Research Training/Edcuation Core

NIH呼吁增加美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）以及其他代表性不足的种族和少数民族（UREM）的代表性，作为健康和健康差异研究的调查人员。然而，很少有AIAN或UREM研究人员获得了研究者身份或获得了联邦资助。拟议的培训核心研究将通过培养一支训练有素的NIH资助的AIAN和UREM研究科学家队伍，致力于建立基于文化的研究，并能够改善印度国家的健康差距，从而为公共卫生做出贡献。研究培训和教育核心（RTEC）在未来5年的具体目标是：1）发展RTEC教师和领导，角色和培训程序，包括RTEC教师和工作人员活动的协调;建立和维护所有RTEC部门，伙伴关系和培训活动;并落实区域技术合作组织的日常作用以及政策和程序，（二）扩大和加强健康差距研究培训活动在IWRl准备AIAN和学生和教师从其他社区经历在土著健康和健康差距研究的职业生涯的健康差距，3）开发一个证书计划，在文化相关的健康差距研究，为学生，教师和社区合作伙伴提供尖端的概念模型，研究方法和道德研究实践的跨学科培训，4）传播教育和培训材料，并将其转化为面向广大科学界以及从业人员和社区成员的研究政策和实践指南，（5）评估培训目标的实现情况。该提案通过在土著健康研究所（IWRL）和华盛顿大学（UW）建立成功的以土著为中心的培训方案的基础上解决基础设施问题。RTEC将加强并积极联系这些方案，使其成为一个有凝聚力的网络。具体而言，RTEC核心将创建并容纳4个研究培训部门：（1）K-12管道计划部门;（2）本科生培训部门;（3）研究生培训部门;和（4）博士后和教师发展部门。RTEC还将开发和实施一系列新的计划和培训活动，以支持新兴的AIAN和其他UREM学者，同时还将在UW建立以本地为重点的计划的能力，以接收和留住AIAN和其他UREM学生和教师。

NIH has issued calls to increase the representation of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) and other underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (UREM) as investigators for health and health disparities research. However, few AIAN or UREM researchers have attained Investigators status or received federal funding. The proposed training Core research will contribute to the public health by developing a cadre of highly trained NIH-funded AIAN and UREM research scientists dedicated to building research that is culturally grounded and capable of ameliorating health disparities in Indian Country. The specific aims of the Research Training and Education Core (RTEC) in the next 5 years are to: 1) develop RTEC faculty and leadership, roles, and training procedures including coordination of RTEC faculty and staff activities; establishing and maintaining all RTEC Divisions, partnerships, and training activities; and operationalizing day-to-day roles of the RTEC as well as policies and procedures, 2) expand and enhance the health disparities research training activities at IWRl to prepare AIAN and students and faculty from other communities experiencing health disparities for careers in Indigenous health and health disparities research, 3) develop a certificate program in culturally relevant health disparities research that provides interdisciplinary training on cutting edge conceptual models, research methods, and ethical research practices for students, faculty, and community partners, 4) disseminate and translate educational and training materials into research policy and practice guidelines for the broader scientific community, as well as practitioners and community members, and 5) evaluate progress toward training aims. This proposal addresses infrastructure issues by building on the work of established successful Native-centered training programs at the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRl) and the University of Washington (UW). The RTEC will strengthen and actively link these programs as a cohesive network. Specifically, the RTEC core will create and house 4 research training divisions: (1) Division of K-12 Pipeline Initiatives; (2) Division of Undergraduate Training; (3) Division of Graduate Training; and (4) Division of Post-Doctoral and Faculty Development. The RTEC will also develop and implement a host of new programs and training activities to support emerging AIAN and other UREM scholars while also building the capacity of Native-focused programs at UW to receive and retain AIAN and other UREM students and faculty.
