项目摘要

The overall goal of the NINDS-proposed UC San Diego Leading the Advancement of Underrepresented Neuroscientists for Change (LAUNCH) program is to effectively mentor and train individuals underrepresented in neurosciences in critical career development skills and research to enhance the development of competitive neuroscience research programs and success in obtaining independent extramural research funding in a visiting scholars program. LAUNCH will utilize asset models and evidence-based strategies to enhance effective mentoring, career skill development, and research training. LAUNCH is directed by five PIs with a history of mentoring and training junior faculty and postdoctoral fellows and success in creating and implementing career development and mentoring programs specifically for underrepresented minority (URM) trainees and women. All PIs have successfully led extramurally funded training programs; four of the five PIs are actively engaged in NIH-sponsored biomedical research, 3 PIs are women, and two PIs are from URM backgrounds. The overall goal of the NINDS-proposed UC San Diego Leading the Advancement of Underrepresented Neuroscientists for Change (LAUNCH) program is to effectively mentor and train underrepresented early career neuroscientists in critical career development and research skills to enhance the development of research programs and success and in obtaining independent extramural research funding. The specific objectives of the UCSD LAUNCH program are to increase the representation of scientists from backgrounds underrepresented in neurosciences in obtaining effective mentorship, critical career development skills, research training and grant funding. Three specific aims are proposed. Aim 1 is to recruit underrepresented junior faculty and transitioning postdoctoral fellows who have neuroscience scientific expertise aligned with those of our research mentors in the areas of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, cellular, developmental and molecular neurosciences and computational and systems neurosciences, particular strengths of UC San Diego. Aim 2 is to use asset models and evidence-based strategies to enhance career skill development and effective mentorship of participants using a Faculty Research and Career Advancement Plan to identify short- and long-term career and research goals, engage in effective mentorship with a 3-membered mentoring team, and extend knowledge and skills in specific career development areas. Aim 3 is to promote research training and research self-efficacy of participants by extending research knowledge, skills and strategies through direct training with a UCSD faculty research mentor and immersion in activities that will enhance research progress, collaborations and networking, grant writing skills, and as well as publication strategies that will accelerate successful research program development and submission of an NIH or equivalent grant. LAUNCH includes PIs with extensive experience in program and career development and neuroscience research, a strong cohort of UC San Diego faculty neuroscience researchers and career mentors from underrepresented backgrounds.

NINDS 提议的加州大学圣地亚哥分校领导促进代表性不足的神经科学家变革 (LAUNCH) 计划的总体目标是有效指导和培训神经科学领域代表性不足的个人关键职业发展技能和研究，以促进有竞争力的神经科学研究项目和研究的发展。在访问学者计划中成功获得独立的校外研究经费。 LAUNCH 将利用资产模型和基于证据的策略来加强有效的指导、职业技能发展和研究培训。 LAUNCH 由五名 PI 领导，他们拥有指导和培训初级教师和博士后研究员的历史，并成功创建和实施专门针对代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学员和女性的职业发展和指导计划。所有 PI 均成功领导了校外资助的培训项目；五名 PI 中的四名积极参与 NIH 资助的生物医学研究，其中 3 名 PI 是女性，两名 PI 具有 URM 背景。 NINDS 提议的加州大学圣地亚哥分校领导促进代表性不足的神经科学家变革 (LAUNCH) 计划的总体目标是有效指导和培训代表性不足的早期职业神经科学家关键的职业发展和研究技能，以促进研究项目的发展和成功，获得独立的校外研究经费。加州大学圣地亚哥分校启动计划的具体目标是增加来自神经科学领域代表性不足的科学家的代表性，以获得有效的指导、关键的职业发展技能、研究培训和拨款。提出了三个具体目标。目标 1 是招募代表性不足的初级教师和过渡博士后研究员，他们在阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆、细胞、发育和分子神经科学以及计算和系统神经科学领域具有与我们的研究导师一致的神经科学专业知识，特别是加州大学的优势圣地亚哥。目标 2 是使用资产模型和基于证据的策略来增强职业技能发展和对参与者的有效指导，使用教师研究和职业发展计划来确定短期和长期的职业和研究目标，以 3 参与有效的指导- 指导团队成员，并扩展特定职业发展领域的知识和技能。目标 3 是通过加州大学圣地亚哥分校教职研究导师的直接培训以及沉浸在可促进研究进展、合作和网络、资助写作技巧和以及将加速成功的研究计划开发和提交 NIH 或同等资助的出版策略。 LAUNCH 包括在项目和职业发展以及神经科学研究方面拥有丰富经验的 PI、强大的加州大学圣地亚哥分校神经科学研究人员队伍以及来自代表性不足背景的职业导师。
