DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-range goal of the Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) Biannual International Health Disparities Symposia is to better prepare scientists and their trainees at RCMI Institutions to address issues of health disparities through intellectual exchange, collaborative interactions, and workshops which address both fundamental and novel research skills development. This application is submitted by Meharry Medical College (MMC) in behalf of the 18 (RCMI) programs to support three RMCI Biannual International Health Symposium on Health Disparities to be convened in Nashville, TN in 2010, San Juan Puerto, Rico in 2012 and Houston Texas in 2014. Because many investigators at RCMI institutions study diseases that disproportionately affect minorities, the symposium serves the dual purpose of bringing more minority scientists into mainstream research and enhancing studies of minority health." Thus, the goals of the symposium are consistent with the goal of the RCMI program. The specific aims of the symposia are to: 1. Exchange and disseminate information by a. providing RCMI investigators and their trainees the opportunity to present research data and establish a dialogue with other RCMI investigators as well as investigators from research intensive universities; b. convening Principal Investigators/Program Directors' meetings to plan and share best practices in an effort to achieve the national RCMI program goals; 2. Conduct a series of technical workshops focusing on fundamental skills as well as novel approaches and technologies with relevance to research aimed at eliminating health disparities; 3. Publish at least two peer-reviewed supplemental editions to the Journal of Health Care for Poor and Underserved highlighting health disparities research conducted at RCMI-grantee institutions; and 4. Provide an opportunity for health care providers to obtain Continuing Medical Education Credits through the Meharry Medical College Office of Lifelong Learning, a program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).

描述（由申请人提供）：研究中心在少数民族机构（RCMI）半年国际健康差距研讨会的长期目标是更好地准备科学家和他们的受训人员在RCMI机构，以解决健康差距问题，通过智力交流，协作互动，以及研讨会，解决基础和新颖的研究技能发展。本申请由梅哈里医学院（MMC）代表18个（RCMI）项目提交，以支持将于2010年在田纳西州纳什维尔、2012年在波多黎各圣胡安和2014年在德克萨斯州休斯顿召开的三次RMCI关于健康差异的半年期国际健康研讨会。由于RCMI机构的许多研究人员研究的疾病不成比例地影响少数民族，研讨会具有双重目的，即使更多的少数民族科学家进入主流研究，并加强少数民族健康的研究。“因此，研讨会的目标与RCMI计划的目标是一致的。专题讨论会的具体目标是： 1.交流和传播信息， a.为RCMI研究人员及其受训人员提供展示研究数据的机会，并与其他RCMI研究人员以及研究密集型大学的研究人员建立对话; B.召开主要研究者/项目主任会议，以计划和分享最佳实践，努力实现国家RCMI项目目标; 2.举办一系列技术讲习班，重点是基本技能以及与旨在消除健康差距的研究有关的新方法和新技术; 3.出版至少两个同行评审的补充版本，以穷人和服务不足的卫生保健杂志，突出在RCMI赠款机构进行的健康差异研究; 4.为医疗保健提供者提供一个机会，通过终身学习的梅哈里医学院办公室获得继续医学教育学分，这是一个由继续医学教育认证理事会（ACCME）认证的项目。
