项目摘要

Project Summary The long term objective of the Texas Minority Health, Education, Research and Outreach (Texas MiHERO) is to expand the capacity of University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) to enhance research and research training in minority health and health disparities by increasing the number of under-represented students in health disparity research, providing interdisciplinary research and leadership training to junior faculty, and increasing the number of health professional faculty involved in health disparity research. Given the substantial need for physicians, physician scientists, and other health professionals to care for vulnerable populations, and the critical need to study diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect these groups, more efforts are needed to increase the participation of individuals from diverse backgrounds in conducting research on minority health and health disparities, and encouraging them to consider careers in research and related fields. The Texas Center for Health Disparities (TCHD), a Center of Excellence funded by a P20 grant award from NIMHD will develop the MiHERO program to increase health disparity research capacity by increasing the size of the PhD workforce in health disparities, train junior faculty in interdisciplinary research leadership, and provide opportunities for senior investigators to develop research focus in minority health and health disparities. Three priority activities will be conducted under the MiHERO program:  Priority Activity 1: Develop an Interdisciplinary Research Leadership (IRL) Program for junior faculty in Minority Health and Health Disparities  Priority Activity 2: Establish a Health Education, Awareness and Research in Disparities Scholarship (HEARD Scholars) program for recruitment/retention of diverse faculty in Minority Health and Health Disparities.  Priority Activity 3: Increase the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce by recruiting a new cohort of PhD students from minority and underrepresented groups each year who focus on health disparities. Using the endowment funds secured through this mechanism of funding, we will ensure the creation of robust training opportunities that encourage participants of the proposed program to seek careers in research and related field that address the issue of health disparities. The impact of the endowment income will be establishment of a sustainable program in Minority Health and Health Disparities, including health disparity curricula for graduate students, a junior faculty development program that can be expanded to faculty from other institutions, and a cadre of health disparity researchers who have active research projects in the area of Minority Health and Health Disparities.

项目摘要德克萨斯州少数民族健康，教育，研究和外展（德克萨斯州Mihero）的长期目标是扩大北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心（UNTHSC）的能力以增强研究以及通过增加代表性不足的数量来进行少数民族健康和健康分配的研究培训健康差异研究的学生，为初级提供跨学科研究和领导力培训教师，增加参与健康差异研究的卫生专业教师的数量。给出对医生，身体科学家和其他卫生专业人员的巨大需求，以照顾脆弱人群，以及研究不成比例地影响这些群体的疾病和状况的迫切需求，需要更多的努力来增加潜水员背景的个人的参与研究少数民族健康和健康差异，并鼓励他们考虑研究和相关字段。德克萨斯健康差异中心（TCHD），由P20赠款资助的卓越中心 NIMHD的奖项将制定Mihero计划，以提高健康差异研究能力在健康差异方面增加了博士学位劳动力的规模，培训跨学科研究的初级教师领导力，并为高级研究人员提供机会，以发展少数民族健康的研究重点健康差异。 Mihero计划将进行三项优先活动： 优先活动1：为初级教师制定跨学科研究领导力（IRL）计划少数民族健康和健康差异 优先活动2：建立健康教育，意识和研究差异奖学金（听到的学者）招募/保留潜水员教师在少数民族健康与健康方面的计划差异。 优先活动3：增加生物医学，行为和临床研究人员的多样性每年招募来自少数族裔和代表性不足的团体的新的博士学位学生专注于健康差异。使用通过这种资金机制确保的捐赠资金，我们将确保创造强大的培训机会，鼓励拟议计划的参与者寻求研究职业和解决健康分布问题的相关领域。捐赠收入的影响将是建立在少数民族健康和健康差异方面的可持续计划，包括健康差异研究生的课程是一项初级教师发展计划，可以从其他机构以及在该领域拥有活跃研究项目的健康差异研究人员少数民族健康和健康差异。
