Research Training/Education Core

拟议的研究培训/教育核心包括旨在增加 参加生物医学和公共教育的少数族裔学生人数 与健康差距有关的健康教育方案和应用研究培训经验。 与拟议的研究核心重点一致，研究培训方案将侧重于 特别是在妇女健康差距方面。通过现有的德克萨斯健康中心开展工作 差异(TCHD)基础设施，研究培训/教育核心的具体目标是：1) 支持教师和社区利益攸关方在健康差距研究方面的专业发展 (2)为URM本科生提供更多的健康差距研究机会。TCHD 赞助一个成功的奖学金项目，通向学术研究的步骤(STAR)奖学金。这个 STAR奖学金是从2005年起作为我们机构出口中心活动的一个组成部分发展起来的- 2010年成立，并已成为联合国人权理事会少数群体教育和研究协调计划的核心内容。 它为从K-12到博士后阶段的少数族裔学生提供了独特的机会 培训以了解和参与健康差距、教育和研究。主要元素 我们提议的COE，将是续签、更新和扩大STAR联谊会。该计划将是 通过更广泛地纳入基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)培训和 将活动纳入计划课程，并通过开发社区成员进入明星轨道 奖学金计划。研究培训/教育计划将由何塞·A·帕根博士、哈丹·P·帕根博士领导。 琼斯和罗伯特·卡曼。这个领导团队将跨学科的研究和专业知识结合在一起 与CBPR有关的研究培训(异教徒和卡曼)，社会和行为科学方面的健康差距 (异教徒和卡曼)、生物医学(琼斯)、公共卫生法(卡曼)、保健管理和 卫生经济学(异教徒)和卫生政策(异教徒和卡曼)。与《公约》的具体目标一致 研究培训/教育核心，与研究和推广核心的广泛互动是 融入核心的所有活动。

The proposed Research Training/Education Core consists of programs and activities directed at increasing the number of students from underrepresented minority groups, who participate in biomedical and public health educational programs and applied research training experiences related to health disparities. Consistent with the proposed focus ofthe Research Core, the research training programs will focus specifically in the area of Women's Health Disparities. Working through the existing Texas Center for Health Disparities (TCHD) infrastructure, the specific aims ofthe Research Training/Education Core are: 1) to support the professional development of faculty and community stakeholders in health disparities research and (2) to enhance health disparities research opportunities for URM undergraduate students. The TCHD sponsors a successful fellowship program, the Steps Toward Academic Research (STAR) Fellowship. The STAR Fellowship was developed as a component of our institution's EXPORT Center activities from 2005 - 2010, and has become a centerpiece ofthe UNTHSC Coordinated Plan for minority education and research. It provides unique opportunities for underrepresented minority (URM) students from K-12 throughout postdoctorate training to learn about and engage in health disparities education and research. A primary element of our proposed COE, will be to renew, update, and expand the STAR Fellowship. The program will be expanded by more extensively incorporating Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) training and activities into the program curriculum, and by also developing a Community Fellows Track into the STAR Fellowship program. The Research Training/Education program will be led by Drs. Jose A. Pagan, Hadan P. Jones, and Robert Kaman. This leadership team bnngs together transdisciplinary expertise in research and research training related to CBPR (Pagan and Kaman), health disparities in social and behavioral sciences (Pagan and Kaman), biomedical sciences (Jones), public health law (Kaman), health care management and health economics (Pagan), and health policy (Pagan and Kaman). Consistent with the specific goals ofthe Research Training/Education Core, extensive interactions with the research and outreach cores are integrated into all activities ofthe core.
