Project Summary Abstract Well-trained minority health investigators from health disparity (HD) populations are in a position to make a unique impact on the science of eliminating HD. However, there is a shortage of minority HD scientists, especially among health professionals whose training places them in a unique position to address HD. The proposed training program addresses these gaps by providing minority students with specialized global HD research training. The training program’s aim is to encourage and prepare individuals from diverse backgrounds to conduct HD research and to prepare for careers with the primary goal of improving minority health and reducing health disparities. The training program will be strengthened by existing exchange agreements and by two existing centers of excellence at the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies (UMSONHS) – 1)The NIMHD-funded Center of Excellence for Health Disparities Research: El Centro/The Center for Latino Health Research Opportunities (CLaRO), and 2)The PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing Human Resources Development and Patient Safety. We will partner with 7 institutions in 6 countries - Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, and Peru - where the UMSONHS and the University of Miami established student study abroad programs and training/research agreements. The program will support 10 trainees per year. Students will participate in a 2-week Intensive Global Health Disparities Summer Research Institute, immediately followed by a 10-week research experience. Students will work closely with mentors in the host country and at the UMSONHS during this time to conduct global HD research. Upon return, students will participate in a 1-week seminar on research dissemination and preparing for a career in HD research. During the seminar, the students will share their experiences with one another, both informally through group discussions, as well as formally through presentations of their research projects and findings. Students will also participate in a writing workshop and they will prepare the first draft of their manuscript, which will be submitted to a peer-review journal within 6 months of returning from their experience. Students will continue to work with their mentors well beyond this 13-week period to prepare scientific presentations and publications and to apply to graduate school and/or other HD research career opportunities. The program will be evaluated for process and outcome indicators annually, and trainees will be tracked yearly for a period of 10 years to assess program impact on the intermediate and long-term goals of the training: a career in HD research (e.g., pursuing a PhD) and success as an HD researcher.

项目摘要 来自健康差异（HD）人群的训练有素的少数族裔健康调查人员能够做出 对消除HD的科学产生了独特的影响。然而，缺乏少数民族HD科学家， 特别是在卫生专业人员中，他们的培训使他们在解决HD问题方面处于独特的地位。的 拟议的培训计划通过为少数民族学生提供专业的全球HD来解决这些差距 研究训练。该培训计划的目的是鼓励和准备个人从不同的 背景进行HD研究，并为职业生涯做好准备，其主要目标是改善少数民族 健康和减少健康差距。培训计划将通过现有的交流得到加强 协议和迈阿密大学护理与健康学院现有的两个卓越中心 研究（UMSONHS）- 1）NIMHD资助的健康差异研究卓越中心：El Centro/拉丁美洲健康研究机会中心（CLaRO），以及2）泛美卫生组织/世卫组织合作 护理人力资源发展及病人安全中心。我们将在6个国家与7个机构合作 哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、多米尼加共和国、牙买加、墨西哥和秘鲁等国家， 和迈阿密大学建立了学生出国留学计划和培训/研究协议。的 该计划每年将支持10名学员。学生将参加为期2周的强化全球健康 差异夏季研究所，紧接着是一个为期10周的研究经验。学生将 在此期间，与东道国和UMSONHS的导师密切合作，进行全球HD research.返回后，学生将参加为期一周的研讨会，讨论研究传播和准备 从事HD研究在研讨会期间，学生们将相互分享他们的经验， 无论是通过小组讨论的非正式形式，还是通过他们的研究项目的正式介绍， 和调查结果。学生们还将参加一个写作研讨会，他们将准备他们的初稿。 手稿，这将提交给同行评审杂志在6个月内返回他们的经验。 学生将继续与他们的导师远远超过这13周的时间，以准备科学的 演讲和出版物，并申请研究生院和/或其他HD研究的就业机会。 该计划将每年评估过程和结果指标，并每年跟踪受训人员 为期10年，以评估方案对培训中长期目标的影响：a HD研究的职业生涯（例如，攻读博士学位）并作为HD研究人员取得成功。
