DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Elizabeth City State University Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training (E-MHIRT) Program provides opportunities for undergraduate students from US health disparities populations to conduct research in (i) drug discovery to combat such health disparity diseases as prostate cancer and diabetes and (ii) psycho-socio-behavioral research to identify risk factors for type II diabetes, a disease that disproportionately affects minorities in the USA. Selected honor students are members of US health disparities populations, majoring in biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, sociology and social work. They will spend 10 weeks receiving research training under the tutelage of prominent US and African (foreign) mentors at University of Botswana in Botswana and University of Zululand in South Africa. The E- MHIRT Program is an effort to contribute to the goal of the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities of building a diverse, culturally-competent research workforce to promote minority health and eliminate health disparities experienced by racial and ethnic minority, poor, and medically underserved populations in rural and urban communities. E-MHIRT Program components are (1) Pre-Travel Health- Disparities Workshops and Seminar Series to inform trainees about the problems of heath disparities in US and global contexts and related bioethics; (2) Research Training at Foreign Sites in (a) drug discovery with a goal of introducing treatment modalities, derived from Africa's rich traditional medical practice, (b) search for psychosocial risk factors for type 2 diabetes for comparison with data from the USA and Caribbean's in an effort to identify causes of excess diabetes morbidity among health disparities populations; (3) E-MHIRT Symposium at one of the foreign sites where trainees orally present their research findings; (4) Post-travel Activities that include (a) continuation of some of the research in the USA, and (b) Presentations at scientific meetings in the USA. It is hoped that these trainees will be part of a cadre of biomedical/behavioral/ social science researchers that understands health disparities populations and will resolve to contribute to the 7eduction and ultimate elimination of health disparities among US racial and ethnic minority groups.

描述（由申请人提供）：伊丽莎白市州立大学少数民族健康与健康差异国际研究培训（E-MHIRT）计划为来自美国健康差异人群的本科生提供了机会，从而在（i）药物发现中进行研究以对抗这种健康差异疾病，以抗击此类健康差异，例如，诸如前列腺癌和糖尿病疾病的疾病疾病，以识别II疾病，以识别II疾病的疾病，以便识别该疾病的疾病。影响美国的少数民族。选定的荣誉学生是美国健康差异人群的成员，主修生物学，化学，物理学，心理学，社会学和社会工作。他们将花10周的时间在博茨瓦纳博茨瓦纳大学和南非大学的博茨瓦纳大学的美国和非洲（外国）指导者的指导下接受研究培训。 E-MHIRT计划旨在为国家少数民族健康和健康差异的目标做出贡献，以建立多样化，具有文化的研究劳动力，以促进少数民族健康，并消除在农村和城市社区中种族和少数民族，贫困人口，贫困人口，贫困人口以及在农村和城市社区中贫困的人口贫困人群。 E-Mhirt计划组件是（1）旅行前健康差异研讨会和研讨会系列，以告知受训者美国以及全球环境和相关生物伦理学的卫生差异问题； （2）（a）在（a）药物发现中的外国现场的研究培训，其目的是引入治疗方式，该方法源自非洲丰富的传统医学实践，（b）寻找2型糖尿病的社会心理危险因素，以与美国和加勒比海的数据进行比较，以确定健康差异过多的糖尿病的原因。 （3）在学员口头提出研究结果的外国遗址之一的E-Mhirt研讨会； （4）旅行后的活动，包括（a）在美国的某些研究中继续进行（a）在美国的科学会议上演讲。希望这些受训者将成为了解健康差异人群的生物医学/行为/社会科学研究人员的一部分，并决心为美国种族和族裔少数群体中的7种分解和消除健康差异做出贡献。
