Abstract

PROBLEM

A goal of the Southern California Clinical and Translational Science Institute (SC-CTSI) at the University of Southern California and Children's Hospital Los Angeles is to train early-stage clinical and translational scientists (CTSs) to conduct research that improves the health of diverse communities. This goal aligns well with the Institute of Medicine's recommendations emphasizing community engagement in biomedical research that facilitates research translation. The Community Mentorship Program (CMP), created to complement community-engaged research didactics, matches CTSs with community mentors who help them identify and complete community-engaged experiences that inform their research.

APPROACH

The CMP was piloted in 2013-2015 by the SC-CTSI Workforce Development and Community Engagement cores. The CMP team matched three CTSs (assistant professors pursuing mentored career development awards) with mentors at community-based organizations (CBOs) aligned with their research interests. Each mentor-mentee pair signed a memorandum of understanding. The CMP team checked in regularly, monitoring progress and addressing challenges in CTSs' completion of their community-engaged experience.

OUTCOMES

Each pair completed at least one community-engaged activity informing the CTS's research. In exit interviews, the CTSs and CBO mentors expressed satisfaction with the program and stated that they would continue to work together. The CTSs reported that the program provided opportunities to develop networks outside academia, build trust within the community, and receive feedback and learn from individuals in communities affected by their research.

NEXT STEPS

The CMP will be expanded to include all eligible early-career CTSs and promoted for use in similar settings outside the SC-CTSI.

摘要

问题

南加州大学和洛杉矶儿童医院的南加州临床与转化科学研究所（SC-CTSI）的一个目标是培养早期临床和转化科学家（CTS），以开展改善不同社区健康状况的研究。这一目标与医学研究所强调社区参与促进研究转化的生物医学研究的建议高度契合。为补充社区参与研究教学而设立的社区指导计划（CMP），将CTS与社区导师配对，这些导师帮助他们识别并完成能为其研究提供信息的社区参与经历。

方法

CMP于2013年至2015年由SC-CTSI劳动力发展和社区参与核心进行试点。CMP团队将三名CTS（追求有指导的职业发展奖的助理教授）与与他们研究兴趣相符的社区组织（CBO）的导师配对。每对导师和学员都签署了一份谅解备忘录。CMP团队定期跟进，监测进展情况并解决CTS在完成社区参与经历过程中遇到的挑战。
