DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of New Mexico (UNM) School of Medicine has a currently funded award under Section 736 for Programs of Excellence in Health Professions Education for Underrepresented Minority Individuals. Its most recent award runs to September 2004. Based on (1) the relatively small size of its endowments and (2) UNM's not being in the top 75 recipients of NIH grant awards (rank is 88), this application is for an NCMHD Endowment $21 Capacity Building Award. The endowment will be placed within the University of New Mexico Foundation, which presently exists in order to manage the University's endowment funds. Income is estimated at 5% of the corpus. The income will be used to support research on health disparities in New Mexico and the Southwest. Specifically, the income will support research identifying, describing, and analyzing health disparities among underrepresented minority populations and/or evaluating interventions designed to reduce disparities. During the project period the funds will go for assistantships for underrepresented minority health professions students and pre-professional students and will be used also to cover incidental expenses incurred in such research. The capacity created by the use of endowment income will assist the School's Institute for Public Health in advancing its mission to "Improve health status and reduce disparities for populations in New Mexico through actions and resources of the University and its partners." If there is sufficient income, it will help finance pilot studies needed for the Institute to improve its competitiveness in conducting investigational research on health disparities. It will also assist with the recruitment, support, and maintenance of minority students in the health professions and provide opportunity for mentoring relationships and for focus on issues of health disparities. It may assist with development of new endowment funds from local sources.

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥大学（UNM）医学院已根据第736条的奖项，旨在针对代表性不足的少数民族个人的卫生专业教育计划。它的最新奖项持续到2004年9月。基于（1）其捐赠规模相对较小，（2）UNM不在NIH Grant Awards的前75名获奖者（排名是88）中，此申请是NCMHD Endowment $ 21的21个能力建筑奖。捐赠将放置在新墨西哥大学基金会内，目前存在，以管理大学的捐赠基金。收入估计占语料库的5％。收入将用于支持新墨西哥州和西南部健康差异的研究。具体而言，收入将支持研究识别，描述和分析代表性不足的少数群体和/或评估旨在减少差异的干预措施之间的健康差异。在项目期间，资金将用于代表人数不足的少数民族卫生专业学生和专业学生的助学金，还将用于支付此类研究中产生的偶然费用。使用end赋收入创造的能力将有助于学校的公共卫生研究所通过大学及其合作伙伴的行动和资源来推进其“改善健康状况并减少新墨西哥州人口的差异”的使命。如果有足够的收入，它将有助于为研究所提高其对健康差异研究研究所需的竞争力所需的试点研究。它还将协助少数族裔学生在卫生职业中的招聘，支持和维护，并为指导关系和专注于健康差异问题提供机会。它可能有助于开发当地来源的新捐赠基金。
