Health Disparities Research Scholars Training Program-Renewal

项目摘要/摘要 美国的健康差距很大，而且根深蒂固，在生命早期就开始了，而且经常持续 在整个生命过程中。健康差距研究学者计划是一个跨学科的博士后项目 位于威斯康星大学学院人口健康科学系的培训计划 医学与公共卫生系。它旨在支持健康差距研究人员的职业发展 它有两个主要目标：1)培养一支研究队伍，他们将致力于促进对 少数民族人群早期经历的健康差距的原因、后果和有效缓解 在生命过程中和整个生命过程中；以及2)吸引、保持和支持发展一套多样化的健康 差异研究人员开始致力于改善健康公平的研究生涯。要实现 为了实现这些目标，我们将积极招募一支致力于健康差距事业的多元化学者干部队伍 研究并为他们提供两三年的培训和支持。我们将从博士学位中招聘 计划的学者准备建立在他们的研究生学科的方法上，跨越边界，和 借鉴其他领域的内容、理论和方法。我们已经组建了一个特殊的、多样化的核心 拥有医学、人口健康、社会/行为和基础科学专业知识的教职员工。一共有五个 培训计划的培训部分：i.多学科指导团队；ii.健康差距周刊 研究学者研讨会和参加校园其他活动的机会；课程作业、工作坊和 可选学位课程；iv.有指导的研究；以及V.专业发展活动。通过这件事 跨学科培训计划，我们将建立关键能力并提供专业指导，以促进 我国学者作为独立的健康差距研究人员取得了成功。将跟踪奖学金获得者活动 通过季度进度报告、一年两次的指导团队会议以及对每个项目的年度正式评估 学者。这些评估将使计划主任和指导团队能够提供及时的指导和 确定确保工作效率和实现职业目标的策略。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Health disparities in the United States are large and historically rooted, begin early in life, and often persist throughout the life course. The Health Disparities Research Scholars Program is an interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program located in the Department of Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. It is designed to support the career development of health disparities researchers and has two primary goals: 1) to develop a cadre of researchers who will work to advance knowledge of the causes, consequences, and effective mitigation of disparities in health experienced by minority populations early in and throughout the life course; and 2) to attract, retain, and support the development of a diverse set of health disparities investigators as they embark on research careers dedicated to improving health equity. To achieve these goals, we will actively recruit a diverse cadre of scholars who are committed to careers in health disparities research and provide them with two or three years of training and support. We will recruit from doctorate programs scholars who are ready to build on the methods of their graduate disciplines, cross boundaries, and draw from content, theory, and methods of other fields. We have assembled an exceptional and diverse core faculty with expertise across medical, population health, social/behavioral, and basic sciences. There are five training components to the training program: i. a multidisciplinary mentor team; ii. a weekly Health Disparities Research Scholars seminar and the opportunity to attend others on campus; iii. coursework, workshops, and optional degree programs; iv. mentored research; and v. professional development activities. Through this interdisciplinary training program, we will build key competencies and provide professional mentoring to facilitate the success of our scholars as independent health disparities researchers. Scholar activities will be tracked through quarterly progress reports, biannual mentor team meetings, and an annual formal evaluation of each scholar. These assessments will enable the Program Director and mentor team to provide timely guidance and identify strategies to ensure productivity and achievement of career goals.
