity among the ranks of scientists is an important step towards alleviating health disparities. The goal of the Training and Mentoring Institute at the Downstate BHDRC is to instruct scientists in multidisciplinary approaches to research in cardiovascular health disparities. Specific aims are: To select a cadre of qualified underrepresented scientists who have great potential to contribute to the state of current knowledge in cardiovascular disease research. To train a diverse group of scientists in multidisciplinary research methods to address cardiovascular health disparities. To mentor underrepresented scientists in order for them to transition into independent researchers. To provide underrepresented scientists with intensive individualized training and guidance in grant writing and peer review in order to enhance their capacity for success in their research careers. To evaluate the effectiveness of the Training and Mentoring Institute. The team of multidisciplinary experts that have partnered to provide the didactic training are a group of renowned scientists, many of whom already collaborate to conduct research in health disparities under the auspices of the BHDRC. Mentors include senior faculty, established researchers and experienced mentors in the fields of clinical and basic cardiovascular disease research. Partnerships with community-based organizations will also aid in providing training in the conduct of community-based participatory research, an important and innovative approach to preventive medicine. The work of the Institute will be accomplished n the context of Brooklyn, New York, a model urban setting in which to conduct health disparities and cardiovascular disease research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在创建一个机构，通过提高少数族裔科学家和残疾人的研究技能来培训和指导他们。该研究所在行政和概念上将设在布鲁克林健康差异研究中心 (BHDRC) 内。该中心的目标是减少纽约布鲁克林少数族裔和新移民因心血管疾病而造成的差异。培训和指导研究所被认为符合该中心的目标，因为增加科学家队伍的多样性是缩小健康差距的重要一步。南部 BHDRC 培训和指导研究所的目标是指导科学家采用多学科方法来研究心血管健康差异。具体目标是： 选择一支合格的、代表性不足的科学家骨干队伍，他们有巨大的潜力为世界做出贡献 心血管疾病研究的最新知识状况。 通过多学科研究方法培训多元化的科学家来解决心血管问题 健康差异。 指导代表性不足的科学家，使他们转变为独立研究人员。 为代表性不足的科学家提供深入的个性化培训以及资助撰写和同行评审方面的指导，以提高他们在研究生涯中取得成功的能力。 评估培训和辅导学院的有效性。 合作提供教学培训的多学科专家团队是一群著名的科学家，其中许多人已经在 BHDRC 的支持下合作开展健康差异研究。导师包括临床和基础心血管疾病研究领域的资深教师、知名研究人员和经验丰富的导师。与社区组织的伙伴关系还将有助于提供开展社区参与性研究的培训，这是预防医学的一种重要且创新的方法。该研究所的工作将在纽约布鲁克林的背景下完成，这里是开展健康差异和心血管疾病研究的模范城市环境。
