Indigenous populations (IP) of the Americas (i.e., American Indians/Alaska Natives [AIAN]; Indigenous Latin Americans- pueblos Indígenas), the Hawaiian (Native Hawaiian-Kanaka ‘Ōiwi) and US Pacific Territories (e.g., tagata Sāmoa), and Nepal (Adivasi Janajati) share a troubling commonality with respect to persistent and dire health disparities. Despite such glaring disparities, there is a paucity of culturally grounded research addressing their biomedical and socio-behavioral health concerns. A strong network of highly trained Indigenous scholars dedicated to culturally relevant research would contribute to ameliorating health disparities among IP. This new application, in response to RFA-MD-18-007 “NIMHD Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Training (MHRT) Program (T37),” is designed to develop the Luna Program: International Indigenous Health Research Training Program an international 12-week health research training opportunity in Latin America (Peru & Guatemala), Nepal, and in Hawai’i to 45 qualified doctoral and post-doctoral trainees from IP who have been historically underrepresented in biomedical and sociobehavioral research careers.The Luna program builds on the success of our Mahina Program (T37), originally developed through a tripartite partnership of the UW, University of Auckland, and University of Hawai’I for undergraduate IP. This new application extends our efforts into Latin America (Guatemala and Peru), South Asia (Nepal), and Hawai’i/Oceania with a focused approach to training doctoral and post-doctoral trainees. To achieve the overall objectives of the Luna MHRT, we will select 9 pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students per year over 5 years who will undergo a structured international 12-week mentored summer research training program that includes: (1) a 5-day orientation and research training institute at the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute at the University of Washington, followed by a 10-week International Summer Research Training (ISRT) program at the host country and associated community-based research sites; (2) supervision and training by an international network of country site Preceptors and mentors with expertise in social, cultural, and historical determinants of Indigenous health and health disparities, CBPR, Indigenous ethics and research protocols, and Indigenous research methodologies; (3) community-based research exposure with Preceptors and on-site mentors who will provide supervised field research experiences and shadowing opportunities; (4) a 4-day grant development and writing workshop to produce a NIH grant proposal and publication based on the foreign country research training experience; (5) administrative, editorial, and technical assistance for developing conference presentations and writing manuscripts for publication; (6) year-round multidisciplinary learning opportunities via seminar series, webinars, and presentations at home institutions; (7) access to a website and listserv to facilitate the sharing of relevant research, information, and opportunities; and, (8) a process evaluation of the program to identify factors key to its success.

美洲土著居民 (IP)（即美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民 [AIAN]；土著拉丁人 美洲人 - pueblos Indígenas）、夏威夷人（夏威夷原住民 - Kanaka ‘Ōiwi）和美国太平洋领地（例如， tagata 萨摩亚）和尼泊尔（Adivasi Janajati）在持续和可怕的方面有着令人不安的共同点 健康差异。尽管存在如此明显的差异，但基于文化的研究却很少 解决他们的生物医学和社会行为健康问题。训练有素的强大网络 致力于文化相关研究的土著学者将有助于改善健康差距 IP之间。这项新申请是为了响应 RFA-MD-18-007“NIMHD 少数族裔健康与健康 差异研究培训 (MHRT) 计划 (T37)”，旨在开发 Luna 计划：国际 土著健康研究培训计划是一个为期 12 周的国际健康研究培训机会 拉丁美洲（秘鲁和危地马拉）、尼泊尔和夏威夷为 45 名合格的博士和博士后培训生 来自知识产权的人历来在生物医学和社会行为研究职业中代表性不足。 Luna 计划建立在 Mahina 计划 (T37) 的成功之上，该计划最初是通过三方开发的 威斯康星大学、奥克兰大学和夏威夷大学在本科生知识产权方面的合作伙伴关系。这个新的 应用程序将我们的努力扩展到拉丁美洲（危地马拉和秘鲁）、南亚（尼泊尔）和 夏威夷/大洋洲采用有针对性的方法来培训博士和博士后学员。为达到总体 Luna MHRT 的目标，我们将在 5 年内每年选拔 9 名博士前和博士后学生 他们将接受为期 12 周的结构化国际夏季研究培训计划，其中包括： (1) 位于原住民健康研究所的为期 5 天的定向和研究培训机构 华盛顿大学，随后在华盛顿大学进行为期 10 周的国际暑期研究培训 (ISRT) 项目 东道国和相关的社区研究中心； (2) 监督和培训 由具有社会、文化和历史专业知识的国家导师和导师组成的国际网络 原住民健康和健康差异的决定因素、CBPR、原住民伦理和研究协议， 本土研究方法； (3) 与导师和现场进行基于社区的研究接触 导师将提供受监督的实地研究经验和见习机会； (4) 4天补助金 开发和写作研讨会，根据国外的研究成果制作 NIH 拨款提案和出版物 国家研究培训经验； (5) 为开发提供行政、编辑和技术援助 会议演讲和撰写出版手稿； (6) 全年多学科学习 通过研讨会系列、网络研讨会和在国内机构演讲的机会； (7) 访问网站以及 listserv 促进相关研究、信息和机会的共享； (8) 一个过程 评估该计划以确定其成功的关键因素。
