The overarching mission of this T37 application, Career Advancement for Research in Health Equity (CARE), is to increase the pool and diversity of scientists who are committed to conducting patient-oriented research that improves not only the quality and efficiency of healthcare but also addresses the well-documented national and global inequalities in healthcare access, utilization, and outcomes. In addition to the well-documented racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare in the US, there are growing global disparities in the epidemic of non- communicable diseases in low and middle- income countries. Expanding the diversity and number of well- trained physicians and scientists working across disciplines is essential to better understand and address the impact of biology, social determinants, and other barriers to health equity nationally and globally. However, increasing the number of underrepresented minority (URM) trainees committed to careers in biomedical sciences remains a significant challenge. The proposed training program addresses a critical deficiency faced by many URM scholars committed to careers in health equity and/or global health. The program will consist of 5 interrelated components: (1) an intensive 2-month summer didactic session on healthcare/scientific research fundamentals; (2) a weekly health equity seminar series; (3) a year-long, mentored research experience; (4) opportunities for trainees pursuing global health careers to train at our NIH-funded global health research sites in Haiti, Brazil, Tanzania, and Ghana; and (5) a competitive pilot funding program to support trainee- initiated research projects aimed at addressing health disparities and/or global health issues. We propose to recruit 10 trainees (total of 50 trainees over five years) to participate in a 1 year program personalized to meet the specific needs of trainees with diverse backgrounds. Although the program will consider trainees at any stage of the academic healthcare training continuum (from medical student, to resident, to fellowship/post- doc), whenever feasible we will seek out those at the post-doctoral/medical fellow level to achieve the long- term goal of increasing the number of URM who achieve faculty positions at our institution and nationally and pursue research to improve health equity and global health. The immediate objectives of this program are to: 1) Develop and implement successful strategies to identify and recruit talented URM pre- and post-doctoral trainees across the health sciences who are committed to careers in health equity or global health research; 2) Provide trainees experience in the conduct of multidisciplinary research in health disparities and global health with seasoned mentors embedded in major academic institutions and global health research sites; and 3)Engage URM trainees in our intensive summer research training session that leverages both formal degree and non-degree institutional programs and builds methodological skills in scientific research. In summary, successful completion of this program will lead to a significant increase in diversity in academic healthcare– a goal consistent with NIH's commitment to diversify the nation's scientific workforce.

此 T37 申请的首要任务是健康公平研究职业发展 (CARE)， 增加致力于开展以患者为中心的研究的科学家的数量和多样性 不仅提高了医疗保健的质量和效率，而且还解决了有据可查的国家和地区问题 全球医疗保健获取、利用和结果方面的不平等。除了有据可查的 美国医疗保健方面的种族/族裔差异，非非流行病的全球差异日益扩大 低收入和中等收入国家的传染病。扩大良好的多样性和数量 训练有素的跨学科医生和科学家对于更好地理解和解决这一问题至关重要 生物学、社会决定因素以及其他国家和全球健康公平障碍的影响。然而， 增加致力于生物医学职业的代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学员的数量 科学仍然是一个重大挑战。拟议的培训计划解决了 许多 URM 学者致力于健康公平和/或全球健康领域的职业生涯。该计划将包括 5 相关组成部分：(1) 为期 2 个月的夏季强化医疗保健/科学研究教学课程 基础知识； (2) 每周一次的健康公平研讨会系列； (3) 一年的指导研究经验； (4) 为追求全球健康事业的学员提供在美国国立卫生研究院资助的全球健康研究中接受培训的机会 海地、巴西、坦桑尼亚和加纳的站点； (5) 一个有竞争力的试点资助计划，以支持受训者 启动了旨在解决健康差异和/或全球健康问题的研究项目。我们建议 招募 10 名学员（五年内总共 50 名学员）参加为期 1 年的个性化计划，以满足 不同背景的学员的具体需求。尽管该计划将考虑任何培训生 学术医疗保健培训连续体的阶段（从医学生，到住院医师，到研究员/后 doc），只要可行，我们将寻找博士后/医学研究员级别的人员，以实现长期目标 学期目标是增加在我们机构和全国范围内获得教职的 URM 数量 开展研究以改善健康公平和全球健康。该计划的近期目标是：1) 制定并实施成功的策略来识别和招募有才华的 URM 博士前和博士后 致力于健康公平或全球健康研究职业的健康科学领域的学员； 2） 为学员提供进行健康差异和全球健康多学科研究的经验 拥有来自主要学术机构和全球健康研究机构的经验丰富的导师；和 3) 让 URM 学员参加我们的强化夏季研究培训课程，该课程利用正式学位 和非学位机构课程，并培养科学研究的方法技能。总之， 成功完成该计划将导致学术医疗保健的多样性显着增加—— 该目标与 NIH 对国家科学队伍多样化的承诺是一致的。
