DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brown University Global Health Initiative requests support for the Brown University Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training Grant (Brown MHIRT). The goal of this proposed program is to mentor undergraduates and graduate students from underrepresented communities to pursue careers in biomedical sciences by providing exposure and training in global health programs and global health research. Currently, the Brown University Global Health Initiative (GHI) sponsors 20 undergraduate and graduate students to participate in global health research in medically underserved communities around the world. GHI includes an orientation program that reviews cultural competence, clinical research, safety, the nature of international research collaborations, and biomedical ethics in global context. GHI also sponsors a yearly global health research day to provide a venue for students to present their global health research. This proposed program will allow the Global Health Initiative to support an additional 10 trainees from underrepresented communities (8 undergraduate students and 2 graduate students) who have completed at least two years of coursework in a major related to medicine, public health or social and behavioral health sciences. This proposed project will also support development of a full course in global health prior to the summer immersion in global health and mentoring in health-related research after the summer immersion in global health. These 10 trainees will participate with the 20 students who are currently supported through the Global Health Initiative. 12 Brown faculty members with strong track records in global health research will mentor these students at seven global sites, including Kenya, Ghana, India, the Philippines, China and Ukraine. They will also have on site mentors from these countries. This opportunity will also allow Brown to expand its 49-year partnership with the Historically Black College, Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. Tougaloo College and Brown University have worked collaboratively for over four decades to enhance the educational opportunities for undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds, particularly African Americans. (1) Two Tougaloo trainees will participate in all aspects of this training each year, including the fully accredited course using distance learning, the 10 week global health experience, and the year-long intensive mentoring period after the field experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：布朗大学全球健康倡议请求支持布朗大学少数民族健康和健康差异国际研究培训补助金（布朗MHIRT）。该计划的目标是指导来自代表性不足的社区的本科生和研究生，通过提供全球健康计划和全球健康研究的曝光和培训，从事生物医学科学的职业。目前，布朗大学全球健康倡议（GHI）赞助20名本科生和研究生参加全球健康研究在世界各地的医疗服务不足的社区。GHI包括一个指导计划，审查文化能力，临床研究，安全性，国际研究合作的性质，以及全球背景下的生物医学伦理。GHI还赞助每年的全球健康研究日，为学生提供一个展示他们的全球健康研究的场所。这项拟议的方案将使全球卫生倡议能够支持另外10名来自代表性不足社区的受训人员（8名本科生和2名研究生），他们已经完成了至少两年的医学、公共卫生或社会和行为健康科学专业课程。这一拟议项目还将支持在夏季全球卫生沉浸式学习之前编制一个全面的全球卫生课程，并在夏季全球卫生沉浸式学习之后提供与卫生有关的研究方面的辅导。这10名受训人员将与目前通过全球卫生倡议获得支助的20名学生一起参加。布朗大学的12名教师在全球卫生研究方面有着良好的记录，他们将在肯尼亚、加纳、印度、菲律宾、中国和乌克兰等七个全球地点指导这些学生。他们还将有来自这些国家的现场导师。这个机会也将使布朗扩大其与历史上的黑人学院，图加洛学院在杰克逊，密西西比49年的合作关系。Tougaloo学院和布朗大学已经合作了四十多年，以提高来自代表性不足的背景，特别是非洲裔美国人的本科生的教育机会。(1)每年将有两名Tougaloo学员参加该培训的各个方面，包括使用远程学习的完全认证课程，为期10周的全球健康体验，以及实地体验后为期一年的强化辅导期。
