DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Knowledge of both behavioral and social influences on health is essential to understanding and eliminating minority health disparities. Increasingly, social work and nursing researchers, as behavioral scientists, are contributing to knowledge on health disparities among underrepresented racial and ethnic populations. However, the number of persons from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups holding social work and nursing PhD degrees and conducting health disparities research remains relatively small. To enhance the pool of individuals from underrepresented groups (e.g. Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, Asians/Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaskan Natives) earning doctorates in behavioral sciences and health-related fields, we propose to develop new partnerships with two institutions (Eastern Michigan University and California State University-Los Angeles, a Hispanic-Serving Institution) granting terminal master's social work and nursing degrees. The overall goal of this 3-year UM Social Work/Nursing Bridges to the Doctorate Program is to provide 12 students from selected underrepresented populations in terminal masters' social work and nursing degree programs with academic preparation and skills that will facilitate transition and eventual successful completion of Ph.D. degrees emphasizing behavioral sciences and health disparities research. Specifically, we aim to recruit and enroll six students (3 students from each partner institution) in year 1; recruit and enroll six additional students (3 students from each partner institution) in year 2; establish a Summer Research Program, in-residence at the University of Michigan, with 100% participation of Bridges students; graduate 100% of enrolled Bridges students from their respective master's programs; submit PhD applications from at least 80% (n=10) of graduating Bridges master's students; enroll at least 75% (n=9) of Bridges students into a nursing or social work PhD program; and track Bridges students for 10 years post-master's degree. Successful implementation of this Bridges program will enhance the goal of the NIGMS to increase the number of students from populations disproportionately affected by health disparities who successfully complete the PhD in behavioral sciences. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Health disparities remain a serious national public health concern. The gravity of the problem of persistent health disparities is compounded by the low number of trained behavioral scientists from underrepresented minority populations that are disproportionately affected by health disparities and hold Ph.D. degrees. The overall goal of the University of Michigan Social Work/Nursing Bridges to the Doctorate Program is to increase the number of trained behavioral scientists holding Ph.D. degrees and conducting health disparities research.

描述（由申请人提供）：了解行为和社会对健康的影响对于理解和消除少数民族健康差异至关重要。越来越多的社会工作和护理研究人员，作为行为科学家，有助于知识的健康差距之间的代表性不足的种族和民族人口。然而，代表性不足的种族和族裔群体中拥有社会工作和护理博士学位并进行健康差异研究的人数仍然相对较少。增加代表性不足群体的人才库（例如黑人或非裔美国人、西班牙裔或拉丁裔人、亚洲人/夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民，以及美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民）获得行为科学和健康相关领域的博士学位，我们建议与两个机构建立新的伙伴关系（东密歇根大学和加州州立大学洛杉矶分校，一个西班牙裔服务机构）授予终端硕士社会工作和护理学位。这个为期3年的UM社会工作/护理桥梁博士学位课程的总体目标是为12名来自终端硕士社会工作和护理学位课程中代表性不足的人群的学生提供学术准备和技能，以促进过渡并最终成功完成博士学位。强调行为科学和健康差异研究的学位。具体来说，我们的目标是招收六名学生（每个合作机构3名学生）在第一年;招募和招收6名额外的学生（3名学生从每个合作机构）在第二年;建立一个夏季研究计划，在密歇根大学的住宅，与100%的桥梁学生的参与;毕业100%的注册桥梁学生从各自的硕士课程;提交博士申请从至少80%（n=10）毕业的桥梁硕士的学生;招收至少75%（n=9）的桥梁学生进入护理或社会工作博士课程;跟踪桥梁学生10年后硕士学位。成功实施这一桥梁计划将提高NIGMS的目标，以增加受健康差异影响不成比例的人口中成功完成行为科学博士学位的学生人数。 公共卫生相关性：健康差距仍然是一个严重的国家公共卫生问题。长期存在的健康差距问题的严重性由于来自代表性不足的少数群体的受过训练的行为科学家人数很少而变得更加严重，这些少数群体不成比例地受到健康差距的影响，并拥有博士学位。度密歇根大学社会工作/护理桥梁博士学位课程的总体目标是增加训练有素的行为科学家持有博士学位的数量。学位和进行健康差异研究。
