Research Infrastructure In Minority Institutions(RIM):

描述（由申请人提供）：在响应研究基础设施在少数民族机构（RIMI）RFA-MD-05-004，我们建议UDC的目标是建立其护理和专职健康教师和本科生的研究能力和能力。这将通过与HU的合作努力来实现，这将强调结构化培训，指导和与经验丰富的研究人员的研究伙伴关系，并通过在提案开发和提交资金方面的“实践”经验来加强研究活动。此外，该项目的目的是建立一个环境，以便在研究活动中持续建立伙伴关系，重点是少数民族人口的健康差距。到项目期结束时，将实现以下目标：1.从护理和联合健康系确定并准备10名UDC终身教职人员进行独立研究。确定并指导4名护理和专职医疗本科生，他们表现出建立健康护理研究人员职业道路的希望。通过为教师和学生开展一系列持续的丰富活动，促进UDC的研究文化。4.将研究概念和方法注入整个护理和专职医疗课程，以消除健康问题。建立学术研究基础设施，支持与消除健康差距有关的尖端，创新的教学和研究。评估模式是一个三管齐下的方法：（1）基于目标的评估，以评估项目目标和目的达到的程度;（2）基于过程的评估，以评估项目如何运作，其有效性-确定优势和劣势;（3）以成果为基础的评估，将通过定性和定量措施确定对客户的好处，例如参与者的知识，看法，对项目的满意度。数据收集将是评价过程基线、结果、完成和项目数据元素的持续部分。数据收集程序包括：调查、访谈、期刊和焦点小组。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to the Research Infrastructure in Minority Institutions (RIMI) RFA-MD-05-004, we propose UDC's goal is to build the research capacity and capabilities of its nursing and allied health faculty and undergraduate students. This will be accomplished through a collaborative effort with HU that will emphasize structured training, mentoring, and research partnerships with experienced researchers, and enhancing research activities through "hands-on" experience in proposal development and submission for funding. In addition, the project aims to establish an environment for on-going partnerships in research activities that focus on health disparities in minority populations. By the end of the project period, the following objectives will be accomplished :1. Identify and prepare 10 UDC tenure track faculty from the Department of Nursing and Allied Health to conduct independent research.2. Identify and mentor 4 undergraduate students in nursing and allied health who demonstrate promise for establishing a career path as researchers in health disparities.3. Promote a research culture at UDC through a series of ongoing enrichment activities for faculty and students. 4. Infuse research concepts and methods across the curriculum for nursing and allied health applicable for elimination of\health disparities.5. Build an academic research infrastructure that supports cutting edge, innovative instruction and research related to the elimination of health disparities. The evaluation model is a three pronged approach: (1) goals-based evaluation to assess the extent to which the project goals and objectives were met; (2) process-based evaluation which will assess how the program operates, its effectiveness-identify strengths and weaknesses;(3)outcomes-based evaluation which will identify benefits to client in qualitative and quantitative measures e.g. participant's enhanced knowledge, perceptions, and satisfaction about the project. Data collection will be an ongoing part of the evaluation process baseline, outcome, completion and program data elements. Data collection procedures include: surveys, interviews, journals, and focus groups.
