Training in Chronic Illness Research in Florida and Europe

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的目的是在迈阿密的佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）实施少数民族国际研究培训计划。护理学院将与芬兰坦佩雷大学的外国护理学院合作;意大利罗马大学“La Sapienza”;和德国的维滕/埃尔德克私立大学，为少数民族护理本科生和研究生提供国际研究培训，重点是关于差异护理的临床研究慢性病患者及其家人的健康状况（国家目标一、二，2010年健康人群）。学生将成为一个教师研究团队的一部分，在慢性病护理的健康差距领域内选择感兴趣的主题，并继续在欧洲国家与国际导师学习。学生将参加额外的研究课程，重点是研究行为，文化和健康，技能发展，态度，团队角色以及研究的基本原理。他们还将了解其他国家，其文化，以及病人和家庭的健康需求。一旦被选中，他们将在目前的教育计划中接受研究指导。他们将积极参与研究团队，并通过出版物和演讲促进合作研究的传播，以促进研究事业。在四年的赠款，我们计划招募和指导19名本科生和6名研究生。各种方法将有助于实现这些目标：个人指导关系和在国际上和金融情报室进行研究、研究活动小组、课程分配、传播项目和项目评价。最终，改善对健康差异人群中慢性病患者及其家属的护理可以从导师教师的密集研究中获得，他们擅长促进文化学生的卓越表现。该项目将为我们的FIU少数民族学生做好研究准备，其中80%的本科生和61%的护理专业学生具有种族多样性，并且居住在健康差异显著的佛罗里达。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to implement a Minority International Research Training Program at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, FL. Nursing faculty will partner with foreign nursing faculty at the University of Tampere, Finland; University "La Sapienza" Rome, Italy; and the Private University of Witten/Herdecke, Germany, to provide minority undergraduate and graduate nursing students with international research training focused on clinical research about disparities care of chronic illness patients and their families (National Goals I, II, Healthy People 2010). Students will become part of a faculty research team, choose a topic of interest within the area of health disparity in chronic illness care, and continue their study in a European country with an international mentor. Students will take additional research courses focused on research conduct, culture and health, skill development, attitudes, team roles, and the rationale underlying the research. They will also learn about the other country, its culture, and health needs of ill patients and families. They will be mentored in research throughout their current educational program, once they are selected. They will participate actively in the research team and contribute to dissemination of the collaborative research through publications and presentations toward promotion of a research career. Over the four years of the grant, we plan to recruit and mentor 19 undergraduate students and six graduate students. A variety of methods will help achieve these goals: the individual mentoring relationship and conduct of research both internationally and at FIU, a research activity group, course assignments, dissemination projects and project evaluation. Ultimately, improved care of chronically ill patients and their families in populations of health disparities can result from intensive research exposure from mentor faculty, skilled with promoting excellence in students of culture. This project will prepare our FIU minority students in research, where 80% of the undergraduate and 61% of the nursing students are of ethnic diversity and live in Florida where health disparities are significant.
