ASU-MINORITY HEALTH AND HEALTH DISPARITIES INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH TRAINING

描述（由申请人提供）：奥尔康州立大学（ASU）-少数民族健康和健康差异国际研究培训项目的目标是提供八个（六名本科生和两名研究生）ASU学生有机会在国际研究中心进行培训：维萨卡帕特南安德拉大学（Au）的四名学员，侧重于神经毒理学、生理学和民族药理学领域，在班加罗尔的圣约翰医学院（圣约翰）接受营养生理学、青少年精神病学、传染病和临床微生物学领域的培训。ASU-MHIRT计划制定了学生选拔和招聘的指导方针。这些学员将参加研究培训指导，包括审查负责任的研究行为，以更新他们的研究技术知识，并为他们在印度的工作做好准备。该计划的活动还包括培训MHIRT学员：实验研究设计，如分析和解释数据的程序以及当前科学文献和分析方法的使用;解决影响在Au和圣约翰从事科学和公共卫生研究的专业人员的文化，语言和伦理适当性问题;并将研究数据传达到演示文稿和出版物中。此外，MHIRT受训人员将得到指导和鼓励，以追求科学和医疗保健的高级研究生和专业学位课程。所有活动都将列在一份谅解备忘录中，由参与机构的行政人员签署。在编写本报告时，已有71名受训人员参加了这一方案。其中，19名学员目前就读于亚利桑那州立大学，14名在研究生院，12名获得硕士学位。学位，10名博士课程，7名在完成学士学位后寻求就业。我有一个学位，两个在药学院，两个毕业于护理学位，一个在牙科学校，一个在医学院，我获得了医学博士学位。学位，1人完成了牙科学位，1人在美国陆军服役。过去的ASU-MHIRT学员是10篇同行评审期刊文章的合著者，两篇出版的手稿，一篇被接受出版。此外，他们还在国家会议上作了55次发言（并发表了摘要）。每年将对所有活动进行评估，以确保该计划在实现其目标方面的适当性和有效性。 相关性：该项目为美国少数民族学生在印度的研究地点提供临床和生物医学科学方面的研究培训。相关性在于，这种培训将激励和准备美国学生进入研究生涯，并在消除与影响少数民族人口的疾病有关的医疗保健和研究方面的差距方面产生积极影响。美国学生将见证和体验如何在一个不同的文化环境中的人口凝聚力的工作，以实现健康相关的研究取得成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of Alcorn State University(ASU)-Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training project is to offer eight (six undergraduate and two graduate) ASU students the opportunity to train at international research sites: four trainees at Andhra University(AU) in Visakhapatnam focusing in the areas of Neurotoxicology, Physiology and Ethnopharmacology, and four trainees at St. John's Medical College (St. John's), Bangalore in the areas of Nutritional Physiology, Adolescent Psychiatrics, Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology. The ASU-MHIRT program has established guidelines for the selection and recruitment of students. These trainees will attend a research training orientation, including a review of the Responsible Conduct of Research, to refresh their knowledge of research techniques and prepare them for their work in India. The program activities also include training MHIRT trainees in: experimental research design, such as procedures for analyzing and interpreting data and the use of current scientific literature and analytical methods; addressing issues of cultural, linguistic and ethical appropriateness affecting professionals who are engaged in scientific and public health research at AU and St. John's; and communicating research data into presentations and publications. Additionally, MHIRT trainees will be mentored and encouraged to pursue advanced graduate and professional degree programs in science and health care. All activities will be listed in a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed by the executives of participating institutions. At the time of this report, 71 trainees have participated in this program. Out of these, 19 trainees are currently enrolled at ASU, 14 in graduate school, 12 earned M.S. degrees, 10 in doctoral track programs, 7 sought employment after completion of B.S. degree, 2 in pharmacy school, 2 graduated with a nursing degree, 1 enrolled in dental school, 1 enrolled in school of medicine, I earned M.D. degree, 1 completed a degree in dentistry, and 1 is in the US Army. Past ASU-MHIRT trainees are coauthors of 10 peer-reviewed journal articles, two manuscripts in press, and one accepted for publication. Additionally, they have made 55 presentations (with published abstracts) at national conferences. All activities will be evaluated each year to ensure the appropriateness and effectiveness of this program in reaching its goals. RELEVANCE: This project provides research training to U.S. minority students in clinical and biomedical sciences at research sites in India. The relevance is that this training will motivate and prepare U.S. students to enter research careers and be a positive influence in the elimination of disparities in health care and research related to diseases affecting minority populations. U.S. students will witness and experience how a population in a diverse cultural environment works cohesively to achieve success in health related research.
