PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The N-PATHS (Nursing Program for Advancing Training in Health and Social Determinants) program is a comprehensive and immersive research training program consisting of three main components, 1) in-person intensive and 2) monthly learning modules (asynchronous) and webinars (synchronous), and 3) mentorship (i.e., mentored-research experiences). The goal of the program is to bring together nurse scientists and allied scientists for collaboration and learning experiences to improve their understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH) concepts and methodology and acquire skills to conduct and disseminate SDOH and health equity research. The overall objectives of the program are to: 1) Enhance participant knowledge and understanding of SDOH frameworks and concepts, 2) Strengthen participant’s capacity and skills to apply SDOH concepts in the design, analysis, dissemination, and implementation of research, 3) Expand the volume and quality of nurse-led research focused on health equity and SDOH through dissemination of research findings. This 10-month program begins with an in-person intensive to foster relationships and connection to facilitate learning from diverse perspectives. Then, participants will engage in monthly webinars and mentorship (synchronous) and online self-paced learning modules (asynchronous) to facilitate further knowledge acquisition in SDOH concepts and skill development in research through mentored-research experiences. This program is designed for nurse scientists – those with a degree in nursing – and scientists in aligned professions, who are interested in conducting SDOH research. Program curriculum will be developed by the program faculty and reviewed by an advisory committee, who will provide feedback on program processes and content. The proposed timeline for N-PATHS includes curriculum and website development along with recruitment of participants in year 1 and then dissemination of the N-PATHS research training program in years 2 & 3.
