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。作为行为科学家，社会工作和护理研究人员越来越多地为了解代表性不足的种族和族裔人口之间的健康差异做出贡献。然而，来自代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的持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。为了增加来自代表性不足的群体（如黑人或非裔美国人、西班牙裔或拉丁裔、亚洲人/夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民、美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民）在行为科学和健康相关领域获得博士学位的人数，我们建议与两个机构（东密歇根大学和加州州立大学洛杉矶分校）建立新的伙伴关系，（西班牙裔服务机构）授予社会工作和护理硕士学位。这个为期3年的澳大社会工作/护理博士衔接课程的总体目标是为12名从未被充分代表的人群中挑选出来的学生提供社会工作和护理硕士学位课程的学术准备和技能，以促进过渡并最终成功完成强调行为科学和健康差异研究的博士学位。具体来说，我们的目标是在第一年招收6名学生（每个合作院校3名学生）；在第二学年招收6名学生（每个合作院校3名学生）；建立一个夏季研究项目，在密歇根大学住校，100%由桥梁项目的学生参与；100%的桥梁学院学生从各自的硕士项目毕业；至少80% （n=10）的桥梁硕士毕业生提交博士学位申请；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；并在硕士毕业后对bridge学生进行10年的跟踪。这一桥梁项目的成功实施将促进NIGMS的目标，即增加受健康差异影响严重的人群中成功完成行为科学博士学位的学生人数。
