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：尽管识别风险因素和使用基于循证的使用方面取得了进步 管理心血管疾病（CV）疾病的策略，死亡率的最近下降已经停滞不前 差异持续。总体而言，从事简历研究职业的种族和少数民族的数量 很低。翻译研究是一个快速发展的领域，它改变了科学发现。 实验室，临床或人群研究临床应用，而实施研究促进了 将研究结果和基于证据的干预措施整合到医疗保健政策，公共卫生和 临床环境。可以测试的翻译和实施科学家训练有素且多样化的劳动力 在路易斯安那州迫切需要创新的思想，并提高采用和实践的良好疗法 以及密西西比三角洲地区，CV健康指标通常在国家和健康状况中最差 种族，社会经济地位和地理的差异已得到充分记录。总体目标 杜兰大学的新专业T32培训计划的申请是增加 来自代表性不足的背景的翻译和实施研究人员可以建立多样化的劳动力 这可以解决该地区的简历健康差异。杜兰大学多元化培训计划 心血管疾病（驱动）的翻译和实施研究将借鉴专业知识 杰出的调查员向来自代表性不足的学员提供教学学的学员， 他们需要在简历翻译方面成为成功的研究人员所需的经验，技能，指导和资源 实施科学。该计划将为八个主体提供深入的结构化培训支持 来自不同和服务不足的背景的候选人，利用杰出的调查员和正在进行的候选人 简历临床试验（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，将初级和高级导师融入到 通过其个性化的发展计划来指导学员，以获取关键技能并运用这些技能 在实践研究经验中，以解决路易斯安那州和密西西比三角洲的简历健康差异 地区。该计划主任将由执行运营委员会和外部委员会协助 来自代表性不足的背景的顾问，具有卓越的研究职业和指导经验。 导师将使用定义和经过验证的方法来增强学员的发展和成功，而 所有学员将参加一系列讲授赠款写作，手稿写作和专业的研讨会 开发技能，包括优化演示，沟通和的最佳实践策略 联网。拟议的培训计划旨在为翻译多样化做出贡献 实施劳动力，减轻简历疾病和代谢风险因素的负担，消除健康 差异，改善路易斯安那州和国家的健康公平。
