DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is in response to RFA-NR-004, Nursing Partnership Centers on Health Disparities, linking the Schools of Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Puerto Rico (UPR). The goal of this work is to enhance the knowledge base for nursing care in order to improve the quality of lives of people living with and affected by HIV disease. The long-term goal of the Center is to ensure the independence of the partnering Minority Serving Institution (MSI), namely the University of Puerto Rico, School of Nursing. The groups most affected with new cases of HIV/AIDS are racial/ethnic minorities, women, and the poor -the very groups, which have less access to health care services. The San Francisco Bay Area and the Island of Puerto Rico are among the geographic areas that have the highest per capita incidence of HIV/AIDS in the United States. At the UCSF School of Nursing there exists a strong interest in and a critical mass of investigators studying HIV/AIDS in minorities, women, and the poor. And, there is a cadre of faculty from the School of Nursing, University of Puerto Rico, likewise interested in HIV/AIDS research and an environment conducive to research development and training. This application proposes to establish the Nursing Research Center on HIV/AIDS Health Disparities to achieve the following aims: (1) to expand the number of nurse researchers involved in research on HIV/AIDS health disparities; (2) to increase the number of research projects aimed at reducing health disparities in HIV disease; and, (3) to enhance the career development of minority nurse investigators.

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请是对RFA-NR-004的响应，该中心是关于健康差距的护理伙伴中心，将加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)的护理学院与波多黎各大学(UPR)联系起来。这项工作的目标是加强护理知识基础，以改善艾滋病毒携带者和受艾滋病毒影响者的生活质量。该中心的长期目标是确保伙伴关系少数民族服务机构(MSI)，即波多黎各大学护理学院的独立性。受艾滋病毒/艾滋病新病例影响最大的群体是少数族裔、妇女和穷人--这些群体获得保健服务的机会较少。旧金山湾区和波多黎各是美国人均艾滋病毒/艾滋病发病率最高的地理区域。加州大学旧金山分校护理学院对研究少数民族、妇女和穷人中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病有着浓厚的兴趣和足够多的研究人员。此外，波多黎各大学护理学院的一名教员也同样对艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究和有利于研究发展和培训的环境感兴趣。本申请建议建立艾滋病毒/艾滋病健康差距护理研究中心，以实现以下目标：(1)扩大参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病健康差距研究的护士研究人员数量；(2)增加旨在减少艾滋病毒疾病健康差距的研究项目；(3)加强少数族裔护士调查人员的职业发展。
