DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-range goal of activities at Meharry supported by NIMHD Endowment Program for Increasing Research and Resources Capacity is to develop a research capacity and infrastructure supportive of basic, translational, clinical and community-based research focused on eliminating health disparities. One of the acknowledged gaps in the nation's ability make significant inroads toward eliminated minority health disparities is the absence of a critical mass of clinician (physician and dental) scientists. Current trends in NIH funding suggest that scientists most likely to be recruited and retained in clinical research and subsequently obtain NIH funding are dual degree (M.D. /Ph.D. or D.D.S. /Ph.D.) recipients. Therefore the objective of the current application to endow highly integrated initiatives that will positively impact the above national priorities by 1) diversifying the future manpower in science; 2) increasing the number of physician- or dental-scientists; and 3) improving the written and oral communications skills of trainees (pre- and post-doctoral), particularly M.D./Ph.D. and D.D.S/Ph.D. students, and faculty investigators. It is widely known that communications skills in reading, writing and speaking clearly are crucial to scientific We plan to accomplish the goals of this application by pursuing the following two specific aims: 1. To expand and strengthen M.D./Ph.D. training and initiate a D.D.S./Ph.D. program at MMC; and 2. To develop an Office for Enhancing Scientific Communicating. This project will be a college-wide collaboration among the MMC School of Dentistry, the School of Graduate Studies and Research, the School of Medicine and the Office for Research. MMC is uniquely poised to execute this project given its long and successful history in training minority dentists, physicians and biomedical scientist MMC is a designated health professional School under the category of Certain Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will establish an innovative model for dual degree (M.D./Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D.) training of underrepresented minorities. It is predicted that such individuals will make a significant contribution to translational and clinical research in the futue and positively impact the nationwide priority of eliminating health disparities.

描述(由申请人提供)：由NIMHD Endowment Program for Increating Research and Resources Capacity支持的Meharry活动的长期目标是发展研究能力和基础设施，支持以消除健康差距为重点的基础、翻译、临床和社区研究。公认的国家能力差距之一在消除少数族裔健康差距方面取得了重大进展 缺乏足够数量的临床医生(内科和牙科)科学家。当前的趋势是 NIH的资助表明，最有可能在临床研究中被招募和保留并随后获得NIH资助的科学家是双学位(医学博士/博士或博士/博士)。收件人。因此，当前申请的目标是赋予高度综合的倡议，这些倡议将通过以下方式对上述国家优先事项产生积极影响：1)使未来的科学人力多样化； 2)增加内科或牙科科学家的数量；3)提高书面和口头能力 学员(博士前和博士后)的沟通技能，特别是医学博士/博士和博士/博士学生以及教职调查人员的沟通技能。众所周知，清晰的阅读、写作和口语交流技能对科学研究至关重要。我们计划实现以下目标 这项申请通过追求以下两个具体目标来实现：1.扩大和加强医学博士/博士培训，并在MMC启动博士/博士项目；2.建立加强科学交流办公室。这个项目将是MMC牙科学院、研究生研究学院、医学院和研究办公室之间在整个大学范围内的合作。鉴于其在培训少数族裔牙医、内科医生和生物医学科学家方面的悠久和成功的历史，MMC是唯一准备实施该项目的机构，MMC是一所指定的健康专业学校，隶属于某些历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)。 公共卫生相关性：该项目将建立双学位(医学/博士和医学/博士)的创新模式。对代表性不足的少数民族进行培训。据预测，这些人将在未来为翻译和临床研究做出重大贡献，并对消除健康差距的全国优先事项产生积极影响。
