GRANT - T32 NR 07968
The overarching goal of this research education program is to prepare nurse
scientists to identify, prevent, and reduce health disparities in
under-served populations.
The nurse trainees receive
interdisciplinary training in culturally appropriate research methods and
ethical issues, including multiple methods of data collection, participatory
research in the community, and international cross-cultural comparisons.
The pre and postdoctoral students obtain transdisciplinary research
training, in which mentors
from different disciplines bring their complimentary and related expertise
to facilitate learning under a shared conceptual framework, to meet the
following learning objectives:
- Provide trainees with the core knowledge, skills, attitudes, and
experience to conduct health disparities research
- Develop creative and successful clinical investigators who can lead and
participate in research projects within interdisciplinary teams
- Increase the number of and strengthen the preparation of
under-represented minorities participating in health disparities research
