DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As emphasized in recent reports, research training of minority health professionals is a critical need nationwide. In response, the Medical Sciences Campus of the University of Puerto Rico, with NIH support (RR017589), established a successful academic program in clinical research, the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) Program. In this renewal application, our immediate goal continues to be increasing the number and quality of outstanding Hispanic clinical investigators. A long-term goal of the MSCR Program is to establish research programs that integrate clinical investigations across multiple departments, schools and research institutes in Puerto Rico and collaborations with US mainland researchers. The ultimate goal is to enhance the participation of minority health professionals in clinical and translational research that will have a significant impact on the health of the community, particularly underrepresented minorities. Specific aims of the application are to: (1) Develop the research capacity of minority health professionals through the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) Program; and (2) Facilitate successful transition of MSCR graduates to research independence. To further these aims we propose to strengthen the current program by upgrading courses to strengthen didactic training, intensifying research mentoring opportunities, and continuing to evaluate our efforts. These enhanced opportunities will ensure that scholars will participate in ongoing faculty research, research seminars, and national conferences. They will receive publication, presentation, research dissemination, and grantsmanship experiences. Research mentors, chosen from the cadre of Medical Sciences clinical investigators, are fundamental to the success of the MSCR Program. Successful clinical investigators, mainly descendents of minority populations residing in the US, are accessible for long distance mentoring. The advancement of newly-minted clinical investigators will be stimulated by providing administrative, physical, and fiscal support. This career development program is being further strengthened by fostering partnerships with the community, industry and national research-intensive institutions interested in addressing significant questions in minority health issues. The ultimate vision of this Program is to prepare a cadre of Hispanic clinical researchers that will be ideally positioned to initiate original and important clinical investigations addressing the multifactorial health disparities between minority and non-minority populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：正如最近的报告所强调的，少数民族卫生专业人员的研究培训是全国范围内的迫切需要。作为回应，波多黎各大学医学院在NIH的支持下（RR 017589），建立了一个成功的临床研究学术计划，即临床研究硕士（MSCR）计划。在这次更新申请中，我们的直接目标仍然是增加优秀西班牙裔临床研究人员的数量和质量。MSCR计划的长期目标是建立研究计划，将波多黎各的多个部门、学校和研究机构的临床研究整合起来，并与美国大陆的研究人员合作。最终目标是加强少数群体保健专业人员参与临床和转化研究，这将对社区的健康产生重大影响，特别是对代表性不足的少数群体。申请的具体目标是：（1）通过临床研究（MSCR）计划科学硕士培养少数民族卫生专业人员的研究能力;（2）促进MSCR毕业生成功过渡到研究独立。为了进一步实现这些目标，我们建议通过升级课程来加强教学培训，加强研究指导机会，并继续评估我们的努力，以加强目前的计划。这些增强的机会将确保学者将参加正在进行的教师研究，研究研讨会和全国会议。他们将收到出版物，演示文稿，研究传播，和granitarian经验。从医学科学临床研究人员中选出的研究导师是MSCR计划成功的基础。成功的临床研究者，主要是居住在美国的少数民族人口的后裔，可以获得远程指导。将通过提供行政、物质和财政支持来刺激新的临床研究者的进步。这一职业发展方案正在通过与社区、工业界和有兴趣解决少数群体健康问题的国家研究密集型机构建立伙伴关系而得到进一步加强。该计划的最终愿景是准备一批西班牙裔临床研究人员，这些研究人员将能够理想地启动原始和重要的临床研究，以解决少数民族和非少数民族人口之间的多因素健康差异。
