Abstract/Summary It is increasingly recognized that a diverse workforce is important to academic productivity. However, members of ethnic minority groups are currently underrepresented in academia. This underrepresentation in academia has a direct effect on health disparities research, including studies related to nutrition, obesity, and/or diabetes. Underrepresented minority (URM) scientists tend to engage in research that addresses issues relevant to ethnic minority groups. In order for URM scientists to make a sustained impact on issues relevant to the National Institute for Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), they must be able to obtain federal grant funding. The Louisiana Center for Advancing Underrepresented Scientists Careers in Health, Nutrition, Obesity, and Disparities Research (LAUNCHED) will recruitment, competing develop a comprehensive program of mentoring, training, and career development to increase the success rate of URM scientists for federal research funding.The LAUNCHED proposal is a collaboration among several institutions with existing working relationships. The project will be led by investigators from Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, LA, along with Tulane University, Louisiana State University (LSU) A&M, LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO). The program will also involve two Historically Black Colleges and Universities including Xavier University of Louisiana, and Southern University. Two cohorts of URM scientists (cohort members) will be recruited, and will include 10-20 mentees who will each spend 2 years in the program. Pennington Biomedical is home to several obesity and diabetes related center grants, which will work synergistically with the LAUNCHED program to provide a comprehensive training program for the cohort members. The center grant infrastructure will allow the LAUNCHED program to provide cohort members with mentorship, grant writing opportunities, didactic instruction in nutrition and diabetes, and a Pilot and Feasibility program. There will also be several components that are tailored to the specific needs of URM scientists. The LAUNCHED program will provide didactics on diabetes, obesity, and nutrition as it relates to health disparities. Mentors will be educated on barriers facing URM scientists and will be provided with specific skills for working effectively with URM scientists. Senior URM scientists will interact with cohort members in order to serve as role models and share strategies for academic success. Career coaching will be delivered by professional coaches with experience working with URM scientists. In addition, the LAUNCHED program has expertise in mentoring and career coaching organization to work successfully with ethnic minority women. Ultimately, the LAUNCHED program will provide a comprehensive and data-driven training program that will prepare URM scientists to successfully compete for NIH grant funding.

摘要/摘要 人们越来越认识到，多样化的劳动力对学术生产力很重要。然而， 目前，少数民族群体的成员在学术界的人数不足。这种代表性不足 学术界对健康差异研究有直接影响，包括与营养，肥胖有关的研究 和/或糖尿病。代表性不足的少数民族（URM）科学家倾向于从事解决问题的研究 与少数民族群体有关。为了使URM科学家对与 美国国家糖尿病，消化和肾脏疾病研究所（NIDDK），他们必须能够获得 联邦赠款资金。路易斯安那州推进代表性不足的科学家职业中心的健康中心 营养，肥胖和差异研究（启动）将 招聘， 竞争 制定一个综合计划 指导，培训和职业发展以提高URM科学家的成功率 对于联邦研究资助。发起的提案是几个机构之间的合作 与现有的工作关系。该项目将由彭宁顿生物医学的调查员领导 路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）A＆M的杜兰大学，洛杉矶巴吞鲁日的研究中心， LSU健康科学中心新奥尔良（LSUHSC-NO）。该计划还将涉及两个历史上的黑色 包括路易斯安那州泽维尔大学和南部大学在内的大学和大学。两个队列 URM科学家（队列成员）将被招募，并将包括10-20名受训者，他们每个人都花2 该计划的年。彭宁顿生物医学是几种肥胖和糖尿病相关的中心补助的所在地， 它将与启动计划协同合作，以提供全面的培训计划 队列成员。中心赠款基础设施将允许启动的计划提供队列 有指导，授予写作机会，营养和糖尿病教学教学的成员以及飞行员 和可行性计划。还将根据URM的特定需求量身定制几个组件 科学家。启动的计划将提供与糖尿病，肥胖和营养有关的教学法。 健康差异。导师将接受有关URM科学家面临的障碍的教育，并将为 与URM科学家有效合作的技能。高级URM科学家将与队列成员互动 为了充当榜样并分享学术成功的策略。职业教练将由 与URM科学家合作的专业教练。此外，启动的程序具有 指导和职业教练组织的专业知识与少数民族妇女成功合作。 最终，启动的计划将提供一个全面的，数据驱动的培训计划 为URM科学家准备成功竞争NIH赠款资金。
