DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Abstract: The objective of the Health Disparities Research Scholars Training Program (HDRS) is to provide training at the postdoctoral level in interdisciplinary research that addresses disparities in health status and health outcomes among minority populations as well as to recruit underrepresented minorities into academic research careers. We believe that integrating biomedical sciences, public health sciences, and sociocultural and behavioral sciences are prerequisite to addressing the linkages of macro-societal levels of being with pathogenesis of disease so important in addressing health disparities. Thus, the HDRS Training Program provides interdisciplinary and multifaceted opportunities for research that includes not only biomedical and behavioral sciences, but also investigation into quality of care, including cost, access and satisfaction with services; the causes of and barriers to reducing health disparities; attitudes towards health, language spoken, educational level, community profile and socioeconomic status; identification of assessment measures for outcomes, quality and appropriateness of health care services. The NIH and IOM call for greater diversity in the research workforce as a means to address health disparities. Attracting minorities from various disciplines such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, sociologists, social workers, and nutritionists, into academic research careers will help in this endeavor. To address not only the broad array of research areas outlined above but also the interdisciplinary nature of the possible candidates, the faculty is interdisciplinary and consists f physician scientists, perinatal researchers, sociologists, nurse scientists, nutritional scientists epidemiologists and economists. To promote interdisciplinary research and disciplinary cross training, we will provide two mentors for each Scholar, balancing the biomedical/basic science and behavioral/demography and epidemiology approaches to address health disparities. This will increase the likelihood that both the Scholars and mentors will be crossed trained. We also will train HDRS trainees in the techniques of Community Based Participatory Research. With funding from the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award and the UW Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, we have an infrastructure in place to support the program. The HDRS Program will influence and redirect the enormous intellectual capacity that exists on the UW- Madison campus toward addressing health disparities. Since retention of minorities in academic careers is essential, we are committed to making the environment supportive, academically rewarding, culturally enriching and professionally satisfying.

描述（由申请人提供）：摘要：健康差异研究学者培训计划（HDRS）的目标是提供跨学科研究的博士后水平的培训，解决少数民族人口健康状况和健康结果的差异，以及招募代表性不足的少数民族进入学术研究生涯。我们认为，整合生物医学科学，公共卫生科学，社会文化和行为科学是解决宏观社会层面与疾病发病机制之间联系的先决条件，这对解决健康差距至关重要。因此，HDRS培训方案为研究提供了跨学科和多方面的机会，不仅包括生物医学和行为科学，而且还包括对护理质量的调查，包括费用、获得服务的机会和对服务的满意度;减少健康差距的原因和障碍;对健康的态度、语言、教育水平、社区概况和社会经济地位;确定评估保健服务的结果、质量和适当性的措施。美国国立卫生研究院和国际移民组织呼吁在研究队伍中实现更大的多样性，以解决健康差距。吸引来自不同学科的少数民族，如医生，护士，药剂师，社会学家，社会工作者和营养学家，进入学术研究生涯将有助于这一奋进。不仅要解决上述广泛的研究领域，而且要解决可能的候选人的跨学科性质，该学院是跨学科的，由医生科学家，围产期研究人员，社会学家，护士科学家，营养科学家流行病学家和经济学家组成。为了促进跨学科研究和学科交叉培训，我们将为每位学者提供两名导师，平衡生物医学/基础科学和行为/人口学和流行病学方法，以解决健康差距。这将增加学者和导师交叉培训的可能性。我们还将培训HDRS学员在社区为基础的实证研究的技术。在NIH临床和转化科学奖以及UW临床和转化研究所的资助下，我们有一个支持该计划的基础设施。HDRS计划将影响和重定向存在于UW-麦迪逊校园的巨大智力能力，以解决健康差距。由于保留少数族裔在学术生涯中至关重要，我们致力于使环境具有支持性、学术回报、文化丰富和专业满足。
