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）：我们建议为本科生提供一项强化暑期培训计划，以研究国际环境中的少数民族健康和健康差异。我们将从历史悠久的黑人学院佛罗里达农工大学 (FAMU)、加州大学圣地亚哥分校 (UCSD) 以及四所州立大学招收学生，这些大学的学生群体由许多弱势学生组成，他们通常没有机会在国外参与研究。此次培训合作将与杰克逊州立大学 (JSU) 进行，该大学也是一所历史悠久的黑人大学；拥有大量太平洋岛民的关岛大学 (UG)；与蒙大拿州立大学 (MSU) 相关的美洲原住民部落学院；韦恩州立大学拥有大量城市少数民族人口。选择后，学员将在加州大学圣地亚哥分校国际之家校园参加为期两周的教学课程。学生将接受有关健康差异、图书馆资源、科学方法和研究设计、跨文化医学、负责任的研究行为、研究中人类受试者的使用、统计设计和解释、以及解决健康差异和少数民族健康问题的研究生教育和职业道路等问题的讲座。听完这些讲座后，学生将前往国外实验室进行为期 10 周的假设检验和研究。我们已经确定了关于少数族裔健康和健康差异的国际研究项目，这些项目由教员与外国合作者进行，这些合作者热情支持未来潜在同事，并拥有成功指导的记录。学员将有机会参与厄瓜多尔农村环境健康、秘鲁或埃及传染病发生、台湾干细胞研究、捷克共和国心血管疾病以及墨西哥性传播疾病和药物滥用的研究。这些项目涉及社会学、心理学、人类学、流行病学、基础科学和医学等各个学科的学者。实验室休假结束后，学生将被要求在同行论坛、全国会议和同行评审的科学文献中展示他们的研究成果。最后，我们建立了一个跟踪系统来跟踪该项目及其学员在随后的学术生涯中的成功情况。
