Significant disparities exist in key health indicators between minority and white populations, including oral health. The uniquely qualified consortium of NYU CD, U. Puerto Rico SD, Howard U. CD and Tuskegee U. will launch a research training program that addresses the under-representation of Blacks and Hispanics in the field of dentistry. Blacks and Hispanics have more untreated oral disease than the population as a whole, and are significantly under-represented in the dental field, as both dentists and dental faculty. While many factors underlie the disparity in representation of minorities, the efficacy of the health care delivery improves when the provider and patient have concordance of racial/ethnic background. There are no simple solutions for resolving the under-representation in the dental profession, or the burden of healthcare problems carried by minorities. Targeted recruitment, training and retention of minorities in healthcare professions and research are critical points in resolving this dilemma. A major initiative of the Health Disparities Plan of the NIDCR and Surgeon General is to enhance research capacity. The summer research program of this proposal will provide minority students with intensive mentoring and the opportunity to become involved in research early in their dental education. One long-term goal of this proposal is to encourage these minority students to enter academia. Increased representation of minorities in faculty positions, by exposure to research and intensive mentoring, should increase the number of role models, and positively impact the candidate pool of under-represented minorities. This proposal hopes to initiate an expanding, steadily increasing source of minorities as dental faculty, until parity is attained. The specific aims are: 1. to encourage, foster and develop research interests in minority dental students by direct involvement in research projects. 2. to provide career development information, guidance and counseling to minority dental students interested in academic research careers through mentoring and seminars. 3. to actively contribute to increasing the number of minority dentists selecting academic and research careers by experience and mentoring. 4. to develop a network of partnerships with a variety of universities and colleges to ensure a high-quality pool of minority applicants annually. 5. to develop the research mentoring potential of faculty at the dental schools at the University of Puerto Rico and Howard University. Fulfillment of these aims will facilitate attaining racial/ethnic parity in the profession of dentistry, and specifically within the subcommunity of academic/research dentists.

少数民族和白色人口之间的主要健康指标存在重大差异，包括口腔健康。唯一合格的财团纽约大学CD，U。波多黎各SD，霍华德U。CD和塔斯基吉大学。将启动一项研究培训计划，解决黑人和西班牙裔在牙科领域代表性不足的问题。黑人和西班牙裔有更多的未经治疗的口腔疾病比人口作为一个整体，并显着不足，在牙科领域，作为牙医和牙科教师。虽然造成少数群体代表性差异的因素很多，但提供保健服务的效率 当提供者和患者的种族/民族背景一致时，改善。没有简单的解决方案来解决牙科专业的代表性不足，或少数民族所承担的医疗保健问题的负担。有针对性地招聘、培训和留住少数群体从事保健专业和研究工作是解决这一困境的关键。国家疾病控制和康复研究所和卫生局局长的健康差距计划的一项主要举措是加强研究能力。该提案的暑期研究计划将为少数民族学生提供密集的指导，并有机会在牙科教育早期参与研究。这项提案的一个长期目标是鼓励这些少数民族学生进入学术界。通过接触研究和强化辅导，增加少数群体在教师职位中的代表性，应能增加榜样的数量，并对代表性不足的少数群体的候选人库产生积极影响。该提案希望发起一项 不断扩大和稳步增加少数民族作为牙科教师的来源，直到实现平等。具体目标是：1.通过直接参与研究项目，鼓励，培养和发展少数民族牙科学生的研究兴趣。2.通过指导和研讨会，为对学术研究职业感兴趣的少数民族牙科学生提供职业发展信息、指导和咨询。3.通过经验和指导，积极促进更多少数民族牙医选择学术和研究职业。4.与各类大学和学院建立伙伴关系网络，以确保每年有高质量的少数群体申请者。5.开发研究指导潜力 在波多黎各大学和霍华德大学的牙科学校任教。实现这些目标将有助于在牙科专业中实现种族/民族平等，特别是在学术/研究牙医的亚社区中。
