DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for the competitive renewal of the Institutional National Research Service Award at the University of Pennsylvania to continue and expand a predoctoral and postdoctoral research training program. We will build on our successes from the first award period which include: 1) successful recruitment of minority researchers (44% of our predoctoral fellows and 40% of our postdoctoral fellows are minority researchers); 2) success in filling all positions; 3) establishment of interdisciplinary teams to support fellow research; 4) education of fellows that has resulted in research to improve the health of vulnerable populations, dissemination of this research and extramural funding of this research. In this application, we are refining our focus and concentrating on research training on the most vulnerable populations, minorities who experience well-documented health disparities. We will train nurse scientists to study disparities related to access, culturally influenced health behaviors, utilization, and funding of appropriate care, as well as disparities related to perceptions of difficult client-provider relationships. Our goal is to prepare nurse scientists to conduct culturally competent research designed to improve health and thus to decrease health disparities in vulnerable populations. Our broad conceptualization of health disparities of vulnerable populations is consistent with the research of the faculty for this proposed training program. Our faculty has pioneered unique approaches to the study of vulnerable populations at risk for health disparities and has been very successful in recruiting minority nurse researchers in the first five years of funding for this training grant. The proposed focus on health disparities among the most vulnerable allows for a rich interaction among the trainees and faculty studying health disparities within a broad range of research specialties. The predoctoral program provides beginning researchers with the knowledge and skills to conceptualize and implement clinical research designed to reduce health disparities among vulnerable women, children, and families. The predoctoral program builds on the current doctoral program by providing additional course work, focused seminars, mentorship, and experiences with researchers nationally and at Penn who are working to reduce health disparities, and provides research experience with ongoing studies. This is in addition to the concentration courses that provide the scientific background in the content area of each student's doctoral work and the required core courses and research courses that focus on contemporary nursing knowledge, research methods, and statistics. The purpose of the postdoctoral program is to facilitate independent research designed to reduce health disparities in vulnerable women, children and families; to develop the abilities of nurse trainees in specific content areas by engaging them in research with faculty; to encourage trainee publication; and to enable trainees to terminate the program with a fundable research proposal. Funds are requested for four new predoctoral and four new postdoctoral trainees each year, for two years of fellowship.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是为了在宾夕法尼亚大学的机构国家研究服务奖的竞争性更新，以继续和扩大博士前和博士后研究培训计划。我们将在第一个奖励期的成功基础上再接再厉，其中包括：1）成功招募少数民族研究人员（44%的博士前研究员和40%的博士后研究员是少数民族研究人员）; 2）成功填补所有职位; 3）建立跨学科团队，以支持研究员的研究; 4）对研究员进行教育，使他们能够进行研究，以改善弱势群体的健康，传播这项研究，并为这项研究提供校外资金。在这项申请中，我们正在调整我们的重点，并集中在最脆弱的人群，少数民族谁经历了有据可查的健康差距的研究培训。我们将培训护士科学家研究相关的访问，文化影响的健康行为，利用和适当的护理资金，以及与困难的客户端提供者关系的看法的差异。我们的目标是准备护士科学家进行文化能力的研究，旨在改善健康，从而减少弱势群体的健康差距。我们对弱势群体健康差距的广泛概念化与本拟议培训计划的教师研究一致。我们的教师开创了独特的方法来研究处于健康差距风险中的弱势群体，并在为该培训补助金提供资金的前五年中非常成功地招募了少数民族护士研究人员。拟议的重点放在最脆弱人群的健康差距上，这使得在广泛的研究专业范围内研究健康差距的学员和教师之间能够进行丰富的互动。博士前课程为初级研究人员提供知识和技能，以概念化和实施旨在减少弱势妇女，儿童和家庭之间健康差距的临床研究。 博士预科课程建立在目前的博士课程的基础上，通过提供额外的课程工作，重点研讨会，指导和经验，与全国和宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员一起努力减少健康差距，并提供正在进行的研究的研究经验。这是除了集中课程，提供每个学生的博士工作的内容领域的科学背景和所需的核心课程和研究课程，侧重于当代护理知识，研究方法和统计。博士后计划的目的是促进旨在减少弱势妇女，儿童和家庭的健康差距的独立研究;通过让他们与教师一起研究来发展护士学员在特定内容领域的能力;鼓励学员出版;并使学员能够以可资助的研究提案终止该计划。每年申请资助4名新的博士前和4名新的博士后受训人员，为期两年。
