Rehabilitative and Regenerative Medicine for Minority Health & Health Disparities

描述（由申请人提供）：这个新的申请寻求NICHD继续教育培训计划（T15）赞助一个名为“少数民族健康和健康差距的康复和再生医学”（[RMH]2D）的创新高级项目，以培训和指导来自主要代表性不足的社区的有前途的医生科学家和其他研究人员在康复研究的复杂技术方面。[RMH]2D（发音为‘remedy’）提供动态培训，提供一系列新的日常讲师，涉及新兴概念、扩展讨论、实验室研究、讲习班和非正式研讨会，为期一周，随后在科学会议/大会上举行年度研讨会晚宴。其主要目标是每年为16名新独立的研究人员提供以实验室为基础的密集培训，以教育他们中枢神经系统和骨骼肌肉康复的再生研究策略，并帮助他们开展和维持职业生涯。这些课程分别在霍华德大学（一年级）、莫尔豪斯学院（二年级）和梅哈里大学（三年级）开设，由匹兹堡大学的Gerald Schatten博士、霍华德大学教务长James Wyche博士、莫尔豪斯大学的Winston Thompson博士和梅哈里大学的Ayman Al-Hendy医学博士共同负责。这四个目标是：1 .提供以非洲裔美国人社区流行疾病为重点的先进方法的概念教育和实验培训；2。促进所有课程参与者就目前招聘和留住最有才华的研究人员的障碍进行坦诚和有意义的对话，以实现NIH研究人员的充分多样化；3。教育参与者了解研究中的少数民族健康差异、伦理、社会和法律影响（ELSI）以及[RMH]2D调查发生时的监管环境，以便学员能够以最合乎道德和负责任的方式开始自己的研究方案，避免不必要的陷阱和延误；四、在学员职业生涯最脆弱的阶段给予鼓励和授权，并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证明是明智、具有成本效益和富有成效的投资。总的来说，NICHD继续教育培训计划的目的是提供全面而复杂的培训和生物工程，细胞，分子和遗传方法的最先进方法，以推进康复和再生医学的前沿，以纠正少数民族的健康和健康差距。

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.
