DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite glaring health disparities among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) compared to non-indigenous populations across the United States, there is a paucity of research addressing their HIV/AIDS prevention and the mental health concerns. A strong network of highly trained and productive Native scholars dedicated to research that is culturally grounded would contribute to ameliorating health disparities among AIAN. Although NIH has issued calls to increase the representation of AIAN and other underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (UREM) as principal investigators for mental health, substance use, alcohol use, and HIV prevention research studies, few have attained PI status or received federal funding. This application, in response to PAR-06-494 "NIMH Research Education Grants (R25)," is designed to develop the Indigenous HIV/AIDS Research Training (IHART) program to train a cadre of NIMH-funded junior and mid-career research scientists in the area of HIV/AIDS and mental health prevention. AIAN trainees will be prioritized but UREM, individuals with disadvantaged backgrounds, and non-Native scientists who are currently conducting research in Native communities are eligible to participate as well. The IHART program will be housed at the university-wide interdisciplinary Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRI). IWRI and its associated research scientists, staff, and their affiliates will provide a supportive and fertile environment for the program. IWRI is directed and staffed almost entirely by AIAN, with two of the leading federally funded AIAN HIV researchers at the helm. The IHART program specific aims are to 1) Facilitate the development of a cadre of junior and mid-career scientists capable of serving as PIs on extramurally funded HIV/AIDS -mental health prevention studies with indigenous populations through an intensive 24-month mentorship program comprising a 2-day winter roundtable; a 2-week summer training institute; year-round multidisciplinary learning opportunities via seminar series, virtual workshops, and presentations; seed funding ($22,000) for development (i.e., pilot projects, conferences); as well as statistical, administrative, editorial, and technical assistance for developing grant applications, conducting primary or secondary data analyses, and writing manuscripts for publication; 2) Establish a network of mentors with expertise in HIV research, mental health, trauma, substance abuse and CBPR; 3) Launch a website and listserv to facilitate the sharing of relevant research, information, and opportunities; and 4) Conduct a process evaluation of the program to identify factors key to its success. Public Health Relevance: NIH has issued calls to increase the representation of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) and other underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (UREM) as principal investigators for mental health, substance use, alcohol use, and HIV prevention research studies. However, few AIAN or UREM researchers have attained PI status or received federal funding. The proposed research will contribute to the public health by developing a cadre of NIMH-funded junior and mid-career AIAN research scientists in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and mental health. These researchers will be highly trained and productive scholars dedicated to building research that is culturally grounded and capable of ameliorating health disparities in Indian Country.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管与美国的非土著人口相比，美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（Aian）的健康差异显得巨大，但仍缺乏解决其HIV/AIDS预防和心理健康问题的研究。一个强大的由训练有素且富有成效的本地学者组成的网络致力于研究的研究，这将有助于改善Aian的健康差异。尽管NIH已发出呼吁，以增加AIA和其他代表性不足的种族和少数民族（UREM）作为心理健康，药物使用，饮酒和预防艾滋病毒预防研究的主要研究人员，但很少有人获得PI状态或获得联邦资金。该申请是针对PAR-06-494“ NIMH研究教育补助金（R25）”的响应艾滋病毒/艾滋病和心理健康预防领域的科学家。艾安（Aian）的学员将被优先考虑，但乌勒姆（Urem），背景不利的人，目前正在当地社区进行研究的非本地科学家也有资格参加。 IHART计划将安置在大学范围的跨学科土著研究所（IWRI）中。 IWRI及其相关的研究科学家，员工及其分支机构将为该计划提供支持和肥沃的环境。 IWRI几乎全部由Aian指导和人员，其中两名领先的联邦资助Aian HIV研究人员掌管。 IHART计划的具体目标是1）促进促进一组初级和中期的科学家，能够通过一项由24个月的强化指导计划组成的密集的24个月大量的人群来担任何种省级资助的艾滋病毒/艾滋病/艾滋病预防研究。为期2天的冬季圆桌会议；一个为期2周的夏季培训学院；通过研讨会系列，虚拟研讨会和演讲，全年的多学科学习机会；种子资金（22,000美元）用于开发（即试点项目，会议）；以及统计，行政，社论和技术援助，用于开发赠款申请，进行主要或辅助数据分析以及撰写手稿以进行出版； 2）建立具有艾滋病毒研究，心理健康，创伤，药物滥用和CBPR方面的专业知识的导师网络； 3）启动一个网站和ListServ，以促进相关研究，信息和机会的共享； 4）对程序进行过程评估，以确定因素成功的关键因素。 公共卫生相关性：NIH已发出呼吁，以增加美国印第安人和阿拉斯加土著人（Aian）和其他代表性不足的种族和少数民族（UEREM）作为心理健康，药物使用，饮酒和艾滋病毒预防研究的主要研究者。但是，很少有Aian或Urem研究人员获得PI状态或获得联邦资金。拟议的研究将通过在HIV/AIDS预防和心理健康领域建立一组NIMH资助的初级和中级研究科学家来为公共卫生做出贡献。这些研究人员将获得高度训练和富有成效的学者，致力于建立具有文化基础的研究，并能够改善印度国家的健康差异。
