Hispanic Clinical and Translational Research Education and Career Development Program

西班牙裔临床与转化研究教育与职业发展 波多黎各大学医学院校园(HCTRECD)项目(UPR-MSC)有一个 通过支持研究增加临床和转化性研究的多样性的记录 2002年以来拉美裔美国人的职业发展。我们的计划包括正式的教学研究培训 (构成部分一)通过一个机构支持的临床和医学博士后硕士学位 翻译研究(MSc)。我们已经招募了来自多个国家的112名卫生专业人员 学科，包括医学、职业治疗、听力学、牙科医学、护理、药剂学 和心理学，以及其他。在最后一个资金周期中，该方案支持了46个同行评审 关于与西班牙裔健康有关的主题的文章，如癌症、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、糖尿病、婴儿/产妇健康和 心理健康。第一部分最合格的毕业生竞相获得额外的飞行员支持 项目通过构成部分二。我们的毕业生已经能够提交并从 NIH等K99/R00、R21和SCORE奖项。我们也有学者从 律政司和教育部除颁发试验计划奖项外， 其他普遍定期审议方案。 我们将通过我们已建立的硕士继续我们成功的第一部分学者培训计划。 以及我们的Component II计划，为那些在以下方面表现出色的学者提供高级研究技能 第一部分或已经接受过正式临床和转化性研究培训的人。我们的更新是 创新，因为它将侧重于通过持续评估该计划确定的需求：改进 方法知识和技能，并解决获得K奖的障碍。此外，我们还将 通过我们持续的计划评估来改进我们的计划。主 此次续约期的增强将是新方法方面的额外培训，加强我们的 辅导部分，以及建立K俱乐部。通过我们的具体目标1，我们将加强 通过高级方法的课程、研讨会和咨询获得研究知识 为了解决健康差距，同时通过具体目标2和3，我们将提高个性化研究技能 通过加强我们的辅导部分和建立K俱乐部来促进发展。

The Hispanic Clinical and Translational Research Education and Career Development (HCTRECD) program at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC) has a documented track record of increasing diversity in clinical and translational research by supporting research career development of Hispanics since 2002. Our program consists of formal didactic research training (Component I) through an established institutionally supported post -doctoral Master of Science in Clinical and Translational Research (MSc). We have already enrolled 112 health professionals from multiple disciplines, including medicine, occupational therapy, audiology, dental medicine, nursing, pharmacy and psychology, among others. During this last cycle of funding, the program supported 46 peer reviewed articles on topics relevant to Hispanic health such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, infant/maternal health, and mental health. The most qualified graduates from Component I compete to receive additional support for pilot projects through Component II. Our graduates have been able to submit and obtain competitive grants from NIH such as K99/R00, R21 and SCORE awards. We also have scholars who have obtained funding from the Department of Justice and Department of Education in addition to the pilot projects awards available from other UPR programs. We will continue our successful Component I program of training scholars through our established MSc as well as our Component II program to provide advanced research skills to those scholars who excel in Component I or who have already had formal clinical and translational research training. Our renewal is innovative as it will focus on the needs identified through ongoing evaluation of the program: improving methodological knowledge and skills and addressing barriers to obtaining K awards. In addition, we will enhance our program with improvements derived from our continuous program evaluation. The main enhancements of this renewal period will be additional trainings in novel methodologies, strengthening our mentoring components, and the establishment of a K club. Through our specific aim 1, we will enhance research knowledge acquisition through courses, workshops, and consultations in advanced methodologies to address health disparities while through specific aim 2 and 3 we will enhance individualized research skills development by strengthening our mentoring component and establishing a K club.
