几十年来，解决健康差距一直是一个全国性的挑战。国立卫生研究院赞助的人口健康和健康差异中心是第一个支持健康差异决定因素的跨学科多层次研究的联邦倡议。他们新颖的研究方法结合了人口、临床和基础科学来阐明健康差异的复杂决定因素。这些中心正在与社区、公共和准公共组织合作，传播科学发现并指导社区的临床实践。反过来，社区和公共卫生机构正在塑造研究。通过这些复杂的合作建立的关系增加了中心的科学发现与社区相关并有助于减少健康差距的可能性。
Addressing health disparities has been a national challenge for decades. The National Institutes of Health-sponsored Centers for Population Health and Health Disparities are the first federal initiative to support transdisciplinary multilevel research on the determinants of health disparities. Their novel research approach combines population, clinical, and basic science to elucidate the complex determinants of health disparities. The centers are partnering with community-based, public, and quasi-public organizations to disseminate scientific findings and guide clinical practice in communities. In turn, communities and public health agents are shaping the research. The relationships forged through these complex collaborations increase the likelihood that the centers' scientific findings will be relevant to communities and contribute to reductions in health disparities.
