项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific aims of this project are to: (1.) Encourage ten undergraduate, graduate and health professions students who are from health disparities populations to pursue careers in basic science, biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health research fields; (2) Broaden the training of these students from health disparities populations to encompass international health issues; (3) Assist these students to participate in collaborative research initiatives with U.S. and international faculty; and, (4) Seek innovative approaches to address problems and/or hindrances associated with closing health disparities gaps. Using the combined resources of the University of Iowa's Initiative for Minority Student Development Program (Iowa Biosciences Advantage program) and the university's Center for International Rural and Environmental Health we will offer a program of 10-12-week short-term international research training opportunities for qualified eligible students each summer for five years. The Iowa Biosciences Advantage program will be a feeder program to identify eligible undergraduate students. Eight trainees will be undergraduate students and two will be graduate or professional students and all will be from populations that are underrepresented in the basic sciences, biomedical, clinical or behavioral research career Fields. MHIRT trainees will be offered research training opportunities at foreign institutions in Poland, Slovakia, Romania, China, and The Gambia, where we have collaborative relationships that have been developed over the last thirteen years through a Fogarty International Center training and research grant. These countries in Central/Eastern Europe present excellent opportunities to learn about issues related to health disparities populations. We will use new capabilities in Information and Communications Technology to assist in matching, monitoring, and evaluating trainees' international research training experiences in these countries. In this proposed program, MHIRT training is viewed as part of a comprehensive program of nurturing and developing individuals from health disparities populations to become productive biomedical and behavioral health researchers. RELEVANCE: Because of significant disparities in disease incidence, disease prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and survival rates in health disparities populations, as compared to the health status of the general population, there is a national need to increase the number of well-trained scientists from health disparities and underrepresented populations in the fields of biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and health services research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的具体目的是：（1。）鼓励来自健康差异人群的十个本科，研究生和卫生专业学生，从事基础科学，生物医学，临床和行为健康研究领域的职业；（2）从健康差异人群中扩大对这些学生的培训，以涵盖国际健康问题；（3）协助这些学生与美国和国际教职员工一起参加合作研究计划；（4）寻求创新的方法来解决与结束健康差异差距相关的问题和/或障碍。利用爱荷华大学少数民族学生发展计划（爱荷华州生物科学优势计划）和大学国际农村和环境健康中心的综合资源，我们将为每年夏天的五年夏天提供10-12周的短期国际研究培训机会。爱荷华州生物科学优势计划将是一项馈线计划，以识别合格的本科生。八位学员将是本科生，两名将是研究生或专业学生，所有学员将来自基础科学，生物医学，临床或行为研究职业领域的人群不足。 MHIRT学员将获得波兰，斯洛伐克，罗马尼亚，中国和冈比亚的外国机构的研究培训机会，在过去的十三年中，我们建立了合作关系，通过Fogarty国际中心培训和研究赠款。中欧/东欧的这些国家为学习与健康差异有关的问题提供了绝佳的机会。我们将在信息和通信技术中使用新的功能来协助在这些国家匹配，监视和评估受训者的国际研究培训经验。在该提议的计划中，MHIRT培训被视为一项综合计划的一部分，该计划是从健康差异人群中培养和发展个人，以成为生产性生物医学和行为健康研究人员。相关性：与普通人群的健康状况相比，由于疾病发病率，疾病流行，发病率，死亡率和存活率的显着差异，因此在生物医学，临床，临床，临床，行为，行为和健康服务领域的健康差异和人数不足的人群中，有一种国家需要增加训练有素的科学家人数。
