 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are numerous reports that have identified disparities in presentation for care, severity and disability for stroke, Alzheimer's Disease, epilepsy and Parkinson's Disease. Nonetheless, the neurology discipline appears to lag behind other clinical specialties in terms of analyzing the causes, delivery of interventions and treatments across socioeconomic and ethnic groups that result in apparent poor outcomes in disadvantaged populations. In 2010, NINDS convened an external panel to review and provide recommendations to NINDS with respect to the priority, administration and oversight of health disparities research conducted by NINDS. Among the results of the review was the conclusion that there is no specific mechanism for training future health disparity researchers. There are several epidemiology programs throughout the country that focus on neuroepidemiology training, but essentially all programs require trainees to have advanced degrees, most often MDs. The goal of this program is to recruit undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds into a Master's Program in Neuroscience Clinical and Population Studies of Health Disparities at the Wake Forest School of Medicine. There are four unique resources at Wake Forest University that make it an ideal institution for the proposed program: 1) The Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity (MACHE), 2) experience through an established Master of Science in Clinical and Population Translational Sciences, 3) an established Neuroscience Graduate Program and 4) the Division of Public Health Sciences. Recruitment of students and collaboration with regional undergraduate institutions including HBCUs will be important for attaining our goal. The idea is to interest students a career choice and develops a love of neuroscience and understanding neurological disorders so that a proportion of these MS students will move onto PhD programs. The product of this program will be a solid foundation in Neuroscience, epidemiology and biostatistics training and hands- on, practical research projects.

 描述（由适用提供）：有许多报道确定了表现方面的差异，以治疗中风，阿尔茨海默氏病，癫痫病和帕金森氏病。尽管如此，在分析原因，社会经济和族裔群体中的干预措施和治疗方面，神经病学学科似乎落后于其他临床专业，从而导致灾难人群的外观不佳。 2010年，Ninds召集了一个外部小组，以审查Ninds，并向NINDS提供建议，对NINDS进行的健康差异研究的优先级，管理和监督。评论的结果之一是结论是没有培训未来健康差异研究人员的具体机制。全国各地有几个流行病学计划，专注于神经性人性学培训，但本质上，所有计划都要求受训者拥有高级学位，最常见的是MD。该计划的目的是将来自潜水员背景的本科生招募到Wake Forest医学院的神经科学临床和人群健康差异的硕士课程。维克森林大学有四个独特的资源，使其成为拟议计划的理想机构：1）玛雅安吉洛卫生公平中心（MACHE），2）通过已建立的临床和人口转化科学科学硕士的经验，3）一个已建立的神经科学研究生计划和4）公共卫生科学司。招募学生并与包括HBCU在内的区域本科机构合作对于实现我们的目标非常重要。这个想法是让学生成为职业选择，并发展对神经科学的热爱并了解神经系统疾病，以便这些MS学生中的一部分将进入博士学位课程。该计划的产品将是神经科学，流行病学和生物统计学培训和动手实践研究项目的坚实基础。
