DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a critical, national need for an increased number and diversity of health professionals who are actively engaged in clinical and translational research, working to eliminate health disparities and improve minority health. In response to this need, the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, with NIH support (RR017589), has been a leader, having developed and implemented a successful academic program in clinical research, the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSc) program. To continue and build on our success in increasing the number, quality, and diversity of outstanding Hispanic clinical and translational investigators, we submit this renewal application in response to PAR-11-325, Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD) in Minority Institutions (R25). We propose to expand the availability of current resources to well qualified candidates from partner academic institutions and research centers in Puerto Rico and continue to foster collaborations with US mainland researchers. The specific aims of this application are: (1) to strengthen research education and career development in Puerto Rico through the implementation of the revised post-doctoral Master of Science in Clinical and Translational Research (MCTR) curriculum; and (2) to develop a diverse group of Hispanic scientists with the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue clinical and translational research, particularly in diseases and healthcare conditions that disproportionately impact minority populations. To further these aims, we propose to strengthen the current post-doctoral program by increasing collaboration with other research training programs, intensifying research mentoring opportunities, and continuing to evaluate our efforts. These enhanced opportunities will ensure that Scholars will participate in on-going faculty research, research seminars, and national conferences. They will also receive publication, presentation, research dissemination, and grantsmanship experiences. We will strengthen the research capacity of the MCTR program through highly trained and experienced faculty and investigators who have productive track records in clinical and translational research in the areas of interest. The formation of thi new generation of clinical and translational investigators will be encouraged by providing administrative, physical, and fiscal support. This Hispanic Clinical and Translational Research Education and Career Development (HCTRECD) 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. Our 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.

描述(由申请人提供)：国家迫切需要更多和多样化的卫生专业人员，他们积极参与临床和转化性研究，努力消除健康差距，改善少数群体的健康。作为对这一需求的回应，波多黎各大学医学校区在NIH(RR017589)的支持下一直处于领先地位，开发并实施了一个成功的临床研究学术计划-临床研究理学硕士计划(MSc)。为了继续发展我们在增加优秀拉美裔临床和翻译研究人员的数量、质量和多样性方面取得的成功，我们提交此续签申请，以回应PAR-11-325，少数民族机构临床研究教育和职业发展(CRECD)(R25)。我们建议将现有资源扩大到波多黎各合作学术机构和研究中心的合格候选人，并继续促进与美国大陆研究人员的合作。这项申请的具体目标是：(1)通过实施修订后的临床和翻译研究(MCTR)理学博士后硕士课程，加强波多黎各的研究、教育和职业发展；(2)培养具有从事临床和翻译研究的必要知识和技能的不同拉美裔科学家群体，特别是在对少数族裔人口影响不成比例的疾病和医疗保健条件下。为了实现这些目标，我们建议通过增加与其他研究培训计划的合作，加强研究指导机会，并继续评估我们的努力，来加强当前的博士后计划。这些增加的机会将确保学者将参与正在进行的教师研究、研究研讨会和国家会议。他们还将获得出版、演示、研究传播和授勋经验。我们将通过训练有素、经验丰富的教师和研究人员来加强MCTR项目的研究能力，这些教师和研究人员在感兴趣的领域的临床和翻译研究方面拥有富有成效的记录。通过提供行政、物理和财政支持，将鼓励新一代临床和翻译研究人员的形成。这一西班牙裔临床和转化性研究教育和职业发展(HCTRECD)计划正在通过与社区、行业和国家研究密集型机构建立伙伴关系而得到进一步加强，这些机构对解决少数族裔健康问题中的重大问题感兴趣。我们的最终目标是加强少数族裔卫生专业人员对临床和转化研究的参与，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。
