Background: For minority researchers to become competitive for NIH R01 funding the National Institutes of Health (NIH) created several mentoring programs to increase diversity in the research workforce [1]. The evaluation of these mentoring programs is lacking regarding the impact on minority women researchers and their research collaborators. Therefore, to increase community and patient engagement in research (CPER), minority women researchers, community members, and patients need provisions for dynamic engagement (in-person and through research networks) to improve research implementation and dissemination.
Proposed Solution: We propose to provide opportunities for minority women researchers, community members, and patients to engage in …show more content…
Our long-term objective is to make CPER the standard for all research.
Activities: Minority Women Research Network (MWRN), Spirit of Eagles (SOE), Mayo Clinic, Edward Waters College, Morehouse College of Medicine and other CPER partners will develop CPER curriculum, agendas, and matrices for use in 2 regional workshops and national symposium. Two planning meetings will take place prior to each workshop, an in-person meeting after workshop 2, and 3 additional meetings to finalize the symposium. Phoenix, Arizona and Jacksonville, Florida are the locations for the workshops and Atlanta, Georgia for the symposium.
Outcomes: The main outcomes are active engagement in CPER between minority women researchers, patients and caregivers, and community through the creation of curriculum and design of facilitated discussions on CPER to increase wellness in underresourced areas. Proceedings and summaries from these meetings will lead to increased collaboration of diverse research and stakeholder teams to have the capacity and expertise to conduct …show more content…
MWRN, SOE, and CPER partners will help plan, recruit, and implement the workshops and symposium topics. This requires a collaborative process to ensure that we use a bi-directional collaborative process in order to design a platform (workshops and symposium) that yields an increase in patient-outcomes and addresses community and patient needs. Each partner’s role in the execution of these activities involves facilitation during the workshops and symposium, review of program evaluations and partnering to develop the proceedings and other dissemination
