PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Obesity, nutrition, and diabetes research in the United States suffers from a lack of diversity in the research community, as underrepresented (UR) investigators face more challenges than their majority counterparts and leave academic research positions at a higher rate. We propose a comprehensive longitudinal career advancement program, Creating Opportunities for Underrepresented Researchers to Achieve Growth and Excellence (COURAGE), to provide skill-building, leadership development, hands-on mentored experience in manuscript writing and grant preparation, and multi-level mentoring to support UR researchers in obesity, nutrition, and diabetes. Two cohorts of 10 COURAGE Scholars will be recruited to participate in a 3+ year program. The first two years will consist of group and individualized curricula, mentored research and writing experiences, execution of the pilot project, and multi-level mentoring. Year 3 onward will consist of ongoing mentoring from faculty and program leadership, continued engagement with COURAGE peers, and access to program resources. The MPIs leading COURAGE are accomplished researchers who bring complementary expertise in implementing programs to advance early-career researchers from UR backgrounds. Dr. Morone led a successful UR career development program at the University of Pittsburg and is now MPI of an NIH U01 testing this year-long intervention at sites around the country. Her expertise in implementing skill-building curricula makes her ideally suited to lead Aim 1, to provide a longitudinal program of skill-building to promote success in obesity, nutrition, and diabetes research. Dr. Stanley has extensive experience mentoring fellows and junior faculty, and she leads the successful pilot and feasibility program for the Nutrition Obesity Research Center at Harvard. She is thus ideally suited to lead Aim 2, to mentor COURAGE Scholars in the successful completion of pilot projects and application for an NIH grant. Dr. Stanford is an accomplished national leader and advocate for diversity within academic medicine; she is ideally suited to lead Aim 3, to prepare Scholars for academic leadership. Scholars will build a mentorship network that includes their peers, the MPIs, the Program Director, Dr. Mattei, the COURAGE epidemiologist Dr. Fox, and COURAGE faculty mentors. Scholars will complete the program with key deliverables including at least one submitted manuscript, a completed pilot project, and a submitted grant application. This program is a collaboration between multiple academic institutions: Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, Boston Medical Center/Boston University, Morehouse School of Medicine, and University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus. COURAGE program leadership and mentors represent all these institutions, and Scholars will be recruited representing each of these institutions. At the completion of COURAGE, Scholars will have enhanced academic and leadership skills, mentored research and writing experience with completed manuscript(s) and grant submissions, and a robust mentoring network that will continue supporting them as they move forward in their careers.

项目概要/摘要 美国的肥胖、营养和糖尿病研究缺乏多样性 社区，因为代表性不足 (UR) 调查员比大多数同行面临更多挑战， 以更高的比例离开学术研究职位。我们提出全面的纵向职业生涯 进步计划，为代表性不足的研究人员创造机会以实现成长和 卓越（COURAGE），提供技能培养、领导力发展、实践指导经验 手稿撰写和资助准备，以及支持 UR 研究人员在肥胖方面的多层次指导， 营养和糖尿病。将招募两批 10 名勇气学者参加为期 3 年以上的项目 程序。前两年将包括小组和个性化课程、指导研究和写作 经验、试点项目的执行以及多层次的指导。第三年以后将包括持续的 来自教师和项目领导的指导、与 COURAGE 同行的持续接触以及获得 节目资源。 MPI 领导的 COURAGE 是有成就的研究人员，他们带来了互补的 实施项目以促进来自 UR 背景的早期职业研究人员的专业知识。莫罗内博士 在匹兹堡大学领导了成功的 UR 职业发展项目，现在是 NIH U01 的 MPI 在全国各地测试为期一年的干预措施。她在实施技能建设方面的专业知识 课程使她非常适合领导目标 1，即提供纵向技能建设计划，以促进 在肥胖、营养和糖尿病研究方面取得成功。斯坦利博士拥有丰富的指导研究员的经验 和初级教师，她领导了营养肥胖研究的成功试点和可行性计划 哈佛大学中心。因此，她非常适合领导目标 2，指导 COURAGE Scholars 取得成功 完成试点项目并申请 NIH 拨款。斯坦福博士是一位卓有成就的国家领导人 倡导学术医学的多样性；她非常适合领导目标 3，培养学者 学术领导力。学者们将建立一个导师网络，其中包括他们的同行、MPI、 项目主任 Mattei 博士、COURAGE 流行病学家 Fox 博士以及 COURAGE 教员导师。学者 将完成该计划并提供关键交付成果，包括至少一份提交的手稿、已完成的试点 项目，以及提交的赠款申请。该计划是多个学术机构之间的合作 机构：麻省总医院、哈佛大学、波士顿医学中心/波士顿大学、 莫尔豪斯医学院和波多黎各大学医学科学校区。勇气计划 领导层和导师代表所有这些机构，并且将招募代表每个机构的学者 这些机构。完成“勇气”课程后，学者们将提高学术和领导能力 技能、指导研究和完成手稿和资助申请的写作经验，以及 强大的指导网络将在他们的职业生涯中继续支持他们。
