1 Abstract 2 Despite advantages of drawing on diverse perspectives to inform research, there are several groups 3 underrepresented in the research workforce, include those with Latin American or African American identities, 4 and individuals from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Trainees and investigators, including those 5 from these underrepresented groups, face challenges in career advancement within academic and other 6 institutions, including challenges in the development of a strong publication track record and in the 7 establishment of an independently funded program of research. There is a critical need to complement degree- 8 based training programs by offering structured research skill training and mentorship to support career 9 advancement opportunities for trainees from diverse backgrounds currently underrepresented in the research 10 workforce. 11 12 We propose to take advantage of our active research partnerships in Latin America and Africa to provide 13 research training opportunities in urban health and health disparities research for individuals from diverse 14 backgrounds, including groups underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences 15 research in the United States. The Global Alliance for Training in Health Equity Research (GATHER) 16 program will provide immersive research and didactic training experiences in a diverse and inclusive 17 environment, tailored to the research productivity and career advancement goals of eligible doctoral students 18 and postdoctoral fellows. We anticipate funding 8 trainees per year for 3-12 month appointments. 19 20 A key component of the program will be a visit of 1-3 months at one of our global partner sites: National 21 Institute for Public Health (INSP) in Mexico, Belo Horizonte Observatory for Urban Health (OSUBH) in 22 Brazil, Higher Institute of Population Sciences (ISSP) in Burkina Faso, and African Population and 23 Health Research Center (APHRC) in Kenya. The full-time research skill training program will also include a 24 week of welcome activities and intensive training in research skills as the program cycle launches each year, 25 participation in regular research seminars, mentored individual career development planning and activities, 26 participation in major international conferences, and opportunities to lead or participate as co-author on 27 research manuscripts and summary briefs. Intended outcomes are commitment to research, research 28 productivity, and continuation of trainees into the next phase of their research careers and may include 29 progression to postdoctoral training or securing a faculty or other research position. Evaluation of program 30 impact will include contact with trainees and mentors throughout the program and continuing annually following 31 program participation.

1 摘要 2 尽管利用不同的观点为研究提供信息有很多优势，但有几个群体 3 在研究队伍中代表性不足，包括具有拉丁美洲或非裔美国人身份的人， 4 以及来自低收入和中等收入国家 (LMIC) 的个人。受训者和调查员，包括那些 这些代表性不足的群体中的 5 人面临学术和其他领域职业发展的挑战 6 个机构，包括在发展良好的出版业绩记录和 7 建立独立资助的研究计划。迫切需要补充学位- 8 个基础培训计划，通过提供结构化研究技能培训和指导来支持职业生涯 为目前研究中代表性不足的不同背景的学员提供 9 个晋升机会 10名劳动力。 11 12 我们建议利用我们在拉丁美洲和非洲的积极研究伙伴关系，提供 为来自不同背景的个人提供 13 个城市健康和健康差异研究方面的研究培训机会 14 个背景，包括生物医学、行为、临床和社会科学领域代表性不足的群体 15 美国的研究。全球健康公平研究培训联盟 (GATHER) 16 个项目将以多元化和包容性的方式提供沉浸式研究和教学培训体验 17 个环境，专为符合条件的博士生的研究生产力和职业发展目标而定制 18名博士后。我们预计每年资助 8 名学员进行为期 3-12 个月的培训。 19 20 该计划的一个关键组成部分是对我们的全球合作伙伴地点之一进行为期 1-3 个月的访问：国家 21 墨西哥公共卫生研究所 (INSP)、贝洛奥里藏特城市健康观测站 (OSUBH) 22 巴西、布基纳法索高等人口科学研究所 (ISSP)、非洲人口和 23 肯尼亚健康研究中心（APHRC）。全日制研究技能培训计划还将包括 每年随着项目周期的启动，为期 24 周的欢迎活动和研究技能强化培训， 25 参加定期研究研讨会，指导个人职业发展规划和活动， 26 参加重大国际会议，并有机会作为共同作者领导或参与 27 份研究手稿和摘要。预期成果是致力于研究、研究 28 生产力，以及受训者继续进入其研究生涯下一阶段的能力，可能包括 29 晋升为博士后培训或获得教职或其他研究职位。方案评估 30 影响将包括在整个计划期间与学员和导师的联系，并在每年之后继续 31个项目参与。
