DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 nurses, public health practitioners and other health professionals whose training places them in a unique position to address HD. The proposed training program will address these gaps by providing minority undergraduate and second-degree seeking students the opportunity for specialized global HD research training. The overarching aim of the proposed program is to encourage and equip undergraduate nursing, public health and health sciences students and second-degree undergraduate nursing (Accelerated BSN) students to pursue careers in HD research. The two sub-aims are to: 1) equip these students with the skills to conduct culturally competent, ethically responsible global HD research; and 2) provide students with mentorship and support that will ultimately make them more attractive to graduate schools and more likely to succeed as HD researchers. 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) - The NIMHD-funded Center of Excellence for Health Disparities Research: El Centro (2P60 MD002266) and The PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing Human Resources Development and Patient Safety. This infrastructure provides access to an existing network of nursing schools throughout the globe with which the UMSONHS has a strong history of collaboration in research and training. We will partner with 5 institutions in 4 countries - Australia, Chile, the Dominican Republic and Spain - where the UMSONHS has established student study abroad programs and training/research agreements. The program will support 10 trainees per year (8 undergraduates enrolled in nursing, public health or health sciences and 2 Accelerated BSN students). Students will participate in a 3-week Intensive Global Health Disparities Summer Research Institute, immediately followed by an 8-week research experience in the host country. 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 where they will share their experiences with one another, learn about and discuss opportunities for graduate studies, and develop a plan to disseminate their research. Students will continue to work with their mentors well beyond this 12-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 7 years to assess program impact on the intermediate and long-term goals of the training: pursuit of graduate studies and a career in HD research (e.g., pursuing a PhD) and success as an HD researcher (e.g., fellowships, presentations, publications, grants).

描述（由申请人提供）：来自健康差异（HD）人群的训练有素的少数民族健康调查人员能够对消除HD的科学产生独特的影响。然而，少数民族HD科学家短缺，特别是在护士，公共卫生从业人员和其他卫生专业人员中，他们的培训使他们在解决HD方面处于独特的地位。拟议的培训计划将通过为少数民族本科和第二学位寻求学生提供专门的全球HD研究培训的机会来解决这些差距。拟议计划的总体目标是鼓励和装备本科护理，公共卫生和健康科学的学生和第二学位本科护理（加速BSN）的学生追求事业在HD研究。这两个次级目标是：1）使这些学生具备进行文化能力，道德责任的全球HD研究的技能; 2）为学生提供指导和支持，最终使他们对研究生院更具吸引力，更有可能成为HD研究人员。该培训计划将通过现有的交流协议和两个现有的卓越中心在护理和健康研究（UMSONHS）的迈阿密大学学校-NIMHD资助的健康差异研究卓越中心：埃尔森特罗（2 P60 MD 002266）和泛美卫生组织/世卫组织护理人力资源开发和患者安全合作中心得到加强。该基础设施提供了进入地球仪现有护理学校网络的机会，UMSONHS与该网络在研究和培训方面有着悠久的合作历史。我们将与4个国家的5个机构合作-澳大利亚，智利，多米尼加共和国和西班牙-在那里UMSONHS已经建立了学生出国留学计划和培训/研究协议。该计划每年将支持10名学员（8名本科生就读于护理，公共卫生或健康科学和2名加速BSN学生）。学生将参加为期3周的全球健康差异暑期密集研究所，随后立即在东道国进行为期8周的研究体验。在此期间，学生将与东道国和UMSONHS的导师密切合作，进行全球HD研究。返回后，学生将参加为期1周的研讨会，在那里他们将彼此分享他们的经验，了解和讨论研究生学习的机会，并制定一个计划来传播他们的研究。学生将继续与他们的导师远远超出这12周的时间准备科学演讲和出版物，并申请研究生院和/或其他HD研究的职业机会。该计划将每年评估一次过程和结果指标，并每年跟踪受训人员7年，以评估该计划对培训中期和长期目标的影响：追求研究生学习和HD研究事业（例如，攻读博士学位）和作为HD研究人员的成功（例如，研究金、演讲、出版物、赠款）。
