DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal application from Christian Brothers University (CBU) in Memphis, TN, the lead institution of the Mid-South Coalition for Minority Health International Research (MHIRT). The Mid-South Coalition includes faculty at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) and three other Universities located in Memphis: LeMoyne-Owen College, Rhodes College, and the University of Memphis. With continued funding to support the MHIRT Program, qualified students and faculty from the Mid-South Coalition will continue to be provided an opportunity to conduct research in Brazil or Uganda. This type of research has the potential to not only make a real difference in the health care of under-served populations, but also to enhance the collaborations between professionals in Brazil, Uganda, and the U.S. Previously funded projects in Uganda have investigated: 1) access to health care and utilization of microinsurance vehicles; 2) incidence of malaria as well as the promotion of the use of bed nets for malaria prevention; and client perceptions of a personal accident policy and effect on their lifestyle. Students have participated in both clinical, basic science and conservation projects in Brazil. These projects have included neuroanatomical studies of visually associated sub cortical pathways, expression of heat shock proteins as indicators of environmental pollution, and anxiety disorders. Through academic programs in their home institutions, students that have a desire for global awareness and public health issues will have an opportunity to acquire basic skills needed to conduct research and participate in a research project at an international site. Students will progress in their knowledge of research and research techniques beginning in their freshman year by participating in seminars, workshops and academic courses. During the summer between the junior and senior year, they will conduct their research at an international site. Upon returning to the U.S. students will present their research at local or national meetings. By providing students this opportunity, undergraduate minority students will gain insight into laboratory techniques, clinical procedures, literature and medical records review, and the application of basic science techniques in medical research. Students, once provided with specialized training that complements their current academic studies, will continue to succeed and will select biomedical, biobehavioral and clinical research careers that will contribute to eliminating health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是来自田纳西州孟菲斯的基督教兄弟大学（CBU）的续期申请，该大学是中南少数民族健康国际研究联盟（MHIRT）的牵头机构。中南联盟包括圣裘德儿童研究医院（SJCRH）和其他三所位于孟菲斯的大学的教师：LeMoyne-Owen学院，罗兹学院和孟菲斯大学。随着持续的资金支持MHIRT计划，合格的学生和教师从中南联盟将继续提供在巴西或乌干达进行研究的机会。这种类型的研究不仅有可能使服务不足人群的医疗保健发生真实的变化，而且还可以加强巴西、乌干达和美国专业人员之间的合作。2）疟疾发病率以及推广使用蚊帐预防疟疾;以及客户对个人事故政策的看法及其对生活方式的影响。学生们参加了巴西的临床，基础科学和保护项目。这些项目包括视觉相关的皮层下通路的神经解剖学研究，作为环境污染指标的热休克蛋白的表达，以及焦虑症。通过在他们的家乡机构的学术课程，有全球意识和公共卫生问题的愿望的学生将有机会获得所需的基本技能进行研究，并参与在国际网站的研究项目。学生将通过参加研讨会，讲习班和学术课程，从大一开始学习研究和研究技术的知识。在大三和大四之间的夏天，他们将在一个国际网站进行研究。返回美国后，学生将在当地或全国会议上展示他们的研究。通过为学生提供这个机会，本科少数民族学生将深入了解实验室技术，临床程序，文献和病历审查，以及基础科学技术在医学研究中的应用。学生，一旦提供了专门的培训，补充他们目前的学术研究，将继续取得成功，并将选择生物医学，生物行为和临床研究的职业生涯，这将有助于消除健康差距。
