项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this "Short-Term Training Program to Increase Diversity in Health Related Research" (R25) is to stimulate career development in cardiovascular research among health professional student populations at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the Mississippi delta region of the United States. The Lower Mississippi Delta Region, a 219-country strip along the Mississippi River in Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee is populated by approximately 8.3 million people, including a large percentage of low income people, African American descent, and with growing numbers of other people of color. The strength of this project stems from a sustained and shared commitment among the collaborators, including faculty from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, GRECC VA Boston HealthCare System, Hebrew Senior Life, and Tufts University, and faculty from resource-intensive HBCUs (North Carolina A&T, Southern University at Baton Rouge, Morehouse School of Medicine), as well as faculty from small, and private HBCUs that lack infrastructure for research (Grambling State Univeristy, Mississippi Valley State Univeristy, Alcorn State University, Rust College). We propose four specific aims: 1) to provide mentored, short-term research experience to under-represented health professional students from the participating HBCUs; 2) to promote educational experiences and activities that will enhance students' academic communication and networking skills; 3) to facilitate the development of a sustained network for contacts and information that will help these students to overcome historical barriers to access that have often served to limit entry and success in the research enterprise; and, 4) to evaluate the success of the program in meeting both short term and long term objectives. It is our strong belief that this project will significantly enlarge the "pipeline" of trainees from the participating HBCUs who pursue careers as independent investigators. These investigators will be capable of making substantial contributions toward understanding and eliminating health disparities, with a specific focus on reducing the impact of social, environmental, and behavioral determinants of cardiovascular health status on African-Americans living in the Lower Mississippi Delta region of the United States. The purpose of this proposal is to support research training to minority medical students and graduate students in public health in order to encourage them to pursue careers committed to the reduction of health disparities in cardiovascular disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：该“增加与健康相关研究多样性的短期培训计划”的目的（R25）是为了刺激美国密西西比州密西西比三角洲地区历史悠久的黑人学院和大学卫生专业学生人数的心血管研究的职业发展。密西西比下三角洲地区是阿肯色州，伊利诺伊州，肯塔基州，路易斯安那州，密西西比州和田纳西州的密西西比河沿线的219个国家地带，大约有830万人人口，其中包括大量低收入人群，非裔美国人，非洲裔美国人，以及其他彩色的人数不断增长。该项目的实力源于合作者之间的持续和共同承诺以及缺乏研究基础设施的私人HBCU（密西西比州河谷州立大学，阿尔科恩州立大学，鲁斯特学院）。我们提出了四个具体目标：1）为参与的HBCU的代表性不足的卫生专业学生提供指导的短期研究经验； 2）促进教育经验和活动，以增强学生的学术交流和网络技能； 3）促进建立一个持续的联系网络，以帮助这些学生克服经常有助于限制研究企业进入和成功的历史障碍的历史障碍；以及4）评估该计划在达到短期和长期目标方面的成功。我们强烈的信念是，该项目将大大扩大参与HBCU的学员的“管道”，他们从事独立研究人员的职业。这些研究者将能够为理解和消除健康差异做出重大贡献，并特别着重于减少心血管健康状况对居住在美国下密西西比三角洲地区的非裔美国人的社会，环境和行为决定因素的影响。该建议的目的是支持对少数族裔医学生和公共卫生研究生的研究培训，以鼓励他们从事致力于减少心血管疾病健康差异的职业。（抽象的结尾）
