DESCRIPTION (Provided by the Applicant): This application seeks a competitive continuation of the Minority Research Infrastructure Support Program (M-RISP) grant awarded to Howard University by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Howard's first M-RISP grant was used to develop and expand the University's capability to conduct health services research (HSR) and outcomes research; the Center for Minority Health Services Research (CMHSR) was developed with the first M-RISP grant. With CMHSR leadership, more faculty of the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Health Sciences are becoming involved in HSR, the number of HSR projects underway is increasing, as is the number of publications by involved faculty. However, the need for health services research in underserved minority populations is becoming steadily more critical. This application for continuation of AHRQ M-RISP funding seeks to continue expansion of health services research in minority populations through the provision of training opportunities for junior minority investigators and graduate students. Howard's Center for Minority Health Services Research (CMHSR) will expand its collaboration with other Schools and Colleges at Howard, and with appropriate Research Centers and Institutes located elsewhere; CMHSR will continue to develop and to provide significant HSR workshops and seminars. Key to the ongoing development of HSR specialists will be the hiring of a full-time biostatistician at Howard and a Biostatistical Unit at the Center. The CMHSR plans to support small pilot HSR projects for mentored junior investigators; these small projects will, hopefully, lead to larger funded projects. Key in the implementation and development of a health services research program at Howard University is the establishment of a successful mentorship program and the provision of training opportunities for junior researchers. These training opportunities will enable young scholars to serve as co-investigators on CMHSR-supported Individual Research Projects. These research projects, conducted by minority junior faculty researchers, are important to the future of Howard University's HSR program targeting minority populations. The Principal Investigator will have prime responsibility for development and implementation of policies and procedures, and execution of all requirements of the grant as specified by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The Center, including the Scientific Advisory Board, will provide oversight and enhancement of Howard University's health services research infrastructure, and will also develop new projects, identify potential future investigators and will maintain its focus on the attainment of this grant's goals and objectives.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求医疗保健研究和质量机构 (AHRQ) 授予霍华德大学的少数族裔研究基础设施支持计划 (M-RISP) 拨款的竞争性延续。 霍华德的第一笔 M-RISP 拨款用于发展和扩大大学进行卫生服务研究 (HSR) 和结果研究的能力；少数族裔健康服务研究中心 (CMHSR) 是利用第一笔 M-RISP 拨款建立的。 在 CMHSR 的领导下，药学院、护理学院和联合健康科学学院越来越多的教职员工参与 HSR，正在进行的 HSR 项目数量不断增加，参与教职人员发表的出版物数量也在增加。 然而，对服务不足的少数群体进行卫生服务研究的需求正变得越来越迫切。 这项继续 AHRQ M-RISP 资助的申请旨在通过为初级少数族裔调查员和研究生提供培训机会，继续扩大少数族裔人口的卫生服务研究。 霍华德少数民族健康服务研究中心（CMHSR）将扩大与霍华德其他学校和学院以及其他地方适当的研究中心和研究所的合作； CMHSR 将继续开发并提供重要的高铁研讨会和研讨会。 HSR 专家持续发展的关键是在霍华德聘请一名全职生物统计学家并在该中心设立一个生物统计部门。 CMHSR 计划支持针对受指导的初级研究人员的小型高铁试点项目；这些小项目有望促成更大的资助项目。 霍华德大学实施和发展卫生服务研究计划的关键是建立成功的导师计划并为初级研究人员提供培训机会。 这些培训机会将使年轻学者能够担任 CHSR 支持的个人研究项目的联合研究员。 这些由少数族裔初级教职人员研究人员进行的研究项目对于霍华德大学针对少数族裔人口的 HSR 计划的未来非常重要。 首席研究员将主要负责制定和实施政策和程序，以及执行医疗保健研究和质量机构 (AHRQ) 规定的所有拨款要求。 该中心，包括科学咨询委员会，将为霍华德大学的卫生服务研究基础设施提供监督和加强，还将开发新项目，确定未来潜在的研究人员，并将继续关注实现这笔赠款的目的和目标。
