San Antonio, the gateway to South Texas, is the 7^ largest city in the US and the largest metropolitan area with a majority Hispanic population (63%). South Texas is about the size of Ohio, and comprises an impoverished and largely Hispanic population with disproportionate rates of diabetes and obesity, exacerbated by a lack of health insurance and poor access to health care. This region also contains numerous US military installations, and active-duty service members and veterans often have special health issues, including increased risk for post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic injuries. Unfortunately, neither better access to care nor improved care delivery can eliminate health disparities and meet these complex needs. In addition, research across the full T l to T4 translational spectrum is required to eliminate knowledge gaps and establish real-wortd effectiveness that improves health care for our populations. In 2006, UTHSCSA established the Institute for Integration of Medicine and Science (IIMS) to improve health and reduce disparities by accelerating scientific discoveries and applications across the full translational research spectrum. For example, IIMS expanded the number of clinical research units that extend to the Texas-Mexico border from 1 to 7, and dramatically increasing participant access to clinical and translational science. We increased, from 2 to 6, the Practice-Based Research Networks that focus on diverse ambulatory populations. Efforts to address translational science workforce needs over the past 5-10 years have graduated 100 Masters Clinical Investigation students, supported 19 successful KL2 Scholars, and established new joint Translational Science PhD and Certificate programs. In this proposal, we provide strategies to spur clinical and translational science evolution, catalyze research teams, and implement programs that produce creative, collaborative, and culturally diverse scientists. Our Specific Aims will: 1. Accelerate clinical and translational research innovation and effective team science along the entire 11 to T4 research spectrum by providing an academic home integrated with our strategic partner institutions. Expand, diversify, and enhance the workforce of interdisciplinary translational biomedical scientists. Implement effective methods to continuously evaluate and optimize services, increase efficiencies, improve processes, and reduce costs across all IIMS programs. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Based on our vision of improving the health status of South Texas by accelerating scientific discoveries and public health applications, we will deploy strategic resources that focus on prevalent challenges in our region, including: 1) the health needs of our underserved Hispanic population, 2) the special health issues facing active-duty military and veteran populations, and 3) limitations in the translational science workforce required to fill in critical knowledge gaps and improve health in South Texas and the US.

通往德克萨斯州南部的门户圣安东尼奥是美国最大的城市，也是最大的大都市地区 大多数西班牙裔人口（63％）。南德克萨斯州大约是俄亥俄州的大小，其中包括 贫困和西班牙裔人口的糖尿病和肥胖率不成比例 由于缺乏健康保险和无法获得医疗保健服务而加剧。该区域还包含 许多美国军事设施，现役的服务成员和退伍军人通常都有特殊的健康 问题，包括增加创伤后应激障碍的风险和创伤性伤害。很遗憾， 更好地获得护理和改善的护理服务都无法消除健康差异并满足这些差异 复杂的需求。此外，需要跨T4到T4翻译光谱的研究才能消除 知识差距并建立现实的有效性，从而改善了我们人群的医疗保健。 2006年，UTHSCSA建立了医学与科学一体化研究所（IIMS）以改进 健康并通过加速科学发现和应用来减少差异 翻译研究范围。例如，IIM扩大了临床研究单元的数量 从1到7扩展到德克萨斯 - 墨西哥边境，并大大增加参与者进入临床和 翻译科学。我们将重点放在基于实践的研究网络上增加到6 多样化的卧床人口。在过去的5-10中解决转化科学劳动力需求的努力 年毕业的100名硕士临床调查学生，为19个成功的KL2学者提供了支持， 并建立了新的联合转化科学博士和证书计划。在此提案中，我们提供 刺激临床和转化科学进化，催化研究团队并实施的策略 创造创造性，协作和文化多样的科学家的计划。我们的具体目标将： 1。加速临床和转化研究创新和有效的团队科学 整个11至T4研究范围通过提供与我们的战略性融合的学术住所 合作伙伴机构。 扩展，多样化和增强跨学科转化生物医学的劳动力 科学家。 实施有效的方法来连续评估和优化服务，增加 效率，提高流程并降低所有IIM计划的成本。 相关性（请参阅说明）： 基于我们通过加速科学发现和 公共卫生应用程序，我们将部署战略资源，以关注我们的普遍挑战 地区，包括：1）我们服务不足的西班牙裔人口的健康需求，2）特殊健康问题 面对现役军人和退伍军人人口，以及3）转化科学劳动力的局限性 需要填补关键的知识差距并改善南德克萨斯州和美国的健康。
