Indigenous populations (IP) of the Americas (i.e., American Indians/Alaska Natives [AIAN]; Indigenous Latin Americans- pueblos Indígenas), the Hawaiian (Native Hawaiian-Kanaka ‘Ōiwi) and US Pacific Territories (e.g., tagata Sāmoa), and Nepal (Adivasi Janajati) share a troubling commonality with respect to persistent and dire health disparities. Despite such glaring disparities, there is a paucity of culturally grounded research addressing their biomedical and socio-behavioral health concerns. A strong network of highly trained Indigenous scholars dedicated to culturally relevant research would contribute to ameliorating health disparities among IP. This new application, in response to RFA-MD-18-007 “NIMHD Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Training (MHRT) Program (T37),” is designed to develop the Luna Program: International Indigenous Health Research Training Program an international 12-week health research training opportunity in Latin America (Peru & Guatemala), Nepal, and in Hawai’i to 45 qualified doctoral and post-doctoral trainees from IP who have been historically underrepresented in biomedical and sociobehavioral research careers.The Luna program builds on the success of our Mahina Program (T37), originally developed through a tripartite partnership of the UW, University of Auckland, and University of Hawai’I for undergraduate IP. This new application extends our efforts into Latin America (Guatemala and Peru), South Asia (Nepal), and Hawai’i/Oceania with a focused approach to training doctoral and post-doctoral trainees. To achieve the overall objectives of the Luna MHRT, we will select 9 pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students per year over 5 years who will undergo a structured international 12-week mentored summer research training program that includes: (1) a 5-day orientation and research training institute at the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute at the University of Washington, followed by a 10-week International Summer Research Training (ISRT) program at the host country and associated community-based research sites; (2) supervision and training by an international network of country site Preceptors and mentors with expertise in social, cultural, and historical determinants of Indigenous health and health disparities, CBPR, Indigenous ethics and research protocols, and Indigenous research methodologies; (3) community-based research exposure with Preceptors and on-site mentors who will provide supervised field research experiences and shadowing opportunities; (4) a 4-day grant development and writing workshop to produce a NIH grant proposal and publication based on the foreign country research training experience; (5) administrative, editorial, and technical assistance for developing conference presentations and writing manuscripts for publication; (6) year-round multidisciplinary learning opportunities via seminar series, webinars, and presentations at home institutions; (7) access to a website and listserv to facilitate the sharing of relevant research, information, and opportunities; and, (8) a process evaluation of the program to identify factors key to its success.

美洲的土著人口（IP）（即美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加本地人[aian]；土著拉丁语 Americans-PueblosIndígenas），夏威夷人（夏威夷本地人 - 卡纳卡族人）和美国太平洋地区（例如 Tagatasāmoa）和尼泊尔（adivasi janajati）在持久和可怕的 健康差异。尽管存在如此明显的差异，但文化上的研究很少 解决他们的生物医学和社会行为健康问题。强大的训练有素的网络 致力于文化相关研究的土著学者将有助于减轻健康差异 在IP中。这项新应用程序，响应RFA-MD-18-007“ NIMHD少数民族健康与健康 差异研究培训（MHRT）计划（T37）”旨在制定Luna计划：国际 土著健康研究培训计划国际12周的健康研究培训机会 拉丁美洲（秘鲁和危地马拉），尼泊尔和在夏威夷至45个合格的博士和博士后学员 从历史上的生物医学和社会研究职业中人数不足的IP。 Luna计划以我们的Mahina计划（T37）的成功为基础，该计划最初是通过三方开发的 西澳大学，奥克兰大学和夏威夷大学本科IP的合作伙伴关系。这个新 应用将我们的努力扩展到拉丁美洲（危地马拉和秘鲁），南亚（尼泊尔）和 夏威夷/大洋洲，采用专注的方法来培训博士学位和博士后学员。为了实现总体 Luna MHRT的目标，我们将在5年内每年选择9个博士后和博士后学生 谁将接受一项结构化的国际为期12周的夏季研究培训计划，其中包括： （1）在土著健康研究所的5天定向和研究培训研究所 华盛顿大学，随后进行为期10周的国际夏季研究培训（ISRT）计划 东道国和相关的社区研究网站； （2）由 国际乡村站点主持人和指导者具有社会，文化和历史方面的专业知识 土著健康和健康差异的决定因素，CBPR，土著伦理和研究方案， 和土著研究方法； （3）基于社区的研究风险和现场的研究 将提供有监督的现场研究经验和阴影机会的导师； （4）4天赠款 开发和写作研讨会，以外国为基础制定NIH赠款提案和出版 国家研究培训经验； （5）开发行政，社论和技术援助 会议演讲和写作手稿出版； （6）全年多学科学习 通过开创性系列，网络研讨会和家庭机构演讲的机会； （7）访问网站， 列表服务促进相关研究，信息和机会的共享； （8）一个过程 评估程序以确定因素成功的关键。
