Research on Vulnerable Women, Children and Families

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是对弱势妇女，儿童和家庭研究培训的竞争性修订（T32 NR 007100;项目主任，玛丽莲·萨默斯）。宾夕法尼亚大学（Penn）护理学院父母补助金的总体目标是消除健康差异或患病率，死亡率和因性别，种族或民族，教育或收入，残疾，地理位置或性取向而发生的健康问题的影响差异。如果要实现消除健康差距的宏伟目标，就迫切需要培养出在跨学科团队中接受过培训的护士科学家，他们可以用先进的方法，分析技术和技术进行研究。我们在竞争性修订的主要目标是准备科学家，以促进弱势妇女，儿童和家庭的健康，通过技术的“有意义的使用”。对母应用程序的此修订的性质是提供 两个博士预科，硕士到博士的学生进入博士课程与学士学位与前两年的博士研究训练。该计划将帮助他们在成熟的T32培训计划中在跨学科的科学环境中发展职业生涯。在名为“跨学科方法，分析技术和技术（STIMULATE）学者培训”的项目中，我们建议加强致力于使用基于技术生物学模型的先进跨学科方法来回答复杂的临床和基础研究问题的研究人员数量。我们的项目有四个主要目标：1）通过跨学科的透镜并使用生物和行为措施来研究导致健康差异的多系统因素; 2）发展新兴健康信息技术的专业知识，以筛查人员;支持自我管理战略;提供文化上敏感的、基于证据的干预措施;并衡量结果，以减少妇女，儿童和家庭的健康差距; 3）在各种学科，如药理学，生理学，生物化学，工程学，数字成像科学，重症监护和地理/制图学的团队进行培训;（4）通过在弱势群体中有意义地使用现有和新兴技术以及生物测量，促进研究的道德行为。 公共卫生相关性：公共卫生相关性声明该计划，学者培训跨学科方法，分析技术和技术（刺激），将准备护士科学家的知识和技能，以有意义的方式使用技术。STIMULATE培训生将通过研究努力改善弱势妇女、儿童和家庭的健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a Competitive Revision to Research Training on Vulnerable Women, Children, and Families (T32NR007100; Program Director, Marilyn Sommers). The overall goal of the parent grant at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) School of Nursing is to eliminate health disparities or differences in prevalence, mortality and impact of health problems that occur by gender, race or ethnicity, education or income, disability, geographic location, or sexual orientation. If the ambitious goal of eliminating health disparities is to be met, there is a critical need to produce nurse scientist trained within interdisciplinary teams who can implement studies with advanced methods, analytic techniques, and technologies. Our primary objective in the Competitive Revision is to prepare scientists to promote health in vulnerable women, children, and families through the "meaningful use" of technology. The nature of this revision to the parent application is to provide two pre-doctoral, MS to PhD students entering the PhD program with a baccalaureate degree with the first two years of doctoral research training. The program will help them to develop careers in an interdisciplinary scientific milieu within a mature T32 training program. In the program, entitled Scholars Training in Interdisciplinary Methods, Analytic Techniques, and Technologies (STIMULATE), we propose to strengthen the numbers of researchers dedicated to using advanced, interdisciplinary approaches based on a techno-biological model to answer complex clinical and basic research questions. Our project has four primary aims for the trainees: 1) To study multi-system factors that contribute to health disparities through an interdisciplinary lens and using biological and behavioral measures; 2) To develop expertise in emerging health information technology to screen persons; support self- management strategies; deliver culturally-responsive, evidence-based interventions; and measure outcomes to reduce health disparities in women, children, and families; 3) To train with teams in a variety of disciplines such as pharmacology, physiology, biochemistry, engineering, digital imaging science, critical care, and geography/cartography; and 4) To foster the ethical conduct of research with the meaningful use of existing and emerging technology and biological measurement in vulnerable populations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Public Health Relevance Statement The program, Scholars Training in Interdisciplinary Methods, Analytic Techniques, and Technologies (STIMULATE), will prepare nurse scientists with the knowledge and skills to use technology in a meaningful way. STIMULATE trainees will work to improve the health of vulnerable women, children, and families through research.
