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）以及其他未被充分代表的种族和少数民族（UREM）作为健康和健康差异研究的调查员。然而，很少有AIAN或UREM的研究人员获得了调查员的身份或获得了联邦资助。拟议的培训核心研究将通过培养一批训练有素的由美国国立卫生研究院资助的AIAN和UREM研究科学家，致力于建立具有文化基础并能够改善印度国家健康差距的研究，从而为公共卫生作出贡献。研究培训和教育核心（RTEC）在未来5年的具体目标是：1)发展RTEC教师和领导，角色和培训程序，包括RTEC教师和员工活动的协调；建立和维护所有RTEC部门、伙伴关系和培训活动；落实区域技术中心的日常作用以及各项政策和程序；2)扩大和加强卫生差异研究培训活动，使卫生差异研究中心的卫生差异研究培训活动为从事土著卫生和卫生差异研究的工作做好准备；3)制定与文化相关的卫生差异研究证书课程，提供关于前沿概念模型的跨学科培训；针对学生、教师和社区合作伙伴的研究方法和伦理研究实践，4)传播并将教育和培训材料转化为更广泛的科学界、从业者和社区成员的研究政策和实践指南，5)评估实现培训目标的进展。该提案通过建立在土著健康研究所（IWRl）和华盛顿大学（UW）建立的以土著为中心的成功培训项目的基础上，解决了基础设施问题。区域技术中心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。具体而言，RTEC核心将创建并容纳4个研究培训部门：(1)K-12管道计划部门；(2)本科培训部；（三）研究生培训司；(4)博士后与教师发展司。RTEC还将制定和实施一系列新的项目和培训活动，以支持新兴的亚洲学者和其他亚洲学者，同时还将在西澳大学建立以本土为重点的项目，以接收和留住亚洲学者和其他亚洲学者。

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.
