Texas Minority Health, Education, Research and Outreach (Texas MiHERO)

项目摘要 德克萨斯州少数民族健康、教育、研究和外展(德克萨斯州MiHERO)的长期目标是 扩大北得克萨斯大学健康科学中心(UNTHSC)的能力以加强研究 在少数群体健康和健康差距方面进行研究培训，增加代表不足的人数 学生健康差异研究，为低年级学生提供跨学科研究和领导力培训 并增加参与健康差距研究的卫生专业教员的数量。vt.给出 对医生、内科科学家和其他卫生专业人员照顾弱势群体的巨大需求 以及迫切需要研究对这些群体造成不成比例影响的疾病和状况， 需要作出更多努力，以增加来自不同背景的个人参与 关于少数群体健康和健康差距的研究，并鼓励他们考虑从事研究和 相关字段。得克萨斯健康差异中心(TCHD)，由P20赠款资助的卓越中心 来自NIMHD的奖项将开发MiHERO计划，通过以下方式提高健康差距研究能力 增加健康差距中的博士劳动力规模，培训跨学科研究的初级教员 领导力，并为高级调查人员提供机会，以发展少数群体健康和 健康差距。将在MiHERO方案下开展三项优先活动： 优先活动1：为以下领域的初级教员制定跨学科研究领导力计划 少数民族健康与健康差距 优先活动2：建立健康教育、意识和差异研究奖学金 (希尔德学者)少数民族健康和健康领域不同教员的招聘/保留计划 差距。 优先活动3：增加生物医学、行为和临床研究队伍的多样性 通过每年从少数族裔和代表性不足的群体中招聘一批新的博士生 关注健康差距。 利用通过这一筹资机制获得的捐赠资金，我们将确保建立健全的 培训机会，鼓励拟议计划的参与者寻求研究和职业生涯 解决健康差距问题的相关领域。养老收入的影响将是 建立一个可持续的方案，解决少数群体健康和健康差距，包括健康差距 研究生课程，这是一个初级教师发展计划，可以从 其他机构，以及在以下领域开展积极研究项目的健康差距研究骨干 少数民族健康和健康差距。

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.
