项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) is a leading center for research on minority health and aging. UTMB has hosted an NIA-supported pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training program in minority health and aging since 1999. UTMB also has an MD-PhD Combined Degree Program since 1983 and has educated more than 100 clinician-scientists. Students accepted into the program complete an integrated MD-PhD curriculum that combines aspects of both the Medical School and Graduate School experiences to optimize the education of clinician-scientists. The Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health (PMCH) hosts a Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) newly accredited Population Health Science PhD program. The Population health Sciences program will partner with the MD-PhD Combined Degree Program to recruit 5 MD- PhD students over the five year period. The proposed MD-PhD program in clinical and behavioral sciences on health disparities in aging will focus on core areas of strengths in minority aging and health disparities research at UTMB, including: Hispanic and Hispanic/Latino health and aging, and disparities in health outcomes in older adults. These are areas in which the University has committed substantial resources toward creating new faculty positions and has demonstrated significant success in obtaining peer-reviewed (R01) support. In concert with the recently accredited graduate program in Population Health Sciences, we are proposing an integrated curriculum throughout medical school and the graduate years that will address both clinical aspects and cutting edge research on health disparities in older adults. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Provost's Office have made significant commitments in the past few years to enhancing the excellence of graduate education at UTMB. These commitments include the President's Scholars Program to recruit outstanding graduate students and the establishment of an Office of Postdoctoral Affairs that includes organized training and opportunities in career development and mentoring. We have developed a formal structure and related activities to enhance recruitment and facilitate the placement of our trainees regionally and nationally. We believe that our clinician scientist trainees will be competitive for leadership positions among th next generation of aging researchers and clinicians.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学医学分支（UTMB）是少数民族健康和老龄化研究的领先中心。自1999年以来，UTMB一直在少数民族健康和老龄化方面举办NIA支持的博士前和博士后培训计划。自1983年以来，UTMB还拥有MD-PhD联合学位课程，并培养了100多名临床科学家。接受该计划的学生完成综合的MD-PhD课程，该课程结合了医学院和研究生院的经验，以优化临床医生科学家的教育。预防医学和社区卫生部（PMCH）主办了一个关于公共卫生教育的理事会（CEPH）新认可的人口健康科学博士课程。人口健康科学计划将与MD-PhD联合学位计划合作，在五年内招收5名MD-PhD学生。拟议中的医学博士-博士学位课程在临床和行为科学的健康差距老龄化将集中在核心领域的优势，少数民族老龄化和健康差距 UTMB的研究，包括：西班牙裔和西班牙裔/拉丁裔健康和老龄化，以及老年人健康结果的差异。这些都是大学致力于创造新的教师职位的大量资源的领域，并在获得同行评审（R 01）支持方面取得了重大成功。与最近认可的人口健康科学研究生课程相一致，我们提出了整个医学院和研究生阶段的综合课程，该课程将解决老年人健康差异的临床方面和前沿研究。生物医学科学研究生院和教务长办公室在过去几年中做出了重大承诺，以提高UTMB研究生教育的卓越性。这些承诺包括总统的学者计划，以招募优秀的研究生和博士后事务办公室的建立，其中包括有组织的培训和职业发展和指导的机会。我们已经建立了一个正式的结构和相关活动，以加强征聘工作，并促进我们的受训人员在区域和国家一级的安置。我们相信，我们的临床科学家学员将在下一代老龄化研究人员和临床医生中具有竞争力的领导地位。
