The goal of the Research Training Core (RTC) is to increase the number of competent and well-trained minority researchers and health-care professionals working on health disparities in the Deep South. This goal will be reached through the following objectives: 1) Continue to partner with five Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Alabama (Alabama A&M University, Alabama State University, Oakwood University, Stillman College, and Tuskegee University) in a three-level Summer Enrichment Program for undergraduate students, to increase the likelihood that they will enroll in graduate school and select careers in health research or practice; 2) Expand the above undergraduate training to include Hispanic students; 3) Offer intensive learning opportunities in health disparities research; and 4) Maintain and strengthen the network between UAB and Alabama's HBCUs developed through the first two phases of our P60 Center of Excellence (COE). Specific aims include: Aim 1. Develop a career roadmap plan for each Scholar accepted into the program; Aim 2. Improve Scholars' knowledge of health disparities issues and research, as evidenced by improvement from pre- to post-test scores using a content-specific evaluation instrument; Aim 3. Increase Scholars' GRE or MCAT scores from pre- to post-test; Aim 4. Graduate approximately 50 Scholars from the program; and Aim 5. Organize the HBCU Academic Advisory Council meetings twice a year to review recruitment activities, applications, curricula, and program outcomes. Undergraduate minority students in the Summer Enrichment Program will also benefit from programs of the UAB-sponsored Minority Health & Health Disparities Research Center (MHRC) through participation in community engagement activities as well as research, mentoring, and scientific activities. By working with undergraduate minority students, the Research Training Core will continue to extend the pipeline of health disparities research and will contribute to the development of a national cadre of minority scientists, physicians, and healthcare professionals who will help reduce the racial/ethnic health disparities.

研究培训核心（RTC）的目的是增加训练有素且训练有素的少数群体研究人员和卫生保健专业人员的数量，从事深南方健康差异的工作。该目标将通过以下目标实现：1）继续与阿拉巴马州（阿拉巴马州A＆M大学，阿拉巴马州大学，阿拉巴马州立大学，奥克伍德大学，斯蒂尔曼学院和塔斯基吉大学）的五个历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS（HBCUS）合作，在三级夏季学生中，他们将毕业，他们将毕业，以培养他们的研究生，并在毕业的三级夏季学习中，他们将培养出来。 2）扩大上述本科培训以包括西班牙裔学生； 3）在健康差异研究中提供密集的学习机会； 4）维护和加强通过我们p60卓越中心（COE）的前两个阶段开发的UAB和阿拉巴马州HBCU之间的网络。 具体目的包括： 目标1。为该计划接受的每个学者制定职业路线图计划； AIM 2。提高学者对健康差异问题和研究的了解，这是通过使用特定于内容的评估工具从测试前和测试后分数改善所证明的； AIM 3。将学者的GRE或MCAT得分从测试前增加到测试； AIM 4。该计划的大约50名学者；和 目标5。每年两次组织HBCU学术咨询委员会会议，以审查招聘活动，申请，课程和计划成果。 夏季丰富​​计划的本科少数群体学生还将通过参与社区参与活动以及研究，指导和科学活动的计划，从UAB赞助的少数族裔健康与健康差异研究中心（MHRC）的计划中受益。 通过与本科少数群体的学生合作，研究培训核心将继续扩大健康差异研究的渠道，并将有助于开发全国少数族裔科学家，医师和医疗保健专业人员，这些专业人员将有助于减少种族/族裔健康差异。
