DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite reported economic growth and social transformations there is a national and international need to increase the number of well-trained scientists from health disparities and underrepresented populations in the fields of biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and health services research. The overall purpose of this project by The University of Iowa is to continue to build on our history of health science research training for minority and underserved students in international settings. This program will strengthen these individuals and hopefully the host institution's capacity to conduct clinical, translation and implementation research on public health and basic science areas in three emerging centers of excellence, including the University of The Gambia, Banjul, The Gambia; the Anne Sullivan Center, Lima, Peru and the Center for Health Policy and Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The specific aims of this project are to (1) encourage ten undergraduate, graduate and health professions students who are from health disparities populations to pursue careers in basic science, biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health research fields, annually; (2) broaden the training of these students to encompass international health issues; (3) assist these students to participate in collaborative research initiatives with U.S. and international faculty; (4) increase cultural competency skills in the health sciences; (5) seek innovative approaches to address problems and/or hindrances associated with closing health disparities gaps; and (6) immerse the student in a research environment which provides full exposure to research activities including theoretical modeling, development of hypotheses and design, data collection and analysis, clinical or lab activities, and practical problem solving exercises. This multi-disciplinary program will continue to focus primarily on short-term training, and enhance the student and host country experiences through distance learning technologies and in-country workshops or oversight as much as possible by University of Iowa collaborating mentors. The program will also offer trainees opportunities for continued collaborations with both Iowa and in-country mentors with an end towards publishable research products whenever feasible. The success of the program is founded on the University of Iowa's broad expertise in areas of environmental health and public health and its years of experience training and or collaborating with researchers from the host country institutions.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管报告了经济增长和社会转型，但在生物医学、临床、行为和卫生服务研究领域，国家和国际需要增加来自健康差距和代表性不足人群的训练有素的科学家数量。这个项目的总体目的是由爱荷华州的大学是继续建立在我们的健康科学研究培训的历史，为少数民族和服务不足的学生在国际环境。该计划将加强这些人，并希望主办机构的能力，进行临床，翻译和实施研究的公共卫生和基础科学领域的三个新兴中心，包括冈比亚大学，班珠尔，冈比亚;安妮沙利文中心，利马，秘鲁和中心卫生政策和公共卫生在巴贝斯-波尔约大学在克卢伊-纳波卡，罗马尼亚。该项目的具体目标是：（1）每年鼓励10名来自健康差距人群的本科生、研究生和卫生专业学生从事基础科学、生物医学、临床和行为健康研究领域的职业;（2）扩大对这些学生的培训，使其涵盖国际卫生问题;（3）帮助这些学生参与与美国和国际教师的合作研究计划;（4）提高健康科学的文化能力技能;（5） 寻求创新的方法来解决与缩小健康差距相关的问题和/或障碍;（6）让学生沉浸在研究环境中，充分接触研究活动，包括理论建模，假设和设计的发展，数据收集和分析，临床或实验室活动，以及实际问题的解决 演习这一多学科项目将继续主要侧重于短期培训， 并通过远程学习技术和国内研讨会或尽可能多地由爱荷华州大学合作导师进行监督，增强学生和东道国的经验。该计划还将为学员提供与爱荷华州和国内导师继续合作的机会，并在可行的情况下为可持续的研究产品做好准备。该计划的成功是建立在爱荷华州的环境卫生和公共卫生领域的广泛专业知识和多年的经验培训和/或与东道国机构的研究人员合作的大学。
