DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite reported economic growth and social transformations there is a national and international need to increase the number of well-trained scientists from health disparities and underrepresented populations in the fields of biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and health services research. The overall purpose of this project by The University of Iowa is to continue to build on our history of health science research training for minority and underserved students in international settings. This program will strengthen these individuals and hopefully the host institution's capacity to conduct clinical, translation and implementation research on public health and basic science areas in three emerging centers of excellence, including the University of The Gambia, Banjul, The Gambia; the Anne Sullivan Center, Lima, Peru and the Center for Health Policy and Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The specific aims of this project are to (1) encourage ten undergraduate, graduate and health professions students who are from health disparities populations to pursue careers in basic science, biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health research fields, annually; (2) broaden the training of these students to encompass international health issues; (3) assist these students to participate in collaborative research initiatives with U.S. and international faculty; (4) increase cultural competency skills in the health sciences; (5) seek innovative approaches to address problems and/or hindrances associated with closing health disparities gaps; and (6) immerse the student in a research environment which provides full exposure to research activities including theoretical modeling, development of hypotheses and design, data collection and analysis, clinical or lab activities, and practical problem solving exercises. This multi-disciplinary program will continue to focus primarily on short-term training, and enhance the student and host country experiences through distance learning technologies and in-country workshops or oversight as much as possible by University of Iowa collaborating mentors. The program will also offer trainees opportunities for continued collaborations with both Iowa and in-country mentors with an end towards publishable research products whenever feasible. The success of the program is founded on the University of Iowa's broad expertise in areas of environmental health and public health and its years of experience training and or collaborating with researchers from the host country institutions.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管有报道称经济增长和社会转型，但国家和国际上仍需要增加生物医学、临床、行为和健康服务研究领域的健康差异和代表性不足人群中训练有素的科学家数量。爱荷华大学该项目的总体目的是继续在国际环境中为少数族裔和服务不足的学生提供健康科学研究培训的历史。该计划将加强这些个人的能力，并希望主办机构能够在三个新兴的卓越中心（包括冈比亚班珠尔的冈比亚大学）开展公共卫生和基础科学领域的临床、转化和实施研究的能力；秘鲁利马的安妮沙利文中心和罗马尼亚克卢日纳波卡的巴贝斯博雅伊大学卫生政策和公共卫生中心。该项目的具体目标是（1）每年鼓励十名来自健康差异人群的本科生、研究生和健康专业学生在基础科学、生物医学、临床和行为健康研究领域从事职业； (2) 扩大对这些学生的培训，使其涵盖国际卫生问题； (3) 协助这些学生参与与美国和国际教师的合作研究活动； (4) 提高健康科学领域的文化能力； (5) 寻求创新方法来解决与缩小健康差距相关的问题和/或障碍； (6) 让学生沉浸在一个研究环境中，充分接触研究活动，包括理论建模、假设和设计的发展、数据收集和分析、临床或实验室活动以及实际问题解决 练习。这个多学科项目将继续主要关注短期培训， 通过远程学习技术和国内研讨会或爱荷华大学合作导师的监督，增强学生和东道国的经验。该计划还将为学员提供与爱荷华州和国内导师继续合作的机会，并在可行的情况下结束可出版的研究产品。该计划的成功建立在爱荷华大学在环境健康和公共卫生领域的广泛专业知识及其多年的培训经验和/或与东道国机构研究人员合作的基础上。
