DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Given the prevalence of health disparities resulting from geographic location, income, and race/ethnicity; the lack of research on health promotion in racial and ethnic minorities; and the paucity of nurses and nurse scientists among racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S., it is critical to focus efforts on expanding the preparation of nurses and nurse scientists from minority populations and on expanding research aimed at improving health and health care. The proposed Southwest Partnership Center for Nursing Research on Health Disparities (SWPC) will focus on health disparities in rural, low-income, Mexican-American, and/or American-Indian populations. Specific aims are 1) Establish the Southwest Partnership Center for Nursing Research on Health Disparities within the formal structure of the School of Nursing at The University of Texas at Austin and the formal structure of the Department of Nursing in the minority-serving institution of New Mexico State University; 2) Build capacity for nursing research on health disparities experienced by populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian by increasing the number of nurse researchers in the two partnering institutions conducting studies within a health promotion framework; 3) Increase the number and quality of studies by nursing faculty and undergraduate and graduate students in the partnering institutions that focus on reducing or eliminating health disparities among populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian within a health promotion framework; 4) Enhance the research career development of minority nurse investigators, including undergraduate and graduate nursing students and faculty at both partnering institutions, with particular emphasis on addressing minority health and health disparities among populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian using a health promotion framework; and 5) increase the number of research projects proposed by nursing faculty and students in the partnering institutions that involve interdisciplinary collaboration and that focus on reducing health disparities among populations that are rural, low-income, Mexican American, or American Indian within a health promotion framework.

描述（由申请人提供）：考虑到由地理位置，收入和种族/种族造成的健康差异的流行；缺乏关于种族和少数民族健康促进健康的研究；在美国种族和少数民族中，护士和护士科学家的匮乏，将精力集中在扩大护士和护士科学家的准备方面至关重要，从而扩大旨在改善健康和卫生保健的研究。拟议的西南健康差异护理研究中心（SWPC）将重点关注农村，低收入，墨西哥裔美国人和/或美洲印度人口的健康差异。具体目的是1）建立西南伙伴关系研究中心在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的护理学院正式结构内的健康差异研究中心，以及新墨西哥州立大学少数民族服务学会的护理部正式结构； 2）通过增加在两个促进健康促进框架内进行研究的伙伴研究机构中的护士研究人员的数量，以增加农村，低收入墨西哥裔美国人或美洲印第安人的人口的健康差异来建立护理能力； 3）增加伙伴机构的护理学院和本科生和研究生的研究数量和质量，这些机构着重于减少或消除健康促进框架中农村，低收入墨西哥裔美国人或美洲印第安人的人口中的健康差异； 4）加强少数族裔护士调查人员的研究职业发展，包括两家合作机构的本科生和研究生护理学生以及教职员工，特别着重于解决农村，低收入，墨西哥裔美国人或使用健康促进框架的农村，低收入墨西哥裔，墨西哥裔美国人或美洲印第安人之间的少数族裔健康和健康差异； 5）增加涉及跨学科合作的护理学院和学生提出的研究项目的数量，并着重于减少在健康促进框架内的农村，低收入墨西哥裔美国人，墨西哥裔美国人或美洲印第安人的人群之间的健康差异。
