DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 18 Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) funded through the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) to enhance the research capabilities and strengthen the research environment in the biomedical and behavioral sciences in cooperative agreement with Meetings Plus Inc., seeks conference grant funding to support the biennial International Symposium on Health Disparities in years 2004, 2006 and 2008. The goal of this proposal is to enhance the research skills, scientific expertise, and facilitate collaborations of investigators and students at RCMI institutions through a series of scientific presentations and collaborative training workshops planned over a five-year period. Specifically, we plan to seek funding support for the planning, development and implementation of the Ninth International RCMI symposium on Health Disparities to be held in Baltimore, December 2004, the Tenth International RCMI symposium on Health Disparities in San Juan, Puerto Rico, December 2006 and the Eleventh International RCMI symposium on Health Disparities in Honolulu, Hawaii, December 2008. Our goal is to seek support for travel, meeting costs, advertising of the meeting, honoraria for noted scientists and Nobel Laureates who will serve as plenary speakers at these conferences and workshops, and for the publication of scientific manuscripts in refereed journals. We believe that these conferences and workshops are unique, in that they bring together minority investigators from the biomedical and behavioral sciences to engage in scientific dialog that affects health disparities and provide opportunities for minority investigators and students to interact with investigators at other RCMI institutions and with scientists, nationally and internationally. Therefore, by fulfilling the goal and objectives of this U13 cooperative agreement, the RCMI community will be better able to serve the health and well being of Americans, and thereby accomplish the congressional mandate and mission of this highly successful NIH/NCRR-sponsored/RCMI program.

描述(由申请人提供)： 18个少数民族机构研究中心(RCMI)由国家研究资源中心(NCRR)资助，与Meetings Plus Inc.达成合作协议，以增强生物医学和行为科学的研究能力和研究环境，寻求会议赠款，以支持2004、2006和2008年两年一次的健康差距国际研讨会。这项提议的目标是通过在五年期间计划的一系列科学陈述和协作培训讲习班，提高研究技能、科学专长，并促进RCMI机构的研究人员和学生之间的合作。具体地说，我们计划寻求资金支持，以规划、发展和实施将于2004年12月在巴尔的摩举行的第九届健康差距问题国际医疗保险研讨会、2006年12月在波多黎各圣胡安举行的第十届医疗卫生差距问题国际医疗保险研讨会和2008年12月在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的第十一届医疗差距问题国际医疗保险研讨会。我们的目标是为旅费、会议费用、会议广告、在这些会议和研讨会上担任全体演讲者的著名科学家和诺贝尔奖获得者的酬金以及在被引用的期刊上发表科学手稿寻求支持。我们认为，这些会议和研讨会是独一无二的，因为它们聚集了来自生物医学和行为科学的少数群体研究人员，参与影响健康差距的科学对话，并为少数群体研究人员和学生提供机会，与其他RCMI机构的研究人员以及国内和国际的科学家互动。 因此，通过实现这项U13合作协议的目标和目的，RCMI社区将能够更好地服务于美国人的健康和福祉，从而完成这一由NIH/NCRR赞助/RCMI项目非常成功的国会授权和使命。
