Rehabilitative and Regenerative Medicine for Minority Health & Health Disparities

描述（由申请人提供）：这项新的申请寻求NICHD继续教育培训计划（T15）赞助一项名为“少数民族健康和健康差异的再生和再生医学（[RMH]2D）”的创新高级计划，以培训和指导有前途的医生-科学家和其他研究人员，他们来自康复研究中先进技术占主导地位的社区。[RMH]2D（发音为“buddy”）提供动态培训，提供一系列关于新兴概念的新的日常讲师，扩展讨论，实验室研究，为期一周的研讨会和非正式研讨会，然后是科学会议/大会的年度研讨会晚餐。主要目的是每年为16名新独立的研究人员开展密集的实验室培训，以教育他们关于CNS和骨骼肌康复的再生研究策略，并帮助启动和维持他们的职业生涯。该课程提供在霍华德（1年），莫尔豪斯（2年）和梅哈里（3年），根据杰拉尔德Schatten，博士，来自匹兹堡的沿着还有霍华德的教务长詹姆斯·怀切博士温斯顿·汤普森博士来自莫尔豪斯和艾曼·阿尔·亨迪医学博士博士来自Meharry四个目标是：一。提供概念教育和实验培训，重点放在非洲裔美国人社区流行的疾病的复杂方法;二。在所有课程参与者中促进坦诚和有意义的对话，讨论目前招聘和留住最有才华的研究人员的障碍，以实现NIH研究人员队伍的全面多样化;教育参与者在研究中的少数民族健康差异，伦理，社会和法律的影响（ELSI），以及[RMH]2D调查发生的监管环境，使学员可以开始自己的研究计划，以最道德和负责任的方式，避免不必要的陷阱和延误;四。鼓励和授权课程参与者度过他们职业生涯中最脆弱的阶段，并全面和纵向地监测和跟踪他们的成就，以确保这些宝贵的资金可以被证明是明智的，具有成本效益和富有成效的投资。总的来说，这个NICHD继续教育培训计划的目的是提供全面和复杂的培训和最先进的方法，生物工程，细胞，分子和遗传方法，以推进再生和再生医学的前沿，纠正少数民族的健康和健康差异。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new application seeks NICHD Continuing Education Training Program (T15) sponsorship for an innovative advanced program entitled 'Rehabilitative and Regenerative Medicine for Minority Health and Health Disparities ([RMH]2D) to train and mentor promising physician-scientists and other researchers from predominately underrepresented communities in sophisticated technologies in rehabilitation research. [RMH]2D (pronounced 'remedy') offers dynamic training that provides a fresh series of daily lecturers on emerging concepts, extended discussion, laboratory research, workshops and informal seminars over week-long periods, followed by an annual symposium dinner at a scientific meeting/congress. The primary aim is the development of an intense laboratory-based training for 16 newly independent investigators per year to educate them on regeneration research strategies for CNS and skeletal-muscular rehabilitation, and to help launch and sustain their careers. The courses are offered at Howard (years 1), Morehouse (year 2) and Meharry (year 3), under the overall directorship of Gerald Schatten, Ph.D., from Pittsburgh along with Howard's Provost James Wyche, Ph.D., Winston Thompson, Ph.D. from Morehouse and Ayman Al-Hendy, M.D., Ph.D. from Meharry. The four aims are to: I. Provide conceptual education and experimental training in the sophisticated methods focused on diseases prevalent in African-American communities; II. Foster candid and meaningful conversations among all course participants regarding current barriers to the recruitment and retention of the most talented researchers to achieve full diversification of NIH's research workforce; III. Educate participants on minority health disparities in research, the ethical, social and legal implications (ELSI), and the regulatory landscape in which [RMH]2D investigations occur, so that trainees may begin their own research programs in the most ethical and responsible manner and avoid needless pitfalls and delays; IV. Encourage and empower the course participants through the most fragile stages of their careers as well as monitor and track their achievements comprehensively and longitudinally to ensure that these precious funds can be demonstrated to be wise, cost-effective and fruitful investments. Overall, the purpose of this NICHD Continuing Education Training Program is to provide comprehensive and sophisticated training and state-of-the-art methods on bioengineering, cellular, molecular and genetic approaches for advancing the Frontiers in Rehabilitative and Regenerative Medicine for rectifying Minority Health and Health Disparities.
