Research Training/Edcuation Core

美国国立卫生研究院呼吁增加美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民(AIAN)和其他代表性不足的种族和少数民族(UREM)的代表性，作为健康和健康差距研究的调查人员。然而，很少有AIAN或UREM的研究人员获得调查人员地位或获得联邦资助。拟议的培训核心研究将通过培养一支训练有素的NIH资助的AIAN和UREM研究科学家队伍来促进公共卫生，致力于建立具有文化基础并能够改善印度农村健康差距的研究。未来5年研究、培训和教育核心(RTEC)的具体目标是：1)发展RTEC的教职员工和领导力、角色和培训程序，包括协调RTEC教职员工的活动；建立和维持RTEC的所有部门、伙伴关系和培训活动；这些活动包括：1)扩大和实施健康差距研究中心的日常角色以及政策和程序；2)扩大和加强IWR1的健康差距研究培训活动，使AIAN和来自其他经历健康差距的社区的学生和教职员工做好准备，从事土著健康和健康差距研究；3)制定与文化相关的健康差距研究证书计划，为学生、教师和社区合作伙伴提供关于尖端概念模型、研究方法和伦理研究实践的跨学科培训；4)传播教育和培训材料，并将其转化为研究政策和实践指南，供更广泛的科学界、从业者和社区成员使用；5)评估朝着培训目标的进展情况。这项提案通过在土著健康研究所(IWRL)和华盛顿大学(UW)已有的成功的以土著为中心的培训方案的工作基础上解决基础设施问题。区域经济共同体将加强并积极将这些方案联系起来，形成一个有凝聚力的网络。具体地说，RTEC核心将设立和容纳4个研究培训司：(1)K-12渠道倡议司；(2)本科生培训司；(3)研究生培训司；(4)博士后和学院发展司。RTEC还将开发和实施一系列新的计划和培训活动，以支持新兴的AIAN和其他UREM学者，同时也建设华盛顿大学以本地为重点的课程接收和留住AIAN和其他UREM学生和教职员工的能力。

NIH has issued calls to increase the representation of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) and other underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (UREM) as investigators for health and health disparities research. However, few AIAN or UREM researchers have attained Investigators status or received federal funding. The proposed training Core research will contribute to the public health by developing a cadre of highly trained NIH-funded AIAN and UREM research scientists dedicated to building research that is culturally grounded and capable of ameliorating health disparities in Indian Country. The specific aims of the Research Training and Education Core (RTEC) in the next 5 years are to: 1) develop RTEC faculty and leadership, roles, and training procedures including coordination of RTEC faculty and staff activities; establishing and maintaining all RTEC Divisions, partnerships, and training activities; and operationalizing day-to-day roles of the RTEC as well as policies and procedures, 2) expand and enhance the health disparities research training activities at IWRl to prepare AIAN and students and faculty from other communities experiencing health disparities for careers in Indigenous health and health disparities research, 3) develop a certificate program in culturally relevant health disparities research that provides interdisciplinary training on cutting edge conceptual models, research methods, and ethical research practices for students, faculty, and community partners, 4) disseminate and translate educational and training materials into research policy and practice guidelines for the broader scientific community, as well as practitioners and community members, and 5) evaluate progress toward training aims. This proposal addresses infrastructure issues by building on the work of established successful Native-centered training programs at the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRl) and the University of Washington (UW). The RTEC will strengthen and actively link these programs as a cohesive network. Specifically, the RTEC core will create and house 4 research training divisions: (1) Division of K-12 Pipeline Initiatives; (2) Division of Undergraduate Training; (3) Division of Graduate Training; and (4) Division of Post-Doctoral and Faculty Development. The RTEC will also develop and implement a host of new programs and training activities to support emerging AIAN and other UREM scholars while also building the capacity of Native-focused programs at UW to receive and retain AIAN and other UREM students and faculty.
