项目摘要

Project Summary The long term objective of the Texas Minority Health, Education, Research and Outreach (Texas MiHERO) is to expand the capacity of University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) to enhance research and research training in minority health and health disparities by increasing the number of under-represented students in health disparity research, providing interdisciplinary research and leadership training to junior faculty, and increasing the number of health professional faculty involved in health disparity research. Given the substantial need for physicians, physician scientists, and other health professionals to care for vulnerable populations, and the critical need to study diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect these groups, more efforts are needed to increase the participation of individuals from diverse backgrounds in conducting research on minority health and health disparities, and encouraging them to consider careers in research and related fields. The Texas Center for Health Disparities (TCHD), a NIMHD-Specialized Center of Excellence developed the MiHERO program, through the NIMHD S21 mechanism, to increase health disparity research capacity by increasing the size of the PhD workforce in health disparities, train junior faculty in interdisciplinary research leadership, and provide opportunities for senior investigators to develop research focus in minority health and health disparities. Four priority activities will be conducted under the MiHERO program: • Priority Activity 1: Support an Interdisciplinary Research Leadership (IRL) Program for junior faculty in Minority Health and Health Disparities • Priority Activity 2: Recruit/Retain diverse faculty through a Health Education, Awareness and Research in Disparities Scholarship (HEARD Scholars) program in Minority Health and Health Disparities. • Priority Activity 3: Increase the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce by recruiting a new cohort of PhD students from minority and underrepresented groups each year who focus on health disparities. • Priority Activity 4: Develop a mechanism for minority health and health disparity researchers to engage community members in their research. Using the endowment funds secured through this mechanism of funding, we will ensure robust training opportunities are provided that encourage participants of the proposed program to seek careers in research and related field that address the issue of health disparities. The impact of the endowment income will be sustainable programs in Minority Health and Health Disparities, including health disparity curricula for PhD students, a junior faculty development program that can be expanded to faculty from other institutions, and a cadre of health disparity researchers who have active research projects in the area of Minority Health and Health Disparities.

项目概要德克萨斯州少数族裔健康、教育、研究和外展 (Texas MiHERO) 的长期目标是扩大北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心 (UNTHSC) 的能力，以加强研究和通过增加代表性不足的人数，对少数民族健康和健康差异进行研究培训健康差异研究的学生，为初级教师提供跨学科研究和领导力培训，鉴于以下情况，增加参与健康差异研究的卫生专业教师的数量。迫切需要医生、医师科学家和其他卫生专业人员来照顾弱势群体人口，以及研究对这些群体造成不成比例影响的疾病和状况的迫切需要，需要采取更多措施来增加来自不同背景的个人的参与努力研究少数民族健康和健康差异，并鼓励他们考虑从事研究和德克萨斯州健康差异中心 (TCHD)，一个 NIMHD 专业卓越中心。通过NIMHD S21机制开发MiHERO计划，以增加健康差异研究通过增加博士队伍的规模来解决健康差异问题，培养跨学科的初级教师研究领导力，并为高级研究人员提供在少数群体中发展研究重点的机会 MiHERO 计划将开展四项优先活动： • 优先活动 1：支持针对初级教师的跨学科研究领导力 (IRL) 计划少数族裔健康和健康差异 • 优先活动 2：通过健康教育、意识和研究招募/留住多元化教师少数民族健康和健康差异方面的差异奖学金（HEARD Scholars）计划。 • 优先活动 3：通过以下方式增加生物医学、行为和临床研究队伍的多样性：每年从少数族裔和代表性不足的群体中招募一批新的博士生，他们的重点是关于健康差异。 • 优先活动 4：制定少数民族健康和健康差异研究人员参与的机制社区成员在他们的研究中。利用通过这种筹资机制获得的捐赠基金，我们将确保强有力的培训提供机会鼓励拟议方案的参与者寻求研究和职业生涯解决健康差异问题的相关领域养老收入的影响将是可持续的。少数民族健康和健康差异项目，包括博士生、大三学生的健康差异课程教师发展计划可扩展到其他机构的教师和卫生骨干人员在少数族裔健康和健康差异领域拥有活跃研究项目的差异研究人员。
