DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project application, Hispanic Health Disparities across Cultures in Latin America: Collaborative Research for 21st Century, is to enable the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to offer short-term international health disparities research opportunities for Hispanic undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in health professions, behavioral science and biomedical science programs. The long term goals of the proposed project, are (1) to encourage undergraduate and graduate trainees from underrepresented (Mexican American-Hispanic) populations to pursue clinical, biomedical and/or behavioral health research careers addressing health disparities; (2) to broaden the research efforts and scientific training of undergraduates and graduate trainees from underrepresented (Mexican American-Hispanic) populations to encompass international health issues; and (3) to assist trainees to participate in U.S. and international collaborative research initiatives that address minority health or health disparities in the United States and globally. Te specific aims include (a) extending and strengthening ongoing partnerships between UTEP and collaborators at University of Costa Rica (UCR); Universidad Autonoma de los Andes (UNIANDES); Universidad Central del Ecuador (UCE); and two research institutes, Instituto de Investigaciones Cientificas y Servicios de Alta Tecnologia and Instituto Conmemorativo Gorgas de Estudios de la Salud (b) providing research training and a mentored research experience in an international setting to trainees from underrepresented minority groups to facilitate entry into research careers and advance skills in methods to research Hispanic health disparities and (c) integrating MHIRT trainee research experiences with mechanisms to disseminate research findings in public forums and through established scientific channels. The program's rationale and design is to offer a 13-week Summer Research Institute and associated faculty mentoring to develop a potential pool of ethnically diverse Hispanic health disparities researchers by affording them with opportunities to explore the world of research in an international setting while they are undergraduates and/or graduate students pursuing their studies in biomedical, behavioral, clinical or social sciences. The projected number of trainees which will be recruited and retained during the 5 years of project duration will be 40 undergraduate students and 10 graduate students.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目申请的目的，拉丁美洲文化之间的西班牙裔健康差异：21世纪的合作研究，是为了使德克萨斯大学El Paso分校（UTEP）提供短期国际健康差异研究机会，用于西班牙裔本科生和研究生中的西班牙裔本科生和研究生，从事健康专业和生物科学科学和生物科学和生物科学，典型的研究生。拟议项目的长期目标是（1）鼓励来自代表性不足（墨西哥裔美国人）人群的本科生和研究生学员，从而从事临床，生物医学和/或行为健康研究职业，以应对健康差异； （2）扩大本科生和研究生学员的研究工作和科学培训，从代表性不足的（墨西哥裔美国人）人群中，以涵盖国际健康问题； （3）协助学员参加美国和国际合作研究计划，以解决美国和全球范围内的少数群体健康或健康差异。特定的目标包括（a）哥斯达黎加大学（UCR）的UTEP与合作者之间的持续合作伙伴关系；自主教大学（Uniandes）；中央德尔厄瓜多尔大学（UCE）；和两家研究机构，研究研究所，研究学院和alta tecnologia和Instituto conmemorativo gorgas de esudios de la Salud（b）提供研究培训，并提供研究培训的指导研究经验 研究职业和进步技能研究西班牙裔健康差异的方法，以及（c）将MHIRT培训生的研究经验与机制相结合，以在公共论坛和既定科学渠道中传播研究结果。该计划的理由和设计是提供13周的夏季研究所和相关教师指导，以开发潜在的种族多样化的西班牙裔西班牙裔健康差异研究人员，通过为他们提供在本科生和/或研究生物学，行为，行为，行为，临床或社交研究的研究时，可以在国际环境中探索研究领域。预计将在项目持续时间5年期间招募和保留的受训人员将有40名本科生和10名研究生。
