Research Training/Education Core

研究培训/教育核心将建立一套全面的培训和指导活动，与我们的整体多层次概念模型密切相关，并与研究项目相结合。我们将在上一个供资期间成功实施的一系列培训和辅导活动的基础上，加以扩大和正式化。该中心将协调与该中心的两个主要目标密切相关的教育活动：（1）加强必要的培训，以了解少数群体健康和健康差距的多层次决定因素，特别注重社会和生物因素的结合;以及（2）建立我们与杰克逊心脏研究（JHS）的合作伙伴关系以及通过我们的青年学者年度研讨会与CIAHD联系的初级研究人员网络。培训/教育核心的具体目标是：（1）加强对密歇根大学研究生的培训，使其了解采用综合、多层次的方法研究少数群体的健康和健康差距（密歇根州）、杰克逊州立大学（JSU）和密西西比大学医学中心（UMMC）通过参加短期课程、讲习班、和研究研讨会提供了在密歇根州和积极参与正在进行的研究活动。(2)为了扩大培训，教育和指导活动的博士后研究员和初级教师在综合，多层次的方法，少数民族健康和健康差距的研究在密歇根州，JSU和UMMC。(3)通过在杰克逊为年轻的少数民族调查人员主办一次年度科学研讨会，为研究传播、技能建设、专业发展和建立网络的目的，为初级调查人员建立一个基础广泛的论坛，定期进行培训、教育、职业指导和一般互动，以整合少数民族健康的社会和生物决定因素以及多层次的健康差异。培训和指导活动将与我们的综合概念模型密切相关，整合在研究项目中，并将扩大和正式化与杰克逊心脏研究建立的非常成功的培训和教育伙伴关系，作为前一个资助期的一部分。

The Research Training/Education Core will establish a comprehensive set of training and mentoring activities intimately linked to our overall multilevel conceptual model, and integrated with the Research Projects. We will build on, extend, and formalize the set of training and mentoring activities successfully implemented during the prior funding period. The Core will coordinate the educational activities intimately linked to two major CIAHD goals: (1) enhancing training necessary to develop an understanding of multilevel determinants of minority health and health disparities with a special focus on integrating social and biological factors; and (2) building on our collaborative partnership with the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) and on the network of junior investigators linked to CIAHD through our annual symposium for young scholars. The Specific Aims of the Training/Education Core are: (1) To enhance training in integrative, multilevel approaches to minority health and health disparities research for graduate students at the University of Michigan (Michigan), Jackson State University (JSU), and the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) through participation in short courses, workshops, and research seminars offered at Michigan and active engagement in on-going research activities. (2) To expand training, education, and mentoring activities for postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty in integrative, multilevel approaches to minority health and health disparities research at Michigan, JSU, and UMMC. (3) To create broad-based forum for periodic training, education, career mentoring and general interactions for junior investigators in the integration of social and biological determinants of minority health and health disparities across multiple levels by sponsoring an annual scientific symposium in Jackson for young minority investigators for the purposes of research dissemination, skill-building, professional development, and networking. Training and mentoring activities will be closely linked to our integrated conceptual model, integrated within the research projects, and will expand on and formalize the very successful training and education partnership established with the Jackson Heart Study as part of the prior funding period.
