Post-Doctoral Fellowship Application

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
