西南跨学科研究中心研究型教育培训核心(RETC) 健康差距研究将发展下一代健康差距研究人员和 学者通过研究、培训和教育来支持中心的总体使命和研究 目标是研究和社区/外联核心，这将有助于减少和 最终消除西南边境少数民族人口之间的健康差距。这个 对早期职业教师和学生的培训将支持知识发展，以更好地理解 健康差距的社会、心理和生物决定因素以及文化的交叉点 移民和文化适应等过程对健康差距的影响。RETC将实现四个目标： 1)从墨西哥裔美国人、美国印第安人和非洲裔美国人中招收学生 适当水平的健康差距培训和教育，总体目标是制定 一群年轻学者，他们将晋升到更高水平的健康培训和教育，并成为 卫生研究人员和/或专业从业者，为目前服务不足的客户群体提供服务。2)至 利用SIRC高级教员作为高级导师，为早期职业生涯提供指导，如下所述 来自墨西哥的教师、博士后研究员、研究生和本科生- 美国人、美国印第安人和非洲裔美国人。3)提供健康差距教育和 培训，促进成员有效开展卫生研究和提供服务的文化能力 著名的西南边境的种族人口。4)在以下方面传播中心的研究成果 服务不足的社区，这既是因为它们对社区成员的健康有内在的用处，也是因为它们对社区成员的健康有内在的帮助 作为从这些社区招募新的卫生研究人员的工具。我们计划提供一份 为早期职业教师、博士后提供独特的跨学科和相互关联的教育/培训计划 研究员、研究生和本科生。该中心的高级教职员工将 作为高级导师参与指导这项研究、教育和培训。RETC的董事将 指导、协调和促进这一努力。

The Research Education and Training Core (RETC) of the Southwest Interdisciplinary Research Center for Health Disparities Research will to develop the next generation of health disparities researchers and scholars through research training and education that supports the overall mission of the Center and study aims for both the Research and Community/Outreach Cores, which are to contribute to the reduction and ultimate elimination of health disparities among the ethnic minority populations of the Southwest Border. The training of early career faculty and students will support knowledge development to better understand the social, psychological, and biological determinants of health disparities and the intersections of cultural processes such as immigration and acculturation in affecting health disparities. RETC will achieve four aims: 1) to recruit students from Mexican-American, American Indian, and African American populations into appropriate levels of health disparities training and education, with the overall objective of developing a cohort of young scholars who will advance to higher levels of health training and education and become health researchers and/or professional practitioners serving currently underserved client populations. 2) to utilize SIRC senior faculty as Senior Mentors to provide guidance as described below, to the early career faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduate students from among Mexican- American, American Indian, and African American populations. 3) to provide health disparities education and training that promotes cultural competence for effective health research and service delivery with members of the noted Southwest Border's ethnic populations. 4) to disseminate the Center's research findings within the underserved communities, both for their intrinsic usefulness for the health of community members, and as a tool for recruitment of new health researchers from within those communities. We propose to deliver a distinct interdisciplinary and interconnected education/ training programs to early career faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduate students. The senior faculty of the Center will participate as Senior Mentors in guiding this research education and training. The director of RETC will direct, coordinate, and facilitate this effort.
