DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of New Mexico (UNM) is currently funded under Section 736 for Programs of Excellence in Health Professions Education for Underrepresented Minority Individuals. The most recent award runs through September, 2005, with a three-year renewal proposal pending and expected to be funded. UNM is an eligible applicant for an NCMHD Endowment S21 Capacity Building Award. The UNM has the only medical school in New Mexico. There is no school of public health in the state. In its most recent Strategic Plan, the Dean of the School of Medicine has reaffirmed as a priority the School's commitment to address chronic health problems and persistent disparities among its racial and ethnic minority and lower income populations. To address these issues, the Dean has created a new Institute for Public Health to coordinate, promote, and enhance school-wide research directed toward this end. The Endowment will support this effort of the Institute. The Endowment will be placed within the University of New Mexico Foundation, which exists principally to manage the University's endowment funds. The Endowment's corpus will be maintained permanently. Income from the Endowment is estimated to average 5% of the corpus per fiscal year. Income distributions will be managed through the Institute for Public Health to support research directed at health disparities, identifying, describing, analyzing, and understanding disparities among under represented minority populations, particularly in its Hispanic and Native American populations, and evaluating interventions designed to reduce disparities. Endowment earnings will support core administrative and research infrastructures, pilot projects for junior faculty to prepare for research related to health disparities, student research projects, and assistance for faculty preparing proposals for fully developed research projects.

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥大学（UNM）目前是根据第736条的资助，用于卫生专业教育卓越计划，以供代表人数不足的少数民族个人。最近的奖项持续到2005年9月，尚待为期三年的续签提案，并预计将获得资助。 UNM是NCMHD Endowment S21能力建筑奖的合格申请人。 UNM是新墨西哥州唯一的医学院。该州没有公共卫生。在其最新的战略计划中，医学院的院长重申了该学院致力于解决慢性健康问题和持续差异以及其种族和族裔少数群体和较低收入人口的承诺。为了解决这些问题，院长创建了一个新的公共卫生研究所，以协调，促进和增强针对这一目标的学校范围内的研究。捐赠将支持研究所的这一努力。 捐赠将放置在新墨西哥大学基金会内，该基金会主要是为了管理大学的捐赠基金。捐赠基金的语料库将被永久维护。捐赠基金的收入估计为平均每财年的语料库的5％。收入分配将通过公共卫生研究所进行管理，以支持针对健康差异的研究，识别，描述，分析和理解代表的少数群体之间的差异，尤其是在其西班牙裔和美洲原住民人群中，并评估旨在减少差距的干预措施。 end赋的收入将支持核心行政和研究基础设施，初级教师的试点项目，以准备与健康差异，学生研究项目有关的研究，以及为教师为全面发展的研究项目准备建议的援助。
