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（由应用程序提供）：德克萨斯州的种族和少数民族人口在2004年超过了盎格鲁人口，预计未来几年将大大增加。由于社会经济和其他因素，历史上较低的对少数民族的教育程度的预测表明，大学，研究生和专业学校入学率持续差异。在得克萨斯州的生物医学科学乃至全国的生物医学科学学院接受博士研究，这仍然是德克萨斯州的目的地人口变化较低，这是该国第二大人口众多的人口。这是迫切需要培训大量卫生专业人员为少数族裔人口提供服务，不仅在德克萨斯州，而且在国家一级为少数群体服务。为了满足这一关键需求，我们建议“促进卫生专业人员研究培训（PDRT）的多样性”计划。北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心（UNTHSC）是德克萨斯州健康科学中心的领导者，培训少数生物医学科学家。我们制定了一项综合计划，以增加生物医学研究中的少数群体数量，在K-12，本科，研究生和博士后级别的教育。 The overall goal of PRDT is to provide underrepresented minority individuals, who are enrolled in a health professional program, a challenge 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区域卫生专业计划（德克萨斯州A＆M医学院，德克萨斯州女子大学），每年招募15名参与者参加PDRT计划。 AIM 2。提供一个为期10周的研究计划，结合了心血管，肺，血液学和睡眠障碍的研究，并特别强调健康差异。目标3。提供负责任的研究，实验设计，跨专业教育和健康差异的讲习班。这些目标将通过以下活动来实现：（1）招聘，（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，继续关注实现目标的目标将直接影响我们获得与心血管疾病有关的健康差异研究中代表性不足人群的多样性人群的目标。（抽象的结尾）
