DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose an intensive summer training program for undergraduate students in research on Minority Health and Health Disparities in an international setting. We will recruit students from Florida A&M University (FAMU), a historically Black college, the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and also from four state universities whose student population is composed of many disadvantaged students who would normally not have an opportunity to participate in research in a foreign venue. This training collaboration will be conducted with Jackson State University (JSU), also an historically Black college; the University of Guam (UG) that has a large percentage of Pacific Islanders; the Native American tribal colleges associated with Montana State University (MSU); and Wayne State University that has a large urban, minority population. Following their selection, the trainees will participate in a two-week didactic course on the campus of the International House at UCSD. Students will receive talks on issues in health disparity, library resources, scientific methodologies and research design, cross-cultural medicine, the responsible conduct of research, the use of human subjects in research, statistical design and interpretation, and graduate education and career paths that address health disparities and minority health. Following these lectures, students will depart for 10 weeks of hypothesis testing and research in the foreign laboratories. We have identified international research projects in minority health and health disparities being conducted by faculty with foreign collaborators who enthusiastically support, and have a track record of, successful mentorship of potential future colleagues. Trainees will have an opportunity to participate in studies in environmental health in rural Ecuador, infectious disease occurrence in either Peru or Egypt, stem cell research in Taiwan, cardiovascular diseases in the Czech Republic, and sexually transmitted diseases and drug abuse in Mexico. These projects involve scholars from various disciplines including sociology, psychology, anthropology, epidemiology, the basic sciences, and medicine. Following completion of the laboratory sabbatical, students will be expected to present their research at a forum of peers, at a national meeting, and in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Finally, we have in place a tracking system to follow the success of this program and its trainees over the course of their subsequent academic careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们为国际环境中的少数族裔健康和健康差异研究提供了一项针对本科生研究的强化夏季培训计划。我们将招募来自佛罗里达州A＆M大学（FAMU）的学生，一所历史悠久的黑人学院，加利福尼亚大学，圣地亚哥大学（UCSD），也来自四个州立大学的学生，他们的学生群体由许多弱势学生组成，他们通常没有机会参加外国地区的研究。这项培训合作将与杰克逊州立大学（JSU）一起进行，这是一所历史悠久的黑人学院。关岛大学（UG）拥有很大一部分太平洋岛民；与蒙大拿州立大学（MSU）相关的美国原住民部落学院；韦恩州立大学的城市，少数人口。选择之后，学员将参加UCSD国际大厦校园的两周教学课程。学生将收到有关健康差异，图书馆资源，科学方法论和研究设计，跨文化医学，负责任的研究，人类受试者在研究中的使用，统计设计和解释以及研究生教育以及解决健康差异和少数族裔健康的职业道路的问题。在这些讲座之后，学生将在外国实验室进行10周的假设检验和研究。我们已经确定了教师与外国合作者进行的有关少数族裔健康和健康差异的国际研究项目，他们热情地支持了潜在的未来同事的成功指导。学员将有机会参加厄瓜多尔农村地区环境健康研究，秘鲁或埃及的传染病，台湾的干细胞研究，捷克共和国的心血管疾病以及墨西哥的性传播疾病和药物滥用。这些项目涉及来自各个学科的学者，包括社会学，心理学，人类学，流行病学，基础科学和医学。在实验室放假完成后，将有望在同行论坛，全国会议和同行评审的科学文献中介绍他们的研究。最后，我们建立了一个跟踪系统，可以在随后的学术职业中遵循该计划及其受训者的成功。
