TI  - Individual and Institutional Factors Contribute to Research Capacity Building for 
      Early-Stage Investigators from Groups Underrepresented in Biomedical Research: A 
      Qualitative Comparative Analysis.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Enhancement of diversity within the U.S. research workforce is a 
      recognized need and priority at a national level. Existing comprehensive 
      programs, such as the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) and Research 
      Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI), have the dual focus of building 
      institutional research capacity and promoting investigator self-efficacy through 
      mentoring and training. METHODS: A qualitative comparative analysis was used to 
      identify the combination of factors that explain the success and failure to 
      submit a grant proposal by investigators underrepresented in biomedical research 
      from the RCMI and non-RCMI institutions. The records of 211 participants enrolled 
      in the NRMN Strategic Empowerment Tailored for Health Equity Investigators 
      (NRMN-SETH) program were reviewed, and data for 79 early-stage, underrepresented 
      faculty investigators from RCMI (n = 23) and non-RCMI (n = 56) institutions were 
      included. RESULTS: Institutional membership (RCMI vs. non-RCMI) was used as a 
      possible predictive factor and emerged as a contributing factor for all of the 
      analyses. Access to local mentors was predictive of a successful grant submission 
      for RCMI investigators, while underrepresented investigators at non-RCMI 
      institutions who succeeded with submitting grants still lacked access to local 
      mentors. CONCLUSION: Institutional contexts contribute to the grant writing 
      experiences of investigators underrepresented in biomedical research.
