DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) proposes to offer short-term international health disparities research educational opportunities for Hispanic undergraduate and graduate students. The students will be provided a Summer Institute in which they will receive education regarding: 1) health disparities, 2) the conduct of culturally, ethically, and linguistically relevant research including methodologies, data management, interpretation of results, ethical issues, and 3) a supervised international research experience working in collaboration with UTEP investigators and researchers located in Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, Mexico. The U.S.-Mexico Border Interdisciplinary Research Training Project (USMBIRTP-the Project) will develop a collaborative relationship between UTEP and Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez, (UACJ in Chihuahua, Mexico) researchers that will foster sustainable mechanisms for creating research practicum experiences for Hispanic students interested in Hispanic health. UTEP faculty and the UACJ investigators, as well as other investigators from Ciudad Juarez, have a history of collaboration. The USMBIRTP will mentor students aspiring to be health science researchers through institutional role modeling, scientific working groups, support of institutional research advocates, and support for gaining research competencies. The Project will serve as a catalyst to encourage students to pursue research careers concerning the variables affecting Hispanic health disparities. The mechanism includes the recruitment, selection, and mentoring of potential future researchers using the expert knowledge of a six member Advisory Committee and senior faculty at UTEP. The Project will knit a set of international studies each year of the grant to provide the students the opportunity to participate in research that advances the state of the knowledge about Hispanic health disparities. A team of UTEP faculty will guide the mission of the Project through its administrative core. Two core elements will ensure the success of the Project and carry out the specific aims. Administrative Core and Research Mentoring Core activities will support the recruitment and mentoring of student health researchers aimed at increasing minority health researchers who are prepared to reduce health disparities among Hispanics.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校 (UTEP) 提议为西班牙裔本科生和研究生提供短期国际健康差异研究教育机会。学生将参加暑期学院，在那里他们将接受以下方面的教育：1）健康差异，2）进行文化、伦理和语言相关的研究，包括方法、数据管理、结果解释、伦理问题，以及3）与位于墨西哥奇瓦瓦州华雷斯城的 UTEP 调查人员和研究人员合作的受监督的国际研究经验。美国-墨西哥边境跨学科研究培训项目（USMBIRTP-项目）将在 UTEP 和华雷斯自治大学（墨西哥奇瓦瓦市的 UACJ）研究人员之间建立合作关系，这将促进可持续的机制，为对西班牙裔健康感兴趣的西班牙裔学生创造研究实践经验。 UTEP 教员和 UACJ 调查人员以及华雷斯城的其他调查人员有着合作的历史。 USMBIRTP 将通过机构角色建模、科学工作组、机构研究倡导者的支持以及获得研究能力的支持来指导有志成为健康科学研究人员的学生。该项目将作为催化剂，鼓励学生从事有关影响西班牙裔健康差异的变量的研究职业。该机制包括利用六名成员咨询委员会和 UTEP 高级教师的专业知识来招募、选拔和指导潜在的未来研究人员。该项目将每年资助一系列国际研究，为学生提供参与研究的机会，以增进对西班牙裔健康差异的了解。 UTEP 教职员工团队将通过其行政核心指导该项目的使命。两个核心要素将确保该项目的成功并实现具体目标。 行政核心和研究指导核心活动将支持学生健康研究人员的招募和指导，旨在增加准备减少西班牙裔健康差距的少数族裔健康研究人员。
