DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Montana School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences has a long standing history and commitment to the recruitment and training of minority students (principally Native American Indians) for degrees in pharmacy and physical therapy. The recently obtained Native American Center of Excellence (NACOE) grant builds on strength from funding obtained for the HHS-Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP), the NIH-Bridges to Baccalaureate Program (BRIDGES), and the NSF-EPSCoR Program to provide both the environment and the infrastructure necessary to offer degree training for under-represented minorities in pharmacy (Pharm.D.), physical therapy (M.S. and D.P.T.), and more recently in graduate education (M.S., Ph.D.). Research infrastructure has dramatically increased in the School's Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the past ten years to the point where the School is ranked 1lth of 85 schools/Colleges of Pharmacy in NIH funding per Ph.D. faculty. The Department has created two state-approved research centers and offers two M.S. and two Ph.D. programs. The primary goal of the Endowment Fund Program is to add at least two tenure track minority faculty through training and recruitment efforts, while perpetuating recent success in the recruitment, retention, and training of minority students in Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Graduate programs. Focus on minority health disparities research will continue to be expanded. These goals will be accomplished as follows: 1) creating new tenure track faculty lines for minority faculty (preferably Native American Indians), 2) Enhancing opportunities for minority students who earn the Pharm.D. or D.P.T. degree to obtain postdoctoral fellowship training in clinically relevant areas, 3) Enhancement of opportunities for minority students to pursue graduate training leading to the Ph.D. degree. 4) Perpetuation of a strong program to recruit and train undergraduate minority students, 5) Use of endowment income to leverage additional institutional/state and federal support, and 6) Progressive growth of the endowment corpus. Priorities for use of the endowment income are A) Recruitment and training of two minority PhD, students and one minority post Pharm.D. Fellow (Years 1-3) and B) Complete training and/or recruitment of two minority faculty with priority given to Native American Faculty candidates, particularly those involved in health disparities research (Years 3-5).

描述（由申请人提供）：蒙大拿大学药学和联合健康科学学院有着悠久的历史，致力于招募和培训少数族裔学生（主要是美洲原住民印第安人）以获得药学和物理治疗学位。最近获得的美国原住民卓越中心 (NACOE) 拨款建立在 HHS 健康职业机会计划 (HCOP)、NIH 学士学位桥梁计划 (BRIDGES) 和 NSF-EPSCoR 计划的资助基础上，为在药学 (药学博士)、物理治疗 (硕士和硕士) 领域为代表性不足的少数群体提供学位培训所需的环境和基础设施。 D.P.T.），以及最近的研究生教育（硕士、博士）。在过去的十年里，该学院药学系的研究基础设施得到了显着增强，在美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 为每位博士提供的资助方面，该学院在 85 所学校/药学院中排名第 1。学院。该系创建了两个国家批准的研究中心，并提供两个硕士学位。和两名博士学位。程序。捐赠基金计划的主要目标是通过培训和招聘工作增加至少两名终身教授少数族裔教师，同时延续最近在药学、物理治疗和研究生项目中招募、保留和培训少数族裔学生方面取得的成功。将继续扩大对少数族裔健康差异研究的关注。这些目标将通过以下方式实现：1）为少数族裔教师（最好是美国原住民印第安人）创建新的终身教授职位，2）增加获得药学博士学位的少数族裔学生的机会。或 D.P.T.学位以获得临床相关领域的博士后奖学金培训，3）增加少数族裔学生接受研究生培训以获得博士学位的机会。程度。 4) 持续实施一项强有力的计划来招收和培训本科少数族裔学生， 5) 利用捐赠收入来利用额外的机构/州和联邦支持，以及 6) 捐赠基金的逐步增长。使用捐赠收入的优先事项是 A) 招募和培训两名少数族裔博士、学生和一名少数族裔药学博士后。研究员（1-3年级）和B）完成两名少数族裔教职人员的培训和/或招聘，优先考虑美国原住民教职人员候选人，特别是那些参与健康差异研究的人员（3-5年级）。
