Health Promotion/Risk Reduction Interventions with Vulnerable Populations

描述（由申请人提供）：密歇根大学护理学院（UMSON）有两个T32赠款与本申请密切相关：T32-NR 07073健康促进和减少风险（HPRR）干预措施（1992-2007）和T32-NR 07965妇女健康差距（WHO）（2002-2007）。在卫生组织培训方案的5年经验中，非常清楚的是，它与HPRR在弱势群体方面的联系是不可分割的。每个轨道的许多学生都参加这两个课程，两个项目支持的学员每周开会讨论共同感兴趣的主题，手稿和赠款申请。经过两个项目的教师和学生以及NINR项目工作人员的大量讨论，我们决定不提交世卫组织赠款的竞争性更新，而是提交HPRR赠款的更新，我们现在称之为健康促进/降低风险干预与弱势群体（HPPRVP）。我们使用这两个项目的数据来支持迄今为止的可行性和成就。尽管近三十年的研究重点是健康促进和降低风险战略在促进高水平健康和减缓慢性病恶化方面的重要作用，但不可接受的差距仍然存在。该计划将通过强调弱势群体，包括种族/少数民族，社会经济弱势群体以及妇女和儿童，扩大对HPRR护士科学家的研究培训。我们将在HPRR博士前和博士后培训方面建立超过15年的领导地位，并将我们多样化的专业知识与面临健康差距风险的弱势群体结合起来。这些目标跨越两个主要的NINR研究领域：促进健康和预防疾病和消除健康差异（NINR出版社）。No. 06-4832）。拟议的培训将每年为四名博士前和四名博士后受训人员提供专门的研究培训，为他们在卫生保健机构、高等院校和政府或志愿卫生保健机构的研究职业做好准备。至少有一个博士前的职位将被指定为学士学位后的学员，我们将继续我们的目标，填补至少50%的培训职位与传统上代表性不足的少数群体的成员。UMSON致力于护理科学家的快速发展，并为合格的学士后个人提供博士课程的入学机会。博士后研究员将是持有护理或相关领域博士学位的护士，在HPRRVP领域具有不同数量的研究和临床背景。目标是提供培训，以培养专门从事护理科学和HPRRVP研究的新研究人员。充足的持续教师研究专业知识和机会将指导研究员进行独立的研究，并准备提交给资助机构的提案。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Michigan School of Nursing (UMSON) had two T32 grants germane to this application: T32-NR07073 Health Promotion and Risk Reduction (HPRR) Interventions (1992-2007) and T32-NR07965 Women's Health Disparities (WHO) (2002-2007). In the 5 years' experience of the WHO training program, it has been very clear that its links with the HPRR with respect to vulnerable populations are indissoluble. Many students from each track take courses in both, and trainees supported by both programs meet weekly to discuss topics, manuscripts and grant applications of mutual interest. After considerable discussion among the faculty and students of the two programs and with NINR program staff, we decided NOT to submit a competing renewal for the WHO grant, and instead we submit a renewal for the HPRR grant, which we now call Health Promotion/Risk Reduction Interventions with Vulnerable Populations (HPPRVP). We use data from both programs to support the viability and accomplishments to date. Despite nearly three decades of research focusing on the essential role of health promotion and risk reduction strategies in advancing high level wellness and in slowing chronic disease deterioration, unacceptable disparities persist. This program will extend research training for nurse scientists in HPRR through emphasis on vulnerable populations, which include racial/ethnic minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged people, and women and children. We will build on over 15 years of leadership in pre and post-doctoral training in HPRR, and unite our diverse expertise with vulnerable populations at risk for health disparities. The goals cut across two major NINR research areas: Promoting Health and Preventing Disease and Eliminating Health Disparities (NINR Pub. No. 06-4832). The proposed training will provide specialized research training to four predoctoral and four postdoctoral trainees each year to prepare them for research careers in health care settings, institutions of higher learning, and governmental or voluntary health care settings. At least one of the predoctoral slots will be designated for post baccalaureate trainees and we will continue our goal of filling at least 50% of the training slots with members of traditionally underrepresented minority groups. UMSON is committed to rapid progression of scientists in nursing and offers admission to the doctoral program to qualified post baccalaureate individuals. Postdoctoral fellows will be nurses holding doctoral degrees in nursing or related fields, with varying amounts of research and clinical background in the area of HPRRVP. The goal is to provide training to develop new investigators who are specialized in nursing science and HPRRVP research. Ample ongoing faculty research expertise and opportunities will guide fellows in conducting an independent piece of research, and in preparing a proposal for submission to a funding agency.
