ABSTRACT Efforts to understand and eliminate health disparities are hampered by the disproportionately low representation of health disparities populations in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences research, domestically and globally. This has profound implications for the cultural appropriateness and quality of health research and health care involving health disparity populations. The proposed training program “Northwestern University Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Training” ( NU MHRT ) will provide health disparities research training experiences to minority and other underrepresented students and trainees (heretofore “trainees”) at the undergraduate through postdoctoral levels in order to prepare and enhance the next generation of scientists committed to research for improving minority health and reducing health disparities. NU-MHRT will also foster a health disparities research training partnership between Northwestern University (NU) and two federally designated Minority Serving Institutions, the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU). Northwestern offers a world class research training environment with state-of-the-art multidisciplinary and inter-disciplinary research programs in the health sciences. Leveraging our transdisciplinary team of well-established research faculty mentors, alongside our strong track record fostering community partnership, engagement, education, outreach and research career development of students from health disparities populations, over 5 years this program will provide mentored research training and immersion experiences, individual career development, and tailored didactic learning opportunities to support the advancement of 50 trainees from health disparities populations to their next stage in health disparities-focused research careers. A strength of this program is the setting of Northwestern University in Chicago, a metropolitan area rife with health disparities and an incubator of diverse, multi- disciplinary research programs aimed at reducing those disparities, including many led by the PI and Program Faculty within Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, the Institute of Public Health and Medicine, and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center. Specific Aims are: 1) Provide health disparities research training to 50 trainees (10/year, including 5 undergraduates, 3 pre-, and 2 post-doctoral trainees), from diverse underrepresented backgrounds, to foster the next generation of scientists committed to research focused on improving minority health and reducing health disparities; 2) Establish and support a cadre of research mentors and trainee candidates for health disparities research training by refining a health disparities research training partnership between NU and Chicago area institutions serving underserved health disparity populations and underrepresented students; 3) Formally evaluate trainee progress and the success of the research training program with respect to successful recruitment of highly qualified diverse trainees, within- program trainee achievement of program goals, and post-program trainee performance/career outcomes.

抽象的 理解和消除健康差距的努力因不成比例的低水平而受到阻碍 生物医学、行为、临床和社会科学领域健康差异人群的代表性 研究，国内和全球。这对于文化的适宜性和质量具有深远的影响 涉及健康差异人群的健康研究和医疗保健。拟议的培训计划 “西北大学少数民族 健康 和 健康 差异 研究 训练” （ 努 MHRT ）将提供 为少数族裔和其他代表性不足的学生和学员提供健康差异研究培训经验 （迄今为止的“实习生”）从本科生到博士后水平，以准备和加强 下一代科学家致力于改善少数族裔健康和减少健康的研究 差异。 NU-MHRT 还将促进西北大学之间的健康差异研究培训伙伴关系 大学 (NU) 和两所联邦政府指定的少数族裔服务机构——伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 （UIC）和东北伊利诺伊大学（NEIU）。西北大学提供世界一流的研究培训 拥有最先进的多学科和跨学科健康研究项目的环境 科学。利用我们完善的研究教师导师组成的跨学科团队，以及我们的 在促进社区伙伴关系、参与、教育、外展和研究事业方面有着良好的记录 该计划将在 5 年内为来自健康差异人群的学生提供指导 研究培训和沉浸式体验、个人职业发展以及量身定制的教学学习 有机会支持 50 名受训者从健康差异人群进入下一阶段 专注于健康差异的研究职业。该项目的优势在于西北大学的背景 芝加哥大学是一个充满健康差异的大都市区，也是多元化、多元化的孵化器 旨在减少这些差异的学科研究项目，包括许多由 PI 和 Program 领导的项目 西北大学范伯格医学院、公共卫生研究所和 医学和罗伯特·H·卢里综合癌症中心。具体目标是： 1) 提供健康 为 50 名学员提供差别研究培训（10 名/年，其中本科生 5 名，博士生 3 名，博士后 2 名） 学员），来自不同的代表性不足的背景，以培养致力于 研究重点是改善少数民族健康和减少健康差距； 2) 建立并支持 研究导师和实习生候选人的骨干队伍，通过完善健康状况进行健康差异研究培训 NU 与芝加哥地区服务于医疗服务不足的机构之间的差异研究培训伙伴关系 人口差异和学生代表性不足； 3) 正式评估学员的进步和成功 关于成功招募高素质多样化学员的研究培训计划， 计划受训者的计划目标实现情况，以及计划后受训者的表现/职业成果。
