DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the last decade, the Reducing Health Disparities Through Informatics (RHeaDI) research training program has prepared a diverse cadre of 15 nurse scientists at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels to take on the major science, health, and technology challenges and opportunities that face our nation for the foreseeable future. RHeaDI trainees have produced award-winning scholarship at premier scientific conferences for informatics; translated their findings into clinical, public health, and policy journals; and advanced the science of informatics application in underserved populations. Former RHeaDI trainees are now positioned as nursing and biomedical informatics faculty in leading research-intensive organizations. The RHeaDI core concepts of interdisciplinarity, informatics, health disparities, evidence-based practice, and underserved populations are even more central to federal and other national strategic initiatives now than in the past. However, health disparities continue to exist despite significant initiative aimed at improving health equity and creating a national health information network or cyberinfrastructure that improves health care, promotes health, and advances biomedical discoveries. It is nurse scientists, such as those educated in the RHeaDI training program, who are eminently prepared to bridge the scientific domains of nursing, health, biomedical informatics, and dissemination and implementation to reduce health disparities and facilitate evidence-based practice in underserved populations through application of rigorous interdisciplinary theories and methods. Thus, the specific aims of this competitive renewal application are to: 1) Maintain an administrative structure to support interdisciplinary research training for nurses focused on the use of informatics to reduce health disparities and facilitate evidence-based practice in underserved populations; 2) Recruit and train a qualified diverse cadre of nurses (predoctoral and postdoctoral) to conduct interdisciplinary research using informatics to reduce health disparities and facilitate evidence-based practice in underserved populations; 3) Enhance the knowledge and skills of predoctoral and postdoctoral nurse trainees in the integration of theories and methods from informatics and from dissemination and implementation science to reduce health disparities and facilitate evidence-based practice in underserved populations; and 4) Evaluate the training program structures, processes, and outcomes on an ongoing and annual basis. RHeaDI trainees will include 3 predoctoral (2-4 years of T32 support) and 2 postdoctoral trainees (2-3 years of T32 support) for an anticipated total of 5 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral trainees during the project period. There is no doubt that the need for RHeaDI is critical and its relevance to the 2011-2016 National Institute of Nursing Research Strategic Plan is strong. Moreover, the outstanding interdisciplinary research environment of Columbia University offers unique resources for achievement of study aims.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的十年中，通过信息学（RHEADI）研究培训计划降低健康差异，为在专业和博士后水平的15位护士科学家组成的各种干部都面临着主要的科学，健康，健康以及技术挑战和机遇，这些挑战和机遇面临着我们国家可预见的未来。 Rheadi学员在信息学的主要科学会议上获得了屡获殊荣的奖学金；将他们的发现转化为临床，公共卫生和政策期刊；并在服务不足的人群中提出了信息学应用科学。现在，前Rheadi学员被定位为领先的研究密集型组织的护理和生物医学信息学。跨学科，信息学，健康差异，基于证据的实践和服务不足的人口的Rheadi核心概念比过去更重要。然而，尽管旨在改善卫生公平并建立国家健康信息网络或网络基础设施来改善医疗保健，促进健康并进步生物医学发现，但健康差异仍然存在。正是护士科学家，例如在Rheadi培训计划中受过教育的护士，他们准备弥合护理，健康，生物医学信息学以及传播和实施的科学领域，以降低健康差异，并通过应用严格的跨学科理论和方法来促进基于证据的实践。因此，此竞争性更新应用的具体目的是：1）维持行政结构，以支持专注于使用信息学减少健康差异并促进贫困人群中的循证实践的护士跨学科研究培训； 2）招募和培训合格的各种护士干部（术前和博士后），以使用信息学来减少健康差异并促进服务不足人群的循证实践进行跨学科研究； 3）在整合信息学以及传播和实施科学的理论和方法方面，增强了托管和博士后护士学员的知识和技能，以减少健康差异并促进服务不足人群的循证实践； 4）以持续和年度评估培训计划结构，过程和结果。在项目期间，Rheadi学员将包括3个前3年（2 - 4年的T32支持）和2名博士后学员（2 - 3年的T32支持），预计将有5个占5和4个。毫无疑问，对Rheadi的需求至关重要，并且与2011 - 2016年国家护理研究所战略计划的相关性很强。此外，哥伦比亚大学杰出的跨学科研究环境为实现研究目标提供了独特的资源。
