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.

项目摘要摘要 来自健康差距(HD)人群的训练有素的少数民族健康调查人员能够做出 对消除HD的科学产生独特的影响。然而，HD科学家中的少数人很少， 特别是在卫生专业人员中，他们的培训使他们处于解决HD的独特地位。这个 拟议的培训计划通过为少数族裔学生提供专门的全球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来自不同领域的个人 进行HD研究的背景，并为以改善少数族裔为主要目标的职业生涯做准备 健康和缩小健康差距。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英才中心 研究(UMSONHS)-1)NIMHD资助的健康差距研究英才中心：EL Centro/拉丁美洲健康研究机会中心(Claro)，和2)泛美卫生组织/世卫组织合作 护理人力资源开发和病人安全中心。我们将在6个月内与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-UMSONHS 迈阿密大学制定了学生出国留学计划和培训/研究协议。这个 该计划每年将支持10名实习生。学生将参加为期两周的全球健康强化课程 差异暑期研究所，随后立即进行为期10周的研究体验。学生们将 在此期间，与东道国和UMSONHS的导师密切合作，进行全球HD 研究。回国后，学生将参加为期一周的研究传播和准备研讨会。 在HD研究方面的职业生涯。在研讨会期间，学生们将相互分享他们的经验， 通过非正式的小组讨论和正式的研究项目介绍 以及调查结果。学生们还将参加写作工作坊，他们将准备他们的 手稿，将在从他们的经验中回来后6个月内提交给同行评议期刊。 学生们将继续与他们的导师合作，在这13周的时间里准备科学 并申请研究生院和/或其他HD研究职业机会。 该方案将每年对过程和结果指标进行评估，并每年跟踪受训人员 为期10年，以评估方案对培训中期和长期目标的影响：a 从事HD研究(例如，攻读博士学位)并作为HD研究人员取得成功。
