U.S. Mexico Interdisciplinary Research Training Program

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。学生们将在暑期学院接受以下方面的教育：1)健康差异；2)文化、伦理和语言相关研究的行为，包括方法、数据管理、结果解释、伦理问题；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，获得有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 -该项目）将发展UTEP和华雷斯市自治大学（墨西哥奇瓦瓦州的UACJ）研究人员之间的合作关系，为对西班牙裔健康感兴趣的西班牙裔学生创造研究实习经验，促进可持续机制。UTEP的教师和UACJ的调查人员，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，指导有志成为健康科学研究人员的学生。该项目将成为一种催化剂，鼓励学生从事有关影响西班牙裔健康差异的变量的研究事业。该机制包括招募、选择和指导潜在的未来研究人员，使用六名成员咨询委员会和UTEP的高级教师的专家知识。该项目每年将编制一套国际研究，为学生提供参与研究的机会，以提高对西班牙裔健康差距的认识。UTEP的教师团队将通过其行政核心指导项目的使命。两个核心要素将确保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聘和指导，旨在增加少数民族健康研究人员，他们准备减少西班牙裔之间的健康差距。

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.
