项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The elimination of health disparities in Arkansas is an elusive goal because the state's African American population is disproportionately burdened by chronic disease. To address this issue, the state needs, in part, a diverse and highly productive research workforce completing research that can be translated into policies, programs, and environments that reduce disparities and promote health equity. Studies suggest that early stage investigators (ESIs) are most productive when provided with structured support (e.g., mentorship, professional development opportunities, opportunities to collect preliminary data to support extramural grant applications) and that these effects are particularly notable among ESIs who are members of health disparity groups that are underrepresented in science. Thus, the proposed Investigator Development Core (IDC) of the Arkansas Center for Health Disparities will build upon the substantial success of our Exploratory Center of Excellence by including a multilevel model of support and professional development for ESIs who will conduct translatable research that benefits socially disadvantaged African American Arkansans. The overarching goal of the IDC is to expand opportunities for ESIs to engage in multidisciplinary and multilevel minority health and health disparities research that examines chronic disease disparities among socially disadvantaged African American populations. This goal will be achieved through implementation of a pilot studies program that provides structured mentorship (via on- and off-campus mentorship collaborations) while supporting the generation of preliminary data and, subsequently, dissemination of results and submission of extramural grant applications. The IDC will adapt and implement an established pilot project program; provide advisory and technical-support resources for rigorous research design and appropriate statistical analyses; and implement a program of multisource team mentorship for pilot project researchers. These efforts are expected to result in: increased recruitment, retention and advancement of ESIs conducted health disparities research within the Center's thematic focus; and increased health disparities research that informs health policy and program design to reduce disparities.

项目摘要/摘要消除阿肯色州的健康差异是一个难以捉摸的目标，因为该州的非裔美国人慢性疾病的人口负担不成比例。为了解决这个问题，国家需要部分多样化和高产的研究人员完成研究，可以将其转化为政策，计划和降低差异并促进健康平等的环境。研究表明早期提供结构化支持时，舞台研究人员（ESI）的生产力最高（例如，指导，专业发展机会，收集初步数据以支持壁外赠款的机会应用程序），这些效果在健康差异成员的ESI中特别值得注意在科学领域的人数不足的群体。因此，提议的研究者发展核心（IDC）阿肯色州健康差异中心将建立在我们的探索中心取得的巨大成功基础上通过在ESI的支持和专业发展的多层次模型中包括进行卓越的ESI 可翻译的研究，使社会不利的非洲裔美国阿肯色州受益。总体目标 IDC的工作是扩大ESI的机会，从而从事多学科和多层次的少数民族健康与健康差异研究研究了社会上慢性疾病差异弱势的非裔美国人人口。该目标将通过实施飞行员实现提供结构化指导（通过校外和校外指导合作）的研究计划，而支持初步数据的生成，随后传播结果和提交壁外拨款申请。 IDC将适应并实施既定的试点项目计划；提供严格的研究设计和适当的统计分析的咨询和技术支持资源；和为试点项目研究人员实施多元化团队指导计划。这些努力是期望的最终：ESIS进行健康差异研究的招聘，保留和进步增加在中心的主题重点内；并增加了健康差异研究，为健康政策和计划设计以减少差异。
