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的是在美国维尔京群岛（USVI）制定研究培训计划，该计划是激发了新一代代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生，从而追求针对的研究职业心血管健康。我们提出了一个为期八周的密集研究所维尔京群岛卫生部迈阿密米勒大学医学院（UMMSM）之间（Vidoh）和维尔京群岛大学（UVI），一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学。 hrsa- USVI指定的卫生专业短缺地区是一个文化上赋予的黑色地区，不成比例地患有CVD，有80％的USVI居民报告至少一个主要的CVD风险因素。 Vidoh，地区领先的医疗保健系统，面临许多挑战，包括卫生系统不足基础设施和减少医疗保健劳动力。超过30％的联邦政府资助的Vidoh职位是空置的 42％的资金公共卫生职位是未填补的。缺乏数据，有限的研究能力和飞行熟练的人力资本进一步加剧了这些挑战。作为回应，我们提出了心血管旨在提高知识，技能和动力的研究授权劳动力（CREW）计划 URM学者购买研究职业。 Ummsm是URM培训的全国领导者，研究基础设施和培训专业知识针对所有学术级别的学习者。与USVI的医疗保健环境，机组人员将利用UMMSM丰富的跨学科研究环境来准备新兴的URM研究人员的同类群体以解决USVI中的CVD及相关分布。目的计划是：1）促进USVI大学生的沉浸式研究经验和相关分布； 2）实施一个支持有意义研究的引人入胜的课程经验和护士的培训者有潜力设想以CVD为重点的研究职业； 3）建立受训者和机组人员之间的支持网络，以进行持续的指导，研究合作，和研究生的准备工作。改编自UMMSM现有的URM管道计划，Crew Currricula将从UM研究中心抽取，包括临床和转化科学研究所，翻译睡眠中心，多样性办公室和佛罗里达州卒中中心。在八周的经历中，船员学者将接受与CVD相关的研究，专业发展和持续研究的动手接触通过沉浸在特定的基于USVI的研究项目中进行培训。在五年的资金期内，50 URM 来自USVI的学者将获得指导和学习创造文化定制心血管的策略临床和基本科学中基于证据的模型的干预措施。通过这样做，该计划将进一步开发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，作为催化剂，以增加USVI科学家在医疗保健劳动力。
