项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Minority children will likely outnumber white children by 2020. Unfortunately, pediatric workforce diversity has failed to keep pace, especially in academia. Minorities comprise 47% of US children, but only 24% of US pediatricians, and underrepresented minorities (URMs) make up only 11% of pediatricians and 7% of US medical-school faculty. Despite this substantial mismatch, very little has been published on research educational programs shown to be efficacious in recruitment and retention of diverse individuals pursuing careers in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, or social sciences. The proposed Academic Pediatric Association (APA) Research in Academic Pediatrics Initiative on Diversity (RAPID) would be the first such research educational program (to our knowledge) targeting faculty diversity in general academic pediatrics. The aim of RAPID is to design, implement, and evaluate a research educational program with the goal of successful recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of diverse junior faculty in general academic pediatrics pursuing careers in NIDDK mission areas. RAPID has several innovative components: 1) small research grants in NIDDK mission areas using a model shown to be effective in promoting career development of young investigators; 2) pairing of the RAPID scholar with a national mentor who is an accomplished senior investigator and seasoned mentor; 3) in-person mentoring and networking at an annual breakfast at the Pediatric Academic Societies meeting; 4) an educational symposium on career development and academic success; and 5) RAPID Scholar telephone conference calls every two months, to provide peer support, peer mentoring, networking, a venue for presenting research in progress, and opportunities for potential research collaborations. The APA has extensive available educational resources, experience, staff, and facilities, all of which will ensure the success of the proposed RAPID program. A clear vision of diversity is demonstrated and communicated throughout the APA by top-level management and leaders. The APA New Century Scholars (NCS) Program, a core APA program which is a lynchpin of the APA's diversity efforts, will link closely to RAPID; NCS is aimed at increasing workforce diversity in academic pediatrics by recruiting and mentoring URM pediatric residents from across the US who are interested in academic careers. If, as anticipated, the proposed hypotheses are confirmed, RAPID will result in: 1) successful recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of diverse junior faculty researchers; 2) increased likelihood that RAPID participants will present their project findings at a national professional meeting, publish their project findings, obtain additional research funding, obtain a career development award, maintain their APA membership, and highly rate their commitment to a research career in pediatric academic generalism; and 3) a potential model societal program for enhancing the diversity of young investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：到 2020 年，少数族裔儿童的数量可能会超过白人儿童。不幸的是，儿科劳动力的多样性未能跟上步伐，尤其是在学术界。少数族裔占美国儿童的 47%，但仅占美国儿科医生的 24%，代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 仅占儿科医生的 11% 和美国医学院教师的 7%。尽管存在这种严重的不匹配，但很少有研究教育项目被证明能够有效地招募和留住从事生物医学、行为、临床或社会科学职业的不同个人。拟议的学术儿科协会（APA）学术儿科多样性研究倡议（RAPID）将是第一个针对普通学术儿科教师多样性的研究教育计划（据我们所知）。 RAPID 的目标是设计、实施和评估一项研究教育计划，其目标是成功招募、保留和职业发展普通学术儿科的不同初级教师，以在 NIDDK 任务领域追求职业生涯。 RAPID 有几个创新组成部分：1）在 NIDDK 任务领域提供小额研究资助，使用的模型被证明可以有效促进年轻研究人员的职业发展； 2) RAPID学者与国家导师配对，该导师是一位有成就的高级研究员和经验丰富的导师； 3) 在儿科学术协会会议的年度早餐会上进行现场指导和交流； 4）关于职业发展和学业成功的教育研讨会； 5) 每两个月召开一次 RAPID Scholar 电话会议，提供同行支持、同行指导、网络、展示正在进行的研究的场所以及潜在研究合作的机会。 APA 拥有广泛的可用教育资源、经验、人员和设施，所有这些都将确保拟议的 RAPID 计划的成功。高层管理人员和领导者在整个 APA 中展示并传达了清晰的多元化愿景。 APA 新世纪学者 (NCS) 计划是 APA 的核心计划，也是 APA 多元化努力的关键，将与 RAPID 紧密联系； NCS 旨在通过招募和指导来自美国各地对学术职业感兴趣的 URM 儿科住院医师来增加学术儿科劳动力的多样性。如果正如预期的那样，所提出的假设得到证实，RAPID 将导致：1）成功招募、保留和促进不同初级研究人员的专业发展； 2) RAPID 参与者在全国专业会议上展示其项目结果、发表其项目结果、获得额外研究经费、获得职业发展奖、维持其 APA 会员资格以及高度评价其对儿科研究职业的承诺的可能性增加学术通才； 3）一个增强年轻研究者多样性的潜在社会计划模型。
