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.

项目概要/摘要消除阿肯色州的健康差距是一个难以实现的目标，因为该州的非裔美国人人口承受着不成比例的慢性疾病负担。为了解决这个问题，国家需要在一定程度上多样化且高生产力的研究人员完成可以转化为政策的研究，减少差距和促进健康公平的计划和环境。研究表明，早期当阶段研究者 (ESI) 获得结构化支持（例如指导、专业发展机会、收集初步数据以支持校外资助的机会应用程序），并且这些影响在作为健康差距成员的 ESI 中尤其显着在科学领域代表性不足的群体。因此，拟议的研究者开发核心（IDC）阿肯色州健康差异中心将以我们的探索中心取得的巨大成功为基础通过为 ESI 提供多层次的支持和专业发展模型来实现卓越，ESI 将开展造福于社会弱势非裔美国阿肯色人的可转化研究。总体目标 IDC 的目标是扩大 ESI 参与多学科和多层次少数群体的机会健康和健康差异研究，考察社会上慢性病的差异弱势非裔美国人群体。这一目标将通过实施试点来实现提供结构化指导的研究计划（通过校内和校外指导合作），同时支持生成初步数据，随后传播结果并提交校外补助金申请。 IDC 将调整并实施既定的试点项目计划；提供用于严格研究设计和适当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源团队指导计划。这些努力是值得期待的目的是：增加 ESI 的招募、保留和晋升开展健康差异研究在中心的主题重点范围内；增加健康差异研究，为卫生政策和计划设计以减少差异。
