项目摘要

Abstract The goal of this application is to develop a research training program in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) that inspires a new generation of underrepresented minority (URM) students to pursue research careers targeting cardiovascular health. We propose an eight-week intensive summer research institute delivered in partnership between the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (UMMSM), Virgin Islands Department of Health (VIDOH), and University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), a historically Black College and University. A HRSA- designated Health Professional Shortage Area, USVI is a culturally-distinct Black region that disproportionately suffers from CVD, with 80% of USVI residents reporting at least one major CVD risk factor. VIDOH, the region's leading healthcare system, faces numerous challenges including an inadequate health system infrastructure and diminishing healthcare workforce. Over 30% of federally funded VIDOH positions are vacant and 42% of funded public health positions are unfilled. Lack of data, limited research capacity, and flight of skilled human capital further exacerbate these challenges. In response, we propose the Cardiovascular Research Empowerment Workforce (CREW) program aimed at increasing knowledge, skills, and motivation of URM scholars to pursue research careers. UMMSM is a national leader in URM training with an extensive research infrastructure and training expertise targeting learners at all academic levels. Aligned with the USVI’s healthcare context, CREW will leverage UMMSM’s rich, interdisciplinary research environment to prepare a cohort of emerging URM researchers to address CVD and related disparities in the USVI. The aims of the program are to: 1) facilitate immersive research experiences for USVI college students addressing CVD and related disparities; 2) implement an engaging curriculum that supports meaningful research experiences and nurtures trainee potential to envision a CVD-focused research career; and 3) establish a support network among trainees and CREW mentors for ongoing mentorship, research collaboration, and grad school preparation. Adapted from UMMSM’s existing URM pipeline programs, CREW curricula will draw from UM research centers, including the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, Translational Sleep Center, Office of Diversity, and Florida Stroke Center. During the eight-week experience, CREW scholars will receive hands-on exposure to CVD-related research, professional development, and continuous research training through immersion in a specific USVI-based research project. In the five-year funding period, 50 URM scholars from USVI will receive mentorship and learn strategies to create culturally-tailored cardiovascular interventions from evidence-based models in clinical and basic sciences. By doing so, the program will further develop USVI’s undergraduate research training infrastructure and promote locally designed research addressing CVD disparities, serving as a catalyst to increase the representation of USVI scientists in the healthcare workforce.

抽象的该应用程序的目标是在美属维尔京群岛 (USVI) 开发一个研究培训计划，激励新一代代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生追求针对以下目标的研究职业我们建议合作开展为期八周的夏季强化研究。迈阿密大学米勒医学院 (UMMSM)、维尔京群岛卫生部 (VIDOH) 和维尔京群岛大学 (UVI)，一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学。指定的卫生专业人员短缺地区，美属维尔京群岛是一个文化独特的黑人地区，患有 CVD，80% 的 USVI 居民报告至少有一项主要的 CVD 风险因素，即 VIDOH。该地区领先的医疗保健系统面临着众多挑战，包括卫生系统不足基础设施建设和医疗保健劳动力不断减少，超过 30% 的联邦资助的 VIDOH 职位空缺。 42% 的受资助公共卫生职位空缺，缺乏数据、研究能力有限以及人员流失。熟练的人力资本进一步加剧了这些挑战，为此，我们提出了心血管。研究赋权劳动力 (CREW) 计划旨在提高研究人员的知识、技能和积极性 URM 学者致力于研究事业，UMMSM 是 URM 培训领域的全国领先者，拥有广泛的研究成果。针对所有学术水平的学习者的研究基础设施和培训专业知识与美属维尔京群岛的一致。在医疗保健背景下，CREW 将利用 UMMSM 丰富的跨学科研究环境来准备一群新兴的 URM 研究人员致力于解决美属维尔京群岛的 CVD 和相关差异。计划旨在：1) 为 USVI 大学生提供沉浸式研究体验，解决 CVD 问题以及相关的差异；2）实施支持有意义的研究的引人入胜的课程积累经验并培养学员潜力，以构想以 CVD 为重点的研究职业；3) 学员和 CREW 导师之间的支持网络，用于持续指导、研究合作、 CREW 课程改编自 UMMSM 现有的 URM 管道项目。来自密歇根大学研究中心，包括临床和转化科学研究所、转化睡眠研究所中心、多样性办公室和佛罗里达中风中心在为期八周的体验中，CREW 学者将亲身接触 CVD 相关研究、专业发展和持续研究通过沉浸在特定的 USVI 研究项目中进行培训在五年资助期内，50 URM。来自美属维尔京群岛的学者将接受指导并学习创建适合文化的心血管疾病的策略通过这样做，该计划将进一步推进临床和基础科学中基于证据的模型的干预。发展USVI的本科研究培训基础设施并促进本地设计的研究解决 CVD 差异，作为增加 USVI 科学家在该领域的代表性的催化剂医疗保健劳动力。
