 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): More than two-thirds of deaths in the United States result from the behavior-related diseases and over 40% of premature deaths are likely due to behavior patterns. Appropriate health behaviors may treat acute illnesses, prevent chronic diseases, forestall deterioration caused by existing chronic diseases, and impede or delay complications of those diseases. The proposed training program will focus on health behavior science. The training program is strongly linked to the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) mission and Strategic Plan, which identifies health promotion and disease prevention as the first of five areas of research investment. In addition, three of the four NINR identified themes for implementing the strategic plan (wellness by promoting health and preventing illness, self-management of chronic disease, and managing symptoms) require health behaviors to achieve optimal health and well-being outcomes. Missouri University Sinclair School of Nursing is an ideal setting for this training program because of the depth and breadth of expertise in health behavior science. This application requests support for pre-doctoral interdisciplinary research training to prepare the next cadre of nurse scientists who will develop knowledge to change health behaviors that significantly improve public health. Trainees will develop skills to conduct state-of-the-art health behavior research through a combination of didactic nursing and interdisciplinary coursework; interdisciplinary mentored experience on existing faculty projects; participation in conferences, seminars and workshops; research practica; and independent research projects. Accomplished health behavior scientists with robust programs of research from nursing, psychology, journalism, engineering, informatics, health services research, social work, health psychology, family and community medicine, rehabilitation medicine, family studies, and biostatistics will mentor trainees. The proposed program will train 10 pre-doctoral trainees over five years. Upon completion of this pre-doctoral health behavior science training program, trainees will have the requisite knowledge and skills to be able to: 1) design and implement conceptually sound and methodologically rigorous health behavior research within their population of interest; 2) incorporate the impact of cultural influences, health disparities, and social determinants of health into their health behavior research design; 3) write, secure, conduct, and administer a funded grant; 4) generate and execute a program of health behavior science research; and 5) perform interdisciplinary, team-based health behavior research. Nurse researchers are in a pivotal position to reduce morbidity, mortality, and health care costs by developing knowledge about effective strategies to improve health behaviors. Preparing nurse scientists to conduct rigorous health behavior research will significantly contribute to efforts to improve the health of the public by promoting healthy behaviors.

 在美国，超过三分之二的死亡是由行为相关疾病引起的，超过40%的过早死亡可能是由于行为模式。适当的健康行为可以治疗急性疾病，预防慢性疾病，预防现有慢性疾病引起的恶化，并阻止或延迟这些疾病的并发症。拟议的培训计划将侧重于健康行为科学。该培训计划与国家护理研究所（NINR）的使命和战略计划密切相关，该计划将健康促进和疾病预防确定为五个研究投资领域的第一个。此外，NINR确定的实施战略计划的四个主题中的三个（通过促进健康和预防疾病，慢性病的自我管理和管理症状来实现健康）需要健康行为，以实现最佳的健康和福祉结果。密苏里州大学辛克莱护理学院是一个理想的环境，因为在健康行为科学的专业知识的深度和广度为这个培训计划。该申请要求支持博士前跨学科研究培训，以准备下一批护士科学家，他们将发展知识，改变健康行为，显着改善公共卫生。学员将通过教学护理和跨学科课程的结合来培养进行最先进的健康行为研究的技能;现有教师项目的跨学科指导经验;参加会议，研讨会和讲习班;研究实践;和独立的研究项目。从护理，心理学，新闻学，工程学，信息学，卫生服务研究，社会工作，健康心理学，家庭和社区医学，康复医学，家庭研究和生物统计学的强大的研究方案的成功的健康行为科学家将指导学员。该计划将在五年内培养10名博士前实习生。在完成这个博士前健康行为科学培训计划后，学员将具备必要的知识和技能，能够：1）在他们感兴趣的人群中设计和实施概念上合理和方法上严格的健康行为研究; 2）将文化影响，健康差异和健康的社会决定因素的影响纳入他们的健康行为研究设计; 3）编写，安全，进行和管理资助的补助金; 4）生成和执行健康行为科学研究计划;和5）进行跨学科，基于团队的健康行为研究。护士研究人员在通过开发有关改善健康行为的有效策略的知识来降低发病率、死亡率和医疗保健成本方面处于关键地位。准备护士科学家进行严格的健康行为研究将显着有助于通过促进健康行为来改善公众健康的努力。
