Transdisciplinary Training in Health Disparities Science (TTHDS)

描述(由申请人提供)：我国部分人口的健康结果持续存在差异，突出了从多因素框架理解和干预的必要性。面向博士后和博士后研究员的跨学科健康差异科学培训(TTHDS)计划将培养护士科学家，使他们能够利用与他们合作的群体、社区和组织的文化，了解和描述不同的健康结果，干预以改善健康结果，并翻译和传播产生广泛影响的科学发现。拟议的TTHDS方案的目标是(1)利用跨学科的教育经验，准备护士进行严格的临床研究，以改善弱势人群的健康行为和一生的健康结果，(2)培养研究人员技能，利用脆弱人群的终身文化了解和干预，以改善不同的、负面的健康结果，(3)指导受训人员设计和进行针对弱势人群的终身健康研究，(4)准备研究员进行独立研究，并在弱势人群的终身健康研究中追求职业生涯，以及(5)培训研究员根据循证实践的原则将研究成果转化为临床实践和卫生政策。TTHDS计划将在当前博士计划的基础上，通过在多学科背景下利用文化因素领域扩大实质性内容。在该计划的5年期间，资助将总共支持10名博士后研究员和5名博士后研究员，每个研究员的资助期限为2年。TTHDS项目的基础是具有活跃研究项目的教师赞助商的多样化科学专业知识。此外，该计划还将借鉴护理与健康创新学院的独特结构，该学院融合了营养、运动与健康和健康科学课程，允许开展独特的跨学科/跨专业培训计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The continued disparity in health outcomes for segments of our nation's population underscores the need to understand and intervene from a multifactorial framework. The Transdisciplinary Training in Health Disparities Science (TTHDS) program for pre- and postdoctoral fellows will prepare nurse scientists to leverage the culture of the groups, communities, and organizations with whom they work to understand and describe disparate health outcomes, intervene to improve health outcomes, and translate and disseminate scientific findings for widespread impact. The objectives of the proposed TTHDS program are to (1) using transdisciplinary educational experiences, prepare nurses to conduct rigorous clinical research that improves healthy behaviors and health outcomes of vulnerable populations across the lifespan, (2) develop researcher skills in leveraging cultures of vulnerable populations across the lifespan for understanding and intervening to improve disparate, negative health outcomes, (3) mentor trainees in the design and ethical conduct of health research with vulnerable populations across the lifespan, (4) prepare fellows to conduct independent research and pursue careers in transdisciplinary health research with vulnerable populations across the lifespan, and (5) train fellows to translate research findings to clinical practice and health policy based on the principles of evidence-based practice. The TTHDS program will build on the current PhD program by expanding substantive content in the areas of leveraging cultural components within a multidisciplinary context. Over the 5-year period of the program, funding will support a total of 10 predoctoral and 5 postdoctoral fellows, with each fellow supported for a 2-year period. At the foundation of the TTHDS program is the diverse scientific expertise of faculty sponsors with active programs of research. The program will, moreover, draw from the unique structure of the College of Nursing and Health Innovation, a blend of Nutrition, Exercise & Wellness, and Health Sciences programs that allows for a distinctive transdisciplinary/interprofessional training program.
