The overarching mission of this T37 application, Career Advancement for Research in Health Equity (CARE), is to increase the pool and diversity of scientists who are committed to conducting patient-oriented research that improves not only the quality and efficiency of healthcare but also addresses the well-documented national and global inequalities in healthcare access, utilization, and outcomes. In addition to the well-documented racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare in the US, there are growing global disparities in the epidemic of non- communicable diseases in low and middle- income countries. Expanding the diversity and number of well- trained physicians and scientists working across disciplines is essential to better understand and address the impact of biology, social determinants, and other barriers to health equity nationally and globally. However, increasing the number of underrepresented minority (URM) trainees committed to careers in biomedical sciences remains a significant challenge. The proposed training program addresses a critical deficiency faced by many URM scholars committed to careers in health equity and/or global health. The program will consist of 5 interrelated components: (1) an intensive 2-month summer didactic session on healthcare/scientific research fundamentals; (2) a weekly health equity seminar series; (3) a year-long, mentored research experience; (4) opportunities for trainees pursuing global health careers to train at our NIH-funded global health research sites in Haiti, Brazil, Tanzania, and Ghana; and (5) a competitive pilot funding program to support trainee- initiated research projects aimed at addressing health disparities and/or global health issues. We propose to recruit 10 trainees (total of 50 trainees over five years) to participate in a 1 year program personalized to meet the specific needs of trainees with diverse backgrounds. Although the program will consider trainees at any stage of the academic healthcare training continuum (from medical student, to resident, to fellowship/post- doc), whenever feasible we will seek out those at the post-doctoral/medical fellow level to achieve the long- term goal of increasing the number of URM who achieve faculty positions at our institution and nationally and pursue research to improve health equity and global health. The immediate objectives of this program are to: 1) Develop and implement successful strategies to identify and recruit talented URM pre- and post-doctoral trainees across the health sciences who are committed to careers in health equity or global health research; 2) Provide trainees experience in the conduct of multidisciplinary research in health disparities and global health with seasoned mentors embedded in major academic institutions and global health research sites; and 3)Engage URM trainees in our intensive summer research training session that leverages both formal degree and non-degree institutional programs and builds methodological skills in scientific research. In summary, successful completion of this program will lead to a significant increase in diversity in academic healthcare– a goal consistent with NIH's commitment to diversify the nation's scientific workforce.

这个T37应用程序的首要使命，健康公平研究（CARE）的职业发展，是 增加致力于开展以患者为导向的研究的科学家的数量和多样性， 不仅提高了医疗保健的质量和效率，而且还解决了有据可查的国家和 全球医疗保健获取、利用和结果的不平等。除了有据可查的 在美国，医疗保健的种族/民族差异，在非传染性疾病的流行方面， 低收入和中等收入国家的传染病。扩大井的多样性和数量- 训练有素的医生和科学家跨学科工作是必不可少的，以更好地了解和解决 生物学、社会决定因素和其他障碍对国家和全球卫生公平的影响。然而，在这方面， 增加致力于生物医学职业的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学员的数量 科学仍然是一个重大挑战。拟议的培训方案解决了 许多URM学者致力于健康公平和/或全球卫生事业。该计划将包括5 相互关联的组成部分：（1）为期2个月的关于保健/科学研究的密集夏季教学课程 基本面;（2）每周一次的健康公平研讨会系列;（3）长达一年的指导研究经验;（4） 为追求全球健康事业的学员提供机会，在我们的NIH资助的全球健康研究中进行培训 在海地、巴西、坦桑尼亚和加纳的研究中心;以及（5）一个有竞争力的试点资助计划，以支持受训人员- 启动了旨在解决健康差距和/或全球健康问题的研究项目。我们建议 招募10名学员（五年内总共50名学员）参加一个为期1年的个性化计划，以满足 具有不同背景的学员的具体需求。虽然该计划将考虑学员在任何 学术医疗保健培训连续体的阶段（从医学生，居民，奖学金/后， ，我们会尽可能物色博士后/医学研究员的人选，以达致长远的目标， 增加URM谁实现教师职位在我们的机构和国家的数量， 开展研究，以改善卫生公平和全球卫生。该方案的近期目标是：1） 制定和实施成功的战略，以确定和招聘有才华的URM前和博士后 致力于健康公平或全球健康研究事业的健康科学领域的学员; 2） 向受训人员提供在健康差距和全球健康方面进行多学科研究的经验 在主要学术机构和全球健康研究中心有经验丰富的导师; 3)让URM学员参加我们的密集夏季研究培训课程，该课程利用正式学位 和非学位机构计划，并建立在科学研究的方法技能。总的来说， 该计划的成功完成将导致学术医疗保健的多样性显着增加- 这一目标与NIH致力于使国家科学劳动力多样化的承诺相一致。
