Luna International Indigenous Health Research Training Program

美洲土著居民（即，美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民[AIAN];土著拉丁人 美国人-印第安人），夏威夷人（夏威夷土著-Kanaka 'martiwi）和美国太平洋领土（例如， tagata Sāmoa）和尼泊尔（Adivasi Janajati）在持续和可怕的 健康差距。尽管存在如此明显的差异，但缺乏基于文化的研究 解决他们的生物医学和社会行为健康问题。一个强大的网络， 致力于文化相关研究的土著学者将有助于改善健康差距 在IP中。这一新申请是为了响应RFA-MD-18-007“NIMHD少数民族健康和健康” 差异研究培训（MHRT）计划（T37），旨在发展月球计划：国际 土著卫生研究培训方案，一个为期12周的国际卫生研究培训机会， 拉丁美洲（秘鲁和危地马拉）、尼泊尔和夏威夷，45名合格的博士和博士后受训人员 在生物医学和社会行为研究领域，知识产权的代表性历来不足。 Luna计划建立在我们的Mahina计划（T37）的成功基础上，最初是通过三方开发的。 华盛顿大学、奥克兰大学和夏威夷大学的合作伙伴关系。这个新 应用将我们的努力扩展到拉丁美洲（危地马拉和秘鲁）、南亚（尼泊尔）和 夏威夷/大洋洲，重点培养博士和博士后学员。实现整体 月球MHRT的目标，我们将选择9博士前和博士后学生每年超过5年 谁将参加一个结构化的国际12周的指导夏季研究培训计划，其中包括： (1)在土著健康研究所举办为期5天的情况介绍和研究培训班， 华盛顿大学，随后是为期10周的国际暑期研究培训（ISRT）计划， 东道国和相关的社区研究地点;（2）由一个 具有社会、文化和历史方面专门知识的国家遗址指导员和导师的国际网络 土著人健康和健康差距的决定因素，CBPR，土著人道德和研究协议， 和土著研究方法;（3）与Preceptors和现场进行基于社区的研究 导师谁将提供监督实地研究的经验和影子的机会;（4）为期4天的补助金 发展和写作研讨会，以产生一个国家卫生研究院赠款建议和出版物的基础上，外国 国家研究培训经验;（5）为发展中国家提供行政、编辑和技术援助 会议报告和写作手稿出版;（6）全年多学科学习 通过研讨会系列，网络研讨会和在国内机构的演讲机会;（7）访问网站， Listserv，以促进相关研究、信息和机会的共享;（8）一个过程 评估该计划，以确定其成功的关键因素。

Indigenous populations (IP) of the Americas (i.e., American Indians/Alaska Natives [AIAN]; Indigenous Latin Americans- pueblos Indígenas), the Hawaiian (Native Hawaiian-Kanaka ‘Ōiwi) and US Pacific Territories (e.g., tagata Sāmoa), and Nepal (Adivasi Janajati) share a troubling commonality with respect to persistent and dire health disparities. Despite such glaring disparities, there is a paucity of culturally grounded research addressing their biomedical and socio-behavioral health concerns. A strong network of highly trained Indigenous scholars dedicated to culturally relevant research would contribute to ameliorating health disparities among IP. This new application, in response to RFA-MD-18-007 “NIMHD Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Training (MHRT) Program (T37),” is designed to develop the Luna Program: International Indigenous Health Research Training Program an international 12-week health research training opportunity in Latin America (Peru & Guatemala), Nepal, and in Hawai’i to 45 qualified doctoral and post-doctoral trainees from IP who have been historically underrepresented in biomedical and sociobehavioral research careers.The Luna program builds on the success of our Mahina Program (T37), originally developed through a tripartite partnership of the UW, University of Auckland, and University of Hawai’I for undergraduate IP. This new application extends our efforts into Latin America (Guatemala and Peru), South Asia (Nepal), and Hawai’i/Oceania with a focused approach to training doctoral and post-doctoral trainees. To achieve the overall objectives of the Luna MHRT, we will select 9 pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students per year over 5 years who will undergo a structured international 12-week mentored summer research training program that includes: (1) a 5-day orientation and research training institute at the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute at the University of Washington, followed by a 10-week International Summer Research Training (ISRT) program at the host country and associated community-based research sites; (2) supervision and training by an international network of country site Preceptors and mentors with expertise in social, cultural, and historical determinants of Indigenous health and health disparities, CBPR, Indigenous ethics and research protocols, and Indigenous research methodologies; (3) community-based research exposure with Preceptors and on-site mentors who will provide supervised field research experiences and shadowing opportunities; (4) a 4-day grant development and writing workshop to produce a NIH grant proposal and publication based on the foreign country research training experience; (5) administrative, editorial, and technical assistance for developing conference presentations and writing manuscripts for publication; (6) year-round multidisciplinary learning opportunities via seminar series, webinars, and presentations at home institutions; (7) access to a website and listserv to facilitate the sharing of relevant research, information, and opportunities; and, (8) a process evaluation of the program to identify factors key to its success.
