Project Summary The long term objective of the Texas Minority Health, Education, Research and Outreach (Texas MiHERO) is to expand the capacity of University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) to enhance research and research training in minority health and health disparities by increasing the number of under-represented students in health disparity research, providing interdisciplinary research and leadership training to junior faculty, and increasing the number of health professional faculty involved in health disparity research. Given the substantial need for physicians, physician scientists, and other health professionals to care for vulnerable populations, and the critical need to study diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect these groups, more efforts are needed to increase the participation of individuals from diverse backgrounds in conducting research on minority health and health disparities, and encouraging them to consider careers in research and related fields. The Texas Center for Health Disparities (TCHD), a Center of Excellence funded by a P20 grant award from NIMHD will develop the MiHERO program to increase health disparity research capacity by increasing the size of the PhD workforce in health disparities, train junior faculty in interdisciplinary research leadership, and provide opportunities for senior investigators to develop research focus in minority health and health disparities. Three priority activities will be conducted under the MiHERO program:  Priority Activity 1: Develop an Interdisciplinary Research Leadership (IRL) Program for junior faculty in Minority Health and Health Disparities  Priority Activity 2: Establish a Health Education, Awareness and Research in Disparities Scholarship (HEARD Scholars) program for recruitment/retention of diverse faculty in Minority Health and Health Disparities.  Priority Activity 3: Increase the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce by recruiting a new cohort of PhD students from minority and underrepresented groups each year who focus on health disparities. Using the endowment funds secured through this mechanism of funding, we will ensure the creation of robust training opportunities that encourage participants of the proposed program to seek careers in research and related field that address the issue of health disparities. The impact of the endowment income will be establishment of a sustainable program in Minority Health and Health Disparities, including health disparity curricula for graduate students, a junior faculty development program that can be expanded to faculty from other institutions, and a cadre of health disparity researchers who have active research projects in the area of Minority Health and Health Disparities.

项目概要 德克萨斯州少数族裔健康、教育、研究和外展 (Texas MiHERO) 的长期目标是 扩大北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心 (UNTHSC) 的能力以加强研究 通过增加代表性不足的人数，对少数民族健康和健康差异进行研究培训 学生进行健康差异研究，为初级学生提供跨学科研究和领导力培训 教师队伍，并增加参与健康差异研究的卫生专业教师的数量。给定 对医生、医师科学家和其他卫生专业人员照顾弱势群体的巨大需求 人口，以及研究对这些群体造成不成比例影响的疾病和状况的迫切需要， 需要做出更多努力来增加来自不同背景的个人的参与 研究少数族裔的健康和健康差异，并鼓励他们考虑从事研究和 相关领域。德克萨斯州健康差异中心 (TCHD)，一个由 P20 赠款资助的卓越中心 NIMHD 的奖项将开发 MiHERO 计划，通过以下方式提高健康差异研究能力： 增加健康差异方面的博士队伍规模，培训跨学科研究的初级教师 领导力，并为高级研究人员提供机会，将研究重点放在少数民族健康和 健康差异。 MiHERO 计划将开展三项优先活动：  优先活动 1：为初级教师制定跨学科研究领导力 (IRL) 计划 少数族裔健康和健康差异  优先活动 2：建立健康教育、差异意识和研究奖学金 （HEARD 学者）招募/保留少数民族健康和健康领域多元化教师的计划 差异。  优先活动 3：增加生物医学、行为和临床研究人员的多样性 每年从少数族裔和代表性不足的群体中招募一批新的博士生 关注健康差异。 利用通过这一筹资机制获得的捐赠基金，我们将确保建立强有力的 鼓励拟议计划的参与者寻求研究和职业生涯的培训机会 解决健康差异问题的相关领域。养老收入的影响 制定少数民族健康和健康差异（包括健康差异）的可持续计划 研究生课程，这是一个初级教师发展计划，可以扩展到教师 其他机构以及一批在该领域开展积极研究项目的健康差距研究人员 少数民族健康和健康差异。
