The Research to Reduce Disparities in Disease (R2D2)

心血管疾病中种族、民族和社会经济差异似乎一成不变的存在 是有问题的。医生为病人治病，对国民健康起着重要作用。公共卫生 通过关注人群健康来补充医学。一些人争辩说，公共卫生和医学正在进入 方向相反，但这是错误的二分法。尽管在研究上花费了数十亿美元， 已发表的研究表明，为什么在高血压等心血管疾病中存在种族和民族差异，目前尚无共识 都没有减少。我们寻求从团体中培养新一代医学生 在医学上代表性不足，以通过结合 最好的医学和公共卫生。这项提议的目的是创造一个为期两个夏天的发展 名为“减少疾病差异的研究”(R2D2)的研究计划。R2D2计划寻求 在密歇根州立大学人类学院培养医学生的“动手”研究技能 医学(MSU-CHM)。它将培训医学生进行基于社区的翻译研究 心血管疾病的健康差距。其使命是创建一个研究教育项目，使密歇根州立大学-中国管理学院 医学生在研究型住院医师项目中更具竞争力。具体目标是：(1) 实施和评估为期两个暑期、以社区为基础的发展性公共卫生研究教育 为不同种族和民族的医学生群体提供的课程。(2)打造两个新的暑期《动手》 研究方法课，以提高医学生的实际研究技能。(三)招录选拔 每年7名医学生，到第二年“增加”到14名学生 在第二年至第五年期间，总共维持14名学生的助学金。(4)培养精选的学生 基于社区的研究方法，包括数据的收集、录入、管理和分析 作为有效的数据呈现和可视化。(5)将每个学生与一位资助的教师导师配对，后者将 在为期两个月的基于社区的研究项目中指导学生，该项目将在一篇论文中达到高潮 已提交供出版。医学和公共卫生是天然的盟友。然而，它们并不总是有效的 最好是在一起。培训和视角方面的专业差异导致了一种错误的印象，即 公共卫生专业人员只在“上游”从事预防工作，而医生只关心 “下游”的病人护理。R2D2将为医学生进行跨学科研究做好准备 需要在心血管疾病方面实现健康公平。我们的目标是培养会搭桥的医学生 医学和公共卫生之间的界限。R2D2医学生将有望为世界带来 生物医学和心理社会公共卫生世界结合在一起，将生物学带入社区和 社区进入诊所。

The seemingly immutable existence of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular disease is problematic. Medical doctors play an important role in the nation's health by treating the sick. Public health complements medicine by focusing on population health. Some argue that public health and medicine move in opposite directions but this is a false dichotomy. Despite billions of dollars spent on research and volumes of published studies, there is no consensus on why racial and ethnic disparities in CVDs such as hypertension have not been reduced. We seek to prepare a new generation of medical students from groups underrepresented in medicine to address CVD disparities through transdisciplinary research that combines the best of medicine and public health. The purpose of this proposal is to create a two-summer, developmental research program titled, The Research to Reduce Disparities in Disease (R2D2). The R2D2 program seeks to develop “hands-on” research skills of medical students at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (MSU-CHM). It will train medical students to conduct community-based translational research on CVD health disparities. The mission is to create a research education program that will make MSU-CHM medical students more competitive for research-oriented residency programs. The Specific Aims are to: (1) Implement and evaluate a two-summer, developmental community-based public health research education program for a racially and ethnically diverse group of medical students. (2) Create two new summer “hands-on” research methods classes to increase practical research skills among medical students. (3) Recruit and select seven medical students each year, “ramping up” to 14 students in the program by the second year and maintain a total of 14 students in years two through five of the grant. (4) Train the selected students in community-based research methods, including the collection, entry, management, and analysis of data, as well as effective data presentation and visualization. (5) Pair each student with a funded faculty mentor who will supervise the student within a two-month community-based research project that will culminate in a paper submitted for publication. Medicine and public health are natural allies. However, they do not always work optimally together. Professional differences in training and perspectives have led to a false impression that public health professionals only work “upstream” on prevention while physicians are only concerned with “downstream” patient care. R2D2 will prepare medical students to conduct the transdisciplinary research needed to achieve health equity in cardiovascular diseases. We aim to train medical students who will bridge the boundary between medicine and public health. R2D2 medical students will hopefully, can bring the world of biomedicine and the world of psychosocial public health together, bringing biology into the community and the community into the clinic.
