摘要

由美国国立卫生研究院资助的密西西比大学医学中心（UMMC）杰克逊心脏研究（JHS）成立了一个新颖的研究生培训和教育中心（GTEC），面向来自生物医学科学背景不足的博士生。UMMC GTEC通过与研究培训机构合作的心血管流行病学项目、科学指导和参与专业指导来支持学者。本文描述了该计划的起源，特点和评估结果，并讨论了可行性和补充研究培训和指导，以提高生物医学研究队伍的限制。方法采用项目评估框架来描述过程、结果和经验教训。项目毕业生的数据采用收敛并行设计进行综合。结果在2021 - 2024年间，有22名学者从UMMC GTEC毕业，他们都来自美国国家科学基金会认为在美国生物医学研究中代表性不足的群体。有证据表明，定性主题与八个定量指标之间存在趋同，以支持科学传播自我效能显著增加、职业成果预期变化不同、科学认同无显著变化的研究结果。五个调查结果在职业兴趣和导师影响方面存在分歧。5位学者（22.7 %）向同行评议期刊投稿，其中4位（80.0 %）已发表。22位学者中有15位（68.2% %）提交了在全国会议上发表的摘要。讨论在培训项目期间，同行评议出版的可行性较低，但提交已完成项目的会议摘要的可能性很高。导师们与每位学者进行了有效的合作，该项目为密西西比州下一代心血管流行病学研究人员的数量做出了积极贡献。

Outcomes and evaluation of a National Institutes of Health funded training program for doctoral students: The Jackson Heart Study Graduate Education and Training Center at the University of Mississippi Medical Center

Introduction

A novel Graduate Training and Education Center (GTEC) under the National Institutes of Health funded Jackson Heart Study (JHS) at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) was launched for doctoral students from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical sciences. UMMC GTEC supports scholars through a program in cardiovascular epidemiology with research training institutes, scientific mentoring, and participation in professional coaching. This manuscript describes the program’s origins, features, and evaluation findings, and discusses the feasibility and limits of complementary research training and mentoring to enhance the biomedical research workforce.

Methods

A program evaluation framework was used to describe the processes, outcomes, and lessons learned. Data from program graduates were synthesized using a convergent parallel design.

Results

Between 2021 – 2024, 22 scholars graduated from UMMC GTEC, all of whom were from groups characterized by the National Science Foundation as underrepresented in biomedical research in the United States. There was evidence of convergence between the qualitative themes with eight quantitative measures to support the findings of significant increases in self-efficacy for science communication, varying changes in career outcome expectations, and no significant changes in science identity. Five findings diverged on career interests and mentor influence. Five scholars (22.7 %) submitted their UMMC GTEC project manuscripts to a peer-reviewed journal, four (80.0 %) of which have been published. Fifteen of 22 scholars (68.2 %) submitted abstracts for presentation at national conferences.

Discussion

The feasibility of peer-reviewed publication during the training program was low but the submission of conference abstracts from completed projects was high. Mentors worked effectively with each scholar, and the program contributed positively to the number of next generation cardiovascular epidemiology researchers in Mississippi.

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
