DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As emphasized in recent reports, research training of minority health professionals is a critical need nationwide. In response, the Medical Sciences Campus of the University of Puerto Rico, with NIH support (RR017589), established a successful academic program in clinical research, the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) Program. In this renewal application, our immediate goal continues to be increasing the number and quality of outstanding Hispanic clinical investigators. A long-term goal of the MSCR Program is to establish research programs that integrate clinical investigations across multiple departments, schools and research institutes in Puerto Rico and collaborations with US mainland researchers. The ultimate goal is to enhance the participation of minority health professionals in clinical and translational research that will have a significant impact on the health of the community, particularly underrepresented minorities. Specific aims of the application are to: (1) Develop the research capacity of minority health professionals through the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) Program; and (2) Facilitate successful transition of MSCR graduates to research independence. To further these aims we propose to strengthen the current program by upgrading courses to strengthen didactic training, intensifying research mentoring opportunities, and continuing to evaluate our efforts. These enhanced opportunities will ensure that scholars will participate in ongoing faculty research, research seminars, and national conferences. They will receive publication, presentation, research dissemination, and grantsmanship experiences. Research mentors, chosen from the cadre of Medical Sciences clinical investigators, are fundamental to the success of the MSCR Program. Successful clinical investigators, mainly descendents of minority populations residing in the US, are accessible for long distance mentoring. The advancement of newly-minted clinical investigators will be stimulated by providing administrative, physical, and fiscal support. This career development program is being further strengthened by fostering partnerships with the community, industry and national research-intensive institutions interested in addressing significant questions in minority health issues. The ultimate vision of this Program is to prepare a cadre of Hispanic clinical researchers that will be ideally positioned to initiate original and important clinical investigations addressing the multifactorial health disparities between minority and non-minority populations.

描述(由申请人提供)：正如最近的报告中强调的那样，对少数民族卫生专业人员的研究性培训是全国范围内的迫切需求。作为回应，波多黎各大学医学校区在美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)的支持下(RR017589)，建立了一个成功的临床研究学术项目-临床研究理学硕士项目(MSCR)。在这次续签申请中，我们的直接目标仍然是增加优秀拉美裔临床研究人员的数量和质量。MSCR计划的长期目标是建立研究计划，整合波多黎各多个部门、学校和研究机构的临床调查，并与美国大陆研究人员合作。最终目标是加强少数族裔保健专业人员对临床和转化性研究的参与，这些研究将对社区的健康产生重大影响，特别是代表性不足的少数族裔。申请的具体目的是：(1)通过临床研究理学硕士(MSCR)计划发展少数民族卫生专业人员的研究能力；以及(2)促进MSCR毕业生成功过渡到研究独立。为了进一步实现这些目标，我们建议通过升级课程以加强教学培训、加强研究指导机会并继续评估我们的努力来加强当前的计划。这些增加的机会将确保学者参与正在进行的教师研究、研究研讨会和国家会议。他们将获得出版、演示、研究传播和授勋经验。研究导师是从医学临床研究人员中挑选出来的，他们是MSCR项目成功的基础。成功的临床研究人员，主要是居住在美国的少数族裔的后裔，可以进行远程指导。将通过提供行政、物理和财政支持来促进新成立的临床研究人员的进步。通过与社区、行业和国家研究密集型机构建立伙伴关系，这一职业发展计划得到进一步加强，这些机构对解决少数群体健康问题中的重大问题感兴趣。该计划的最终愿景是培养一支拉美裔临床研究人员队伍，他们将处于理想的地位，能够启动原创性和重要的临床研究，解决少数民族和非少数民族人口之间的多因素健康差距。
