项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our long-term goal for the VNED is to create a cadre of mental health researchers studying suicide prevention who are members of, or interested in working with, diverse populations. To do so requires attracting early career investigators with these backgrounds and interests, and providing them with the mentorship, knowledge, and skills needed for successful academic careers. Our first objective is to engage members of diverse populations in the scientific enterprise by supporting their study of a major public health problem of relevance to their communities, such as suicide. Our second is to explore innovative ways of drawing people into virtual and face-to-face activities that will encourage and support mentoring, research collaborations and training experiences. The most cost-effective and efficient way to provide nurturing, consultation and support is through the use of virtual technologies to supplement more traditional, face-to- face (F2F) encounters; that is, to create a virtual network. The specific aims of this proposal are (1) to recruit a critical mass of suicide prevention research teams consisting of mentors and proteges; (2) to create an Academic Development Plan (ADP) for each protege that reflects expected participation and contributions by all the team members; (3) to provide opportunities for experiential learning through activities designed to disseminate content on the current state of suicide research in diverse populations; and (4) to evaluate the effectiveness of the network to recruit, retain and educate its members and thereby develop a robust supportive virtual community of suicide researchers that represent the heterogeneity of the US population. Measurable outcomes are to produce two webinar series, for network members to submit a manuscript outlining lessons learned with regards to suicide research with diverse populations, for each protege to construct a well thought out research proposal outline and an individualized ADP, and for the proteges and mentors to participate in a F2F focus group session. This resulting mentoring network will provide the infrastructure to facilitate learning and engagement with geographically-dispersed suicide research scientists who represent the diversity in the US population. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Through specific virtual and face-to-face interactive programs, career development opportunities, and tailored mentoring VNED proteges from diverse backgrounds will develop skills and knowledge necessary for establishing a career in the study of a major public health concern: suicide in diverse populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的VNED长期目标是创建一群研究预防自杀的心理健康研究人员，这些研究人员是与不同人群合作或有兴趣的成员。为此，需要吸引具有这些背景和兴趣的早期职业调查员，并为他们提供成功的学术职业所需的指导，知识和技能。我们的第一个目标是通过支持他们对与社区相关的主要公共卫生问题（例如自杀）的研究，使科学企业中的不同人口的成员参与其中。我们的第二个是探索将人们参与虚拟和面对面活动的创新方式，以鼓励和支持指导，研究合作和培训经验。提供养育，咨询和支持的最具成本效益和有效的方法是使用虚拟技术来补充更传统的面对面（F2F）遭遇；也就是说，创建虚拟网络。该提案的具体目的是（1）招募由导师和蛋白质组成的临界自杀预防研究团队；（2）为每个蛋白质制定一个学术发展计划（ADP），以反映所有团队成员的预期参与和贡献；（3）通过旨在传播各种人群中自杀研究状态的活动的活动来提供体验学习的机会；（4）评估网络招募，保留和教育其成员的有效性，从而建立一个强大的自杀研究人员的支持虚拟社区，这些虚拟社区代表了美国人口的异质性。可衡量的结果将制作两个网络研讨会系列，供网络成员提交一份手稿，概述与不同人群的自杀研究所学的经验教训，以供每个蛋白质构建一个经过深思熟虑的研究建议概述和个性化的ADP，以及proteges and Mentors和Mentors参加F2F焦点小组会议。由此产生的指导网络将提供基础设施，以促进与代表美国人口多样性的地理自杀研究科学家的学习和参与。公共卫生相关性：通过特定的虚拟和面对面的互动计划，职业发展机会以及量身定制的指导来自不同背景的Vned Proteges将开发出在研究主要公共卫生关注方面建立职业所必需的技能和知识：自杀人群的自杀。
