Community-based participatory research (CBPR) initiatives such as the National Cancer Institute's Community Networks Program (CNP) (2005-2010) often emphasize training of junior investigators from underrepresented backgrounds to address health disparities. From July to October 2010, a convenience sample of 80 participants from the 25 CNP national sites completed our 45-item, web-based survey on the training and mentoring of junior investigators. This study assessed the academic productivity and CBPR-related experiences of the CNP junior investigators (n=37). Those from underrepresented backgrounds reported giving more presentations in non-academic settings (nine vs. four in the last 5 years, p=0.01), having more co-authored publications (eight vs. three in the last 5 years, p=0.01), and spending more time on CBPR-related activities than their non-underrepresented counterparts. Regardless of background, junior investigators shared similar levels of satisfaction with their mentors and CBPR experiences. This study provides support for the success of the CNP's training program, especially effort directed at underrepresented investigators.
基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）倡议，如美国国立癌症研究所的社区网络项目（CNP）（2005 - 2010年），通常强调对来自代表性不足背景的初级研究人员进行培训，以解决健康差异问题。2010年7月至10月，从CNP的25个全国性站点中选取了80名参与者作为便利样本，完成了我们关于初级研究人员培训和指导的45项网络调查。本研究评估了CNP初级研究人员（n = 37）的学术生产力和与CBPR相关的经历。来自代表性不足背景的人员报告称，他们在非学术场合进行的报告更多（过去5年中分别为9次和4次，p = 0.01），共同撰写的出版物更多（过去5年中分别为8篇和3篇，p = 0.01），并且在与CBPR相关的活动上花费的时间比非代表性不足的同行更多。无论背景如何，初级研究人员对其导师和CBPR经历的满意度水平相似。本研究为CNP培训项目的成功提供了支持，特别是针对代表性不足研究人员的努力。
