项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recently, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has highlighted the need to increase the number of minority research scientists, as there exists a dearth of federally funded minority investigators in the United States. African Americans, Hispanics and American Indians, who collectively comprise 24% of the U.S. population, submitted only 5.2% of all applications to NIMH, resulting in only 3.9% of funded applicants. This disparity in the submission and funding of grants by African Americans and Latinos in particular is also reflected in funding patterns by NIH Institutes and Centers. The need to develop research mentoring programs for postdoctoral fellows and early career faculty to improve the capacity for high quality culturally congruent research in HIV/AIDS, mental health, substance abuse, and their associated disparities has been recognized. The overrepresentation of racial and ethnic minority (REM) individuals living with HIV/AIDS and suffering from mental illness and substance abuse in the United States but especially in Southern California, and an under-representation of REM researchers in these areas has been clearly documented and needs to be addressed. This proposed R25 training grant, the UCLA REM HIV/AIDS Translational Training (HATT) Program, will develop a research mentorship program for REM investigators interested in studying HIV/AIDS, mental health and substance abuse and associated co-morbid disparities. This program will also establish a summer institute with a network of senior mentors who are experts in the field of behavioral, basic, and clinical research of HIV/AIDS, mental health and substance abuse. With significant support from the UCLA Center for Culture, Trauma and Mental Health Disparities (CCTMHD), The Center for HIV Identification, Prevention and Treatment Services (CHIPTS) and the UCLA AIDS Institute and others, 8 postdoctoral fellows and junior investigators will receive state-of-the-art training over two years. These REM investigators will also promote interdisciplinary research that examines and elucidates the behavioral, biological, and psychological factors associated with HIV/AIDS, mental health, substance abuse and their associated disparities among racial and ethnic minorities. The UCLA Steering Committee, along with the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), will conduct a national application process to select post-doctoral and early career research candidates. Research mentoring will include: (1) a six-week summer institute composed of didactic lectures and individualized mentoring and consultation and; (2) ongoing long-term onsite research mentoring and mentoring via webcast telecommunication to guide and monitor progress toward research goals. The Steering Committee, SAC members, mentors, national consultants and REM investigators will evaluate the training program twice each year. Long-term research career follow-up will also be conducted to ensure that REM Investigators mentor others to extend the training into a second generation of NIH researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：最近，美国国家心理健康研究所（NIMH）强调了增加少数群体研究科学家的数量，因为美国贫困少数少数群体研究人员的缺乏。共同占美国人口的24％的非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和美洲印第安人仅向NIMH提交了5.2％的申请，只有3.9％的资助申请人。 NIH研究所和中心也反映了非洲裔美国人，尤其是拉丁美洲人的赠款和资助的这种差异。需要为博士后研究员和早期职业教师制定研究指导计划，以提高在艾滋病毒/艾滋病，心理健康，毒品滥用及其相关差异方面具有高质量文化上一致研究的能力。在美国，尤其是在南加州，患有艾滋病毒/艾滋病的种族和少数民族（REM）的人（REM）患有精神疾病和滥用毒品的人（尤其是在南加州，以及在这些领域的REM研究人员的代表性不足）已被清楚地记录在美国，需要解决。这项提议的R25培训补助金，UCLA REM HIV/AIDS翻译培训（Hatt）计划，将为有兴趣研究艾滋病毒/艾滋病，心理健康和药物滥用以及相关的合并差异的REM调查人员制定研究指导计划。该计划还将建立一个夏季学院，由高级导师网络建立，他们是艾滋病毒/艾滋病，心理健康和药物滥用的行为，基础和临床研究领域的专家。在UCLA文化，创伤和心理健康差异（CCTMHD）的大力支持下，HIV识别，预防和治疗服务中心（CHIPTS）以及UCLA AIDS Institute等人，有8名后代研究员和初级调查人员将在两年内接受最新的培训。这些REM研究人员还将促进跨学科研究，研究并阐明与艾滋病毒/艾滋病，心理健康，药物滥用，滥用毒品及其相关差异相关的行为，生物学和心理因素。 UCLA指导委员会以及科学咨询委员会（SAC）将进行全国申请程序，以选择博士后和早期职业研究候选人。研究指导将包括：（1）一个六周的夏季研究所，由教学演讲以及个性化的指导和咨询组成；（2）通过网络广播电信进行长期的现场研究指导和指导，以指导和监控研究目标的进度。指导委员会，SAC成员，导师，国家顾问和REM调查人员每年将两次评估培训计划。还将进行长期研究职业后续行动，以确保REM研究人员指导其他人将培训扩展到第二代NIH研究人员中。
