DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Given the prevalence of health disparities resulting from geographic location, income, and race/ethnicity; the lack of research on health promotion in racial and ethnic minorities; and the paucity of nurses and nurse scientists among racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S., it is critical to focus efforts on expanding the preparation of nurses and nurse scientists from minority populations and on expanding research aimed at improving health and health care. The proposed Southwest Partnership Center for Nursing Research on Health Disparities (SWPC) will focus on health disparities in rural, low-income, Mexican-American, and/or American-Indian populations. Specific aims are 1) Establish the Southwest Partnership Center for Nursing Research on Health Disparities within the formal structure of the School of Nursing at The University of Texas at Austin and the formal structure of the Department of Nursing in the minority-serving institution of New Mexico State University; 2) Build capacity for nursing research on health disparities experienced by populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian by increasing the number of nurse researchers in the two partnering institutions conducting studies within a health promotion framework; 3) Increase the number and quality of studies by nursing faculty and undergraduate and graduate students in the partnering institutions that focus on reducing or eliminating health disparities among populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian within a health promotion framework; 4) Enhance the research career development of minority nurse investigators, including undergraduate and graduate nursing students and faculty at both partnering institutions, with particular emphasis on addressing minority health and health disparities among populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian using a health promotion framework; and 5) increase the number of research projects proposed by nursing faculty and students in the partnering institutions that involve interdisciplinary collaboration and that focus on reducing health disparities among populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian within a health promotion framework.

描述（由申请人提供）：鉴于地理位置、收入和种族/民族导致的健康差异的普遍性;缺乏对少数民族和种族健康促进的研究;以及美国少数民族和种族中护士和护士科学家的缺乏，至关重要的是，要集中精力扩大少数族裔护士和护理科学家的培养，并扩大旨在改善健康和医疗保健的研究。拟议的西南合作中心护理研究健康差距（SWPC）将集中在农村，低收入，墨西哥裔美国人和/或美国印第安人人口的健康差距。具体目标是：1）在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校护理学院的正式结构和新墨西哥州州立大学少数民族服务机构护理系的正式结构内，建立西南合作中心，对健康差异进行护理研究; 2）建立能力，对农村、低收入、墨西哥裔美国人、或美洲印第安人，增加两个合作机构在健康促进框架内进行研究的护士研究人员的人数;第三章增加合作机构的护理教师、本科生和研究生的研究数量和质量，重点是减少或消除人口之间的健康差距，在健康促进框架内的农村，低收入，墨西哥裔美国人或美国印第安人; 4）加强少数民族护士调查人员的研究职业发展，包括两个合作机构的本科和研究生护理学生和教师，特别强调解决少数民族健康和农村，低收入，墨西哥裔美国人人口之间的健康差距，或美国印第安人使用健康促进框架;和5）增加合作机构中护理教师和学生提出的研究项目的数量，这些项目涉及跨学科合作，并侧重于减少农村，低收入，墨西哥裔美国人，或美国印第安人在健康促进框架内。
