DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek to reduce disparities in cardiovascular health by recruiting a molecular cardiologist to the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) in order to enhance capacity to conduct research in partnership with Asian, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander communities. Phase I (Years 1 & 2) will involve the establishment of an External Advisory Committee (EAC) and an Internal Advisory and Selection Committee (IASC) to oversee recruitment of an experienced research scientist to JABSOM. To achieve the specific aim of recruiting a highly qualified candidate, Phase I activities will include interaction with the IASC, EAC, and focus groups that will guide an active search for a renowned cardiovascular scientist. Phase II (Years 3-7) will establish a community-based research and education program with the recruited scientist as principal investigator. During Phase II, two specific aims will be accomplished, namely, to conduct state-of-the-art research related to disparities in cardiovascular health, and to develop an educational program that will increase the cadre of investigators dedicated to such research. To achieve these aims, we propose collaboration with the community (including Community Health Centers and Research Clinics, public and private sector research programs, and the Department of Health), mentoring of minority investigators, planning and implementation of pilot projects conceived by junior faculty, and development of educational activities designed to augment graduate research training at the University of Hawai'i (UH). Educational activities will include implementation of a Cardiology Fellowship Program and formulation of educational exchanges and seminars as well as intensive laboratory training for junior faculty. These research collaborations and educational activities will serve as a basis for rapid integration of the new scientist's independent research into the expanding health disparities research network in Hawai'i. Achieving these objectives will increase opportunities for UH-affiliated researchers to address health disparities, particularly in Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations that demonstrate high rates of cardiovascular disease and related risk factors. Recruiting a cardiovascular scientist to UH will enhance the research capacity of the institution and the community, improve the quality of biomedical education and training, lead to collaborative relationships between existing research programs as well as to the development of innovative new programs, and increase the quality and quantity of community-based research efforts designed to address health disparities in the State of Hawai'i.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们寻求通过将分子心脏病专家招募到约翰·伯恩斯医学院（JABSOM）来减少心血管健康的差异，以增强与亚洲，夏威夷原住民，夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民社区合作进行研究的能力。 第一阶段（1和2年）将涉及成立外部咨询委员会（EAC）和内部咨询和选拔委员会（IASC），以监督招募经验丰富的研究科学家jabsom。为了实现招募高素质候选人的具体目的，第一阶段的活动将包括与IASC，EAC和焦点小组的互动，这些活动将指导对著名的心血管科学家进行积极搜索。 第二阶段（3 - 7年）将与招募的科学家担任首席研究员建立基于社区的研究和教育计划。 在第二阶段期间，将实现两个具体目标，即进行与心血管健康差异有关的最先进的研究，并制定一项教育计划，以增加致力于此类研究的研究人员的干部。 为了实现这些目标，我们建议与社区（包括社区卫生中心和研究诊所，公共和私营部门研究计划以及卫生部）合作，指导少数群体研究人员，计划和实施初级教职员工构想的试点项目以及旨在增强Hawaai'i大学（UH）研究生研究培训的教育活动的发展。 教育活动将包括实施心脏病学奖学金计划，并制定教育交流和研讨会以及初级教师的强化实验室培训。 这些研究合作和教育活动将作为将新科学家独立研究快速整合到夏威夷不断扩展的健康差异研究网络的基础。 实现这些目标将增加与UH附属研究人员解决健康差异的机会，特别是在亚洲，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民人群中，这些人口表现出高度的心血管疾病和相关危险因素。 招募心血管科学家将提高机构和社区的研究能力，提高生物医学教育和培训的质量，导致现有研究计划以及创新新计划的发展之间的合作关系，并提高旨在解决夏威夷州健康差异的社区研究工作的质量和数量。
