DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this application is to continue and to strengthen an existing MHIRT program that has successfully contributed to the development of a cadre of young investigators to address disparities in mental health care for U.S. Latinos with serious mental illness. To accomplish this objective, we seek: (a) to recruit the very best young researchers from groups underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences, particularly Latinos; (b) to help the trainees develop the research and professional skills to reduce and eliminate disparities in the mental health care for Latinos; and (c) to increase the number of persons from underrepresented groups, especially Latinos, who receive research oriented doctoral degrees. The doctoral programs within USC's Clinical Psychology Program, USC's School of Social Work, and UCLA's Clinical Psychology Program will serve as the home institutions. Most participating faculty (Mentors and Advisory Committee Members) are from these departments/schools. The applicant pool will be drawn from throughout our nation's universities and colleges as reflected in our applicant pool over the last 4 years in which 353 persons applied. A total of 7 undergraduate trainees and 2 graduate trainees will be recruited each year. The School of Medicine at the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla, in Mexico will serve as the primary foreign home institution for 7 trainees each year. El Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatria will serve as a secondary site with 2 trainees each year. The training is organized to reflect the 3 general domains of determinants of health disparities as defined by the 2002 Institute of Medicine Report "Unequal Treatment" (individual factors, health systems, and provider discrimination) and to reflect the 3 significant pathways to mental health care (illness onset, social networks [e.g., families], and provision of services). Trainees will first receive an intensive 1-week seminar at USC in the study of disparities in Latino mental health care delivered by a multidisciplinary group of faculty from both USC and UCLA. Following the first week, trainees will then travel to Puebla or Mexico City to complete a 10-week program during which they will immerse themselves in the parent projects pertaining to the 3 main pathways to care.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的总体目的是继续并加强现有的MHIRT计划，该计划成功地有助于开发一名年轻研究人员，以解决针对严重精神疾病的美国拉丁美洲人的精神卫生保健差异。为了实现这一目标，我们寻求：（a）招募 来自生物医学，行为，临床和社会科学，尤其是拉丁美洲人的人数不足的群体中最好的年轻研究人员。 （b）帮助学员发展研究和专业技能，以减少和消除拉丁美洲人精神卫生保健的差异； （c）增加代表性不足的群体的人数，尤其是拉丁裔，他们获得了面向研究的博士学位。 USC的临床心理学计划，USC的社会工作学院和UCLA的临床心理学计划中的博士课程将作为家庭机构。大多数参与的教职员工（导师和咨询委员会成员）来自这些部门/学校。在过去的四年中，申请人池将在我们国家的整个大学和大学中得出申请人池，其中有353人申请。每年将招募共有7名本科学员和2名研究生学员。墨西哥的Benemerita大学Autonoma de Puebla医学院将每年为7名学员担任主要外国家庭机构。 El Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatria每年将担任次要地点，每年有2名受训者。组织培训是为了反映2002年医学研究所报告“不平等治疗”（个人因素，卫生系统和提供者歧视）所定义的健康差异决定因素的三个一般领域，并反映了精神卫生保健的3种重要途径（疾病发作，社交网络，社交网络[例如，家庭]和服务提供服务）。学员将首先在南加州大学举行的1周研讨会，以研究由USC和UCLA的跨学科教师提供的拉丁裔精神保健差异。在第一周之后，学员将前往普埃布拉或墨西哥城完成一项为期10周的计划，在此期间，他们将把自己沉浸在与三种主要护理途径有关的家长项目中。
