DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major goal of the UAB Public Health/Biomedical Research Training Program (UAB MHIRT) is to train and promote the professional development and participation of underrepresented minority students in international biomedical and behavioral research. This will contribute to the cadre of researchers engaged in tackling and reducing health disparities in populations. The program will recruit and train 9 undergraduate, 1 professional and 2 master's students annually for five years. Each trainee will be matched with a research project at one of seven foreign sites in four countries: Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana; Kumasi South Hospital, Kumasi, Ghana; Center for the Studies of Sensory Impairment, Aging and Metabolism (CeSSIAM), Guatemala city, Guatemala; INCAP/FANCAP (Institute for Nutrition of Central America and Panama, Guatemala City, Guatemala; Ministry of Health (North-East and Western Regions), Jamaica; and Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) Lima, Peru. Trainees will receive pre-departure training and post-training follow-up from UAB Faculty Mentors. Pre-departure training will include training in research ethics, cultural orientation and scientific methods such as experimental design, data collection and analysis and use of scientific equipment. Trainee research projects will be based on collaborative research between the sponsoring institution and UAB. Research topics include infectious diseases (HIV, malaria, vaccine-preventable infections), maternal and child health, nutrition, chronic disease (asthma, cancer, hypertension and diabetes) and health care service delivery. Once overseas, each trainee will perform research and collect and manage data under the guidance of a Foreign Mentor. Trainees are required to write a final paper based on their project data under guidance from the UAB and foreign site mentors. This paper may be submitted for presentation at a national conference and for publication. The program is budgeted to cover travel, living and research expenses for trainees, and provide each trainee with a monthly stipend while overseas. UAB Faculty Mentors may travel to the foreign site once each year, and 2 Foreign Mentors may travel to UAB for collaborative work each year. RELEVANCE: Trainees will gain experience by conducting research in a different cultural context, and will be encouraged to pursue graduate studies and careers in the field of international health research. The program will help to provide a solid cadre of research personnel that will contribute to alleviating the disparities in health experienced by people in developing countries and underrepresented minorities in the U.S.

描述（由申请人提供）：UAB公共卫生/生物医学研究培训计划（UAB MHIRT）的主要目标是培训和促进代表性不足的少数群体在国际生物医学和行为研究中的专业发展和参与。这将有助于研究人员的干部，从而解决和降低人口的健康差异。该计划将每年招募和培训9本大学，1名专业和2名硕士学生五年。每个学员将与四个国家的七个外国现场之一的研究项目相匹配：加纳库马西的夸梅·恩克鲁玛科学技术大学（KNUST）；加纳库马西的库马西南医院；危地马拉危地马拉城的感觉障碍，衰老和代谢研究中心（Cessiam）； Ingap/Fancap（中美洲和巴拿马营养研究所，危地马拉城，危地马拉；牙买加卫生部（东北部和西部地区），牙买加；佩鲁阿纳·卡耶塔诺·赫雷迪亚（Peruana Cayetano Heredia）（秘鲁），秘鲁。秘鲁。受训者将接受培训前的培训和培训培训，包括培训前的培训，包括培训的培训，包括培训的培训，包括训练的培训。诸如实验设计，数据收集和分析和科学设备的使用等方向和科学方法将基于赞助机构和UAB之间的协作研究。每个学员将在外国导师的指导下进行研究，收集和管理数据。本文可以在全国会议上提交介绍和发表。该计划的预算旨在支付学员的旅行，生活和研究费用，并为每位受训人员提供海外的每月津贴。 UAB教师的导师每年可能一次前往外国现场，每年有2名外国导师可以前往UAB进行协作工作。 相关性：学员将通过在不同的文化背景下进行研究来获得经验，并鼓励在国际健康研究领域从事研究生学习和职业。该计划将有助于提供扎实的研究人员干部，这将有助于减轻发展中国家和美国人数不足的少数群体所经历的健康差异
