项目摘要

Project Abstract The long-term objective of the Endowment for Cardiometabolic Health Disparities Research is to expand the capacity of Meharry Medical College (MMC) to enhance research and research training in minority health. The program will address health disparities in cardiometabolic health disproportionately prevalent in the African Americans in Nashville and Davidson County, the catchment areas of MMC. We will accomplish this objective by recruiting a well-established anchor faculty to build intellectual capacity, increasing the number of PhD students from underrepresented backgrounds in health disparity research, providing interdisciplinary research and leadership training to postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty from underrepresented backgrounds, and increasing the number of health professional faculty involved in cardiovascular health disparity research. To achieve our goal, there are 5 priority activities. Priority Activity 1 is to develop a bachelors to masters to PhD pathway program in partnership with nearby undergraduate HBCU institutions. We will develop graduate curriculum and establish a new PhD training graduate concentration in cardiometabolic health disparities research. Priority Activity 2 is to hire a Senior Magnet Cardiovascular Scientist and Junior Scientist to build a corpus of researchers. Priority Activity 3 is to develop a research leadership program for postdoctoral fellows to early-stage tenure-track faculty underrepresented in medicine and science to allow them to successfully establish their independent research programs and transition to successful tenure status. Priority Activity 4 is to establish an annual Presidents Seminar to bring accomplished, nationally recognized prominent researchers on the Meharry campus to present and to engage with our PhD candidates and faculty for new networking/mentoring opportunities. Priority Activity 5 is to invest in research infrastructure to advance technological innovation on our campus for experimentation, data collection, and translational research focused on health disparities of cardiometabolic disease. With endowment funds secured through the S21 mechanism, we will provide robust training opportunities to encourage more participation in health disparities research focused on cardiometabolic diseases. The impact will be establishment of a sustainable program that includes health disparity curricula for graduate students, a postdoctoral fellow to tenure-track faculty development pathway, and a critical corpus of health disparity researchers with active research projects in the area focused on cardiometabolic health disparities. Leveraging our ongoing academic relationships with the neighboring undergraduate HBCUs, training pathways in partnership with Tennessee State University and Fisk University, located in the one-mile corridor of MMC, will create a scholarly environment for teaching and research to address the challenge of halting and reducing the widening gap of cardiovascular health disparities within the minority populations of the US.

项目摘要心脏代谢健康差异研究基金会的长期目标是扩大梅哈里医学院 (MMC) 加强少数民族健康研究和研究培训的能力。这该计划将解决非洲地区普遍存在的心脏代谢健康方面的健康差异居住在 MMC 辖区纳什维尔和戴维森县的美国人。我们将实现这个目标通过招募一支实力雄厚的主力教师来培养智力能力，增加博士人数来自健康差异研究领域代表性不足的学生，提供跨学科研究对来自代表性不足背景的博士后研究员和初级教师进行领导力培训，以及增加参与心血管健康差异研究的卫生专业教师数量。到为实现我们的目标，有 5 项优先活动。优先活动 1 是培养从学士到硕士到博士的人才与附近的 HBCU 本科院校合作开展衔接课程。我们将培养毕业生课程并建立新的博士研究生培训重点，研究心脏代谢健康差异研究。优先活动 2 是聘请一位高级磁铁心血管科学家和初级科学家来建立一个研究人员语料库。优先活动 3 是为博士后研究员制定研究领导力计划早期终身教授在医学和科学领域的代表性不足，无法让他们成功建立他们的独立研究计划并过渡到成功的终身教职地位。优先活动 4 是设立年度主席研讨会，汇聚有成就的、国家认可的杰出研究人员梅哈里校区展示并与我们的博士生和教师进行新的网络/指导机会。优先活动 5 是投资研究基础设施，以推进我们的技术创新实验、数据收集和转化研究的校园，重点关注健康差异心脏代谢疾病。凭借通过 S21 机制获得的捐赠基金，我们将提供稳健的提供培训机会，鼓励更多人参与以心脏代谢为重点的健康差异研究疾病。其影响将是建立一个可持续的计划，其中包括健康差异课程研究生、博士后研究员以终身教授的方式发展道路，以及一个重要的语料库在心脏代谢健康领域开展活跃研究项目的健康差异研究人员差异。利用我们与邻近的 HBCU 本科生持续的学术关系，培训与田纳西州立大学和菲斯克大学合作的路径，位于一英里走廊 MMC，将为教学和研究创造一个学术环境，以应对停止和缩小美国少数族裔之间日益扩大的心血管健康差距。
