Rehabilitative and Regenerative Medicine for Minority Health & Health Disparities

描述(由申请人提供)：这一新的申请寻求NICHD继续教育培训计划(T15)的赞助，以创新的高级计划，名为‘康复和再生医学的少数民族健康和健康差距([RMH]2D)，以培训和指导有前途的内科科学家和其他研究人员在康复研究中的尖端技术。[RMH]2D(发音为’补救‘)提供动态培训，提供一系列新的每日讲师的新兴概念，延长讨论，实验室研究，研讨会和非正式研讨会在为期一周的时间，然后每年的研讨会晚餐在科学会议/大会上。主要目标是每年为16名新独立的研究人员开发以实验室为基础的高强度培训，教育他们关于中枢神经系统和骨骼肌肉康复的再生研究战略，并帮助启动和维持他们的职业生涯。这些课程在霍华德(一年级)、莫尔豪斯(二年级)和梅里(三年级)开设，由匹兹堡的Gerald Schatten博士和霍华德的教务长James Wyche博士、莫尔豪斯的温斯顿·汤普森博士和梅哈里的Ayman Al-Hendy医学博士和博士艾曼·亨迪共同指导。四个目标是：i.提供关于非裔美国人社区流行疾病的复杂方法的概念教育和实验培训；ii.促进所有课程参与者就目前招募和留住最有才华的研究人员的障碍进行坦率和有意义的对话，以实现NIH研究人员的充分多样化；iii.教育参与者关于研究中的少数群体健康差距、伦理、社会和法律影响(ELSI)以及[RMH]2D调查发生的监管环境，以便受训者能够以最道德和负责任的方式开始他们自己的研究计划，避免不必要的陷阱和延误；四.鼓励学员度过职业生涯中最脆弱的阶段并增强他们的能力，全面和纵向地监测和跟踪他们的成就，以确保这些宝贵的资金能够被证明是明智的、具有成本效益的和富有成效的投资。总体而言，NICHD继续教育培训计划的目的是提供关于生物工程、细胞、分子和遗传方法的全面和复杂的培训和最先进的方法，以促进康复和再生医学的前沿，纠正少数民族健康和健康差距。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new application seeks NICHD Continuing Education Training Program (T15) sponsorship for an innovative advanced program entitled 'Rehabilitative and Regenerative Medicine for Minority Health and Health Disparities ([RMH]2D) to train and mentor promising physician-scientists and other researchers from predominately underrepresented communities in sophisticated technologies in rehabilitation research. [RMH]2D (pronounced 'remedy') offers dynamic training that provides a fresh series of daily lecturers on emerging concepts, extended discussion, laboratory research, workshops and informal seminars over week-long periods, followed by an annual symposium dinner at a scientific meeting/congress. The primary aim is the development of an intense laboratory-based training for 16 newly independent investigators per year to educate them on regeneration research strategies for CNS and skeletal-muscular rehabilitation, and to help launch and sustain their careers. The courses are offered at Howard (years 1), Morehouse (year 2) and Meharry (year 3), under the overall directorship of Gerald Schatten, Ph.D., from Pittsburgh along with Howard's Provost James Wyche, Ph.D., Winston Thompson, Ph.D. from Morehouse and Ayman Al-Hendy, M.D., Ph.D. from Meharry. The four aims are to: I. Provide conceptual education and experimental training in the sophisticated methods focused on diseases prevalent in African-American communities; II. Foster candid and meaningful conversations among all course participants regarding current barriers to the recruitment and retention of the most talented researchers to achieve full diversification of NIH's research workforce; III. Educate participants on minority health disparities in research, the ethical, social and legal implications (ELSI), and the regulatory landscape in which [RMH]2D investigations occur, so that trainees may begin their own research programs in the most ethical and responsible manner and avoid needless pitfalls and delays; IV. Encourage and empower the course participants through the most fragile stages of their careers as well as monitor and track their achievements comprehensively and longitudinally to ensure that these precious funds can be demonstrated to be wise, cost-effective and fruitful investments. Overall, the purpose of this NICHD Continuing Education Training Program is to provide comprehensive and sophisticated training and state-of-the-art methods on bioengineering, cellular, molecular and genetic approaches for advancing the Frontiers in Rehabilitative and Regenerative Medicine for rectifying Minority Health and Health Disparities.
