项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The racial and ethnic minority population in Texas surpassed the Anglo population in 2004, and is projected to increase substantially in the coming years. Projections for educational attainment for minorities, historically low because of socioeconomic and other factors, suggest continued disparity for college, graduate and professional school enrollment. Admission of minority students into doctoral study in the biomedical sciences in Texas, and indeed in the nation, remains low despite population changes in Texas, the second most populous in the country. Thus, there is a critical need to train a large number of health professionals to serve minority populations, not only in Texas but also at the national level. To address this critical need, we propose the "Promoting Diversity in Research Training for Health Professionals (PDRT)" program. University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) is a leader among the health science centers in Texas in training minority biomedical scientists. We have developed an integrated plan to increase the number of minorities in biomedical research, incorporating education at the K-12, undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels. The overall goal of PRDT is to provide underrepresented minority individuals, who are enrolled in a health professional program, a challenging and focused research experience in health disparities related to cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep disorders.. The specific aims of the PRDT are: Aim 1. Generate a pool of applicants from the health professional programs at UNTHSC (Osteopathy, Pharmacy, Public Health and Physician Assistants) as well as regional health professional programs (UT-Southwestern Medical Center, Texas A&M College of Medicine, Texas Women's University), and recruit 15 participants each year for the PDRT program. Aim 2. Provide a 10-week research program that combines research in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep disorders, with a special emphasis on health disparities. Aim 3. Provide workshops in responsible conduct of research, experimental design, interprofessional education and health disparities. These aims will be accomplished by the following activities: (1) Recruitment, (2) Research Training and Education, (3) Training Scholar to improve their skills to succeed, (4) Evaluation and (5) Tracking. Our expectation is that continued focus on the aims in meeting our objective will directly impact eventual achievement of our goal of obtaining a diverse population comprised of underrepresented populations in health disparity research related to cardiovascular diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）： 2004 年，德克萨斯州的种族和族裔人口超过了盎格鲁人人口，并且预计在未来几年将大幅增加。由于社会经济和其他因素，少数族裔的受教育程度处于历史低位。尽管德克萨斯州是美国第二大人口大国，但在大学、研究生和职业学校的入学率方面，少数族裔学生在德克萨斯州甚至全国范围内的生物医学博士生入学率仍然存在差异。因此，不仅在德克萨斯州，而且在全国范围内，迫切需要培训大量卫生专业人员来为少数群体提供服务。为了满足这一迫切需求，我们提出了“促进卫生专业人员研究培训的多样性”。 PDRT”计划。北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心 (UNTHSC) 是德克萨斯州在培训少数族裔生物医学科学家方面处于领先地位的健康科学中心。我们制定了一项综合计划，以增加少数族裔参与生物医学研究的数量，将少数族裔的教育纳入其中K-12，本科生， PRDT 的总体目标是为参加健康专业项目的少数族裔人士提供与心血管、肺、血液和睡眠疾病相关的健康差异方面具有挑战性和针对性的研究经验。 PRDT 的目标是：目标 1. 从 UNTHSC（骨科、药剂学、公共卫生和医师助理）以及地区卫生专业项目（UT-西南医学中心）的卫生专业项目中产生一批申请者中心、德克萨斯 A&M 医学院、德克萨斯女子大学），每年招募 15 名 PDRT 项目参与者。目标 2：提供为期 10 周的研究项目，将心血管、肺、血液和睡眠疾病的研究与特殊的研究结合起来。目标 3. 提供有关负责任的研究、实验设计、跨专业教育和健康差异的研讨会。这些目标将通过以下活动来实现：(1) 招募，(2) 研究培训和教育，（3）培训学者以提高他们的成功技能，（4）评估和（5）跟踪我们的期望是，持续关注实现我们的目标将直接影响我们获得多元化人口的目标的最终实现。由与心血管疾病相关的健康差异研究中代表性不足的人群组成（摘要结束）。
