东北少数民族口腔健康研究中心是一家 UMDNJ-新泽西牙科学校(NJDS)与 康涅狄格大学牙科医学院(UConn)。这位将军 目标是：1-维护和加强口腔健康研究中心 少数族裔，2-支持、指导和建议初级少数族裔调查人员 增加少数族裔教职员工的参与 在研究方面，3-通过具体的研究加强NJDS的研究能力 重视口语研究的设计、实施和分析 健康少数群体，研究项目的总体重点将是 龋齿、艾滋病毒和口腔癌的口腔表现，均为健康 比起白人更影响少数族裔的问题。研究的基础将是 基于一种结合了心理学的心理生物医学模型， 社会文化和生物医学成分，并假设有多个 口腔疾病的因素原因。项目的相互关联的主题 将是一种临床/流行病学/行为学方法来确定 这些疾病在少数民族中的流行情况和病因。全国人权会 将由行政服务核心、研究设计、 数据管理和分析核心和行为科学核心。四 将于年内进行有关预防护理龋齿的研究项目 非常年幼的儿童，口腔表现为儿童HIV感染 人口，口腔生物/行为标志物的鉴定 老年少数民族中的癌症以及对其潜在原因的研究 少数民族志愿者在更低的地方参与生物医学研究 比白人更高的税率。

The Northeastern Minority Oral Health Research Center (NMOHRC) is a collaborative project between UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School (NJDS) and University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine (UCONN). The general aims are: 1- maintain and strengthen a center to study oral health in minorities, 2-support, mentor and advise junior minority investigators to increase the participation of racial and ethnic minority faculty members in research, 3- strengthen the research capacity of NJDS with a specific emphasis on design, implementation and analysis of research on the oral health minorities, The general focus of the research projects will be on dental caries, oral manifestations of HIV and oral cancer, all health problems that affect minorities more than whites. Studies will be based upon a psychobiomedical model which incorporates psychological, sociocultural and biomedical components and assumes that there are multi- factorial causes of oral disease. The interrelated theme of the projects will be a clinical/epidemiological/behavioral approach to determining the prevalence and etiologies of these diseases in minorities. The NMOHRC will be composed of an Administrative Services Core, a Research Design, Data Management and Analysis Core and a Behavioral Sciences Core. Four research projects will be conducted on the prevention of nursing caries in very young children, oral manifestations of HIV infection in a pediatric population, the identification of biological/ behavioral markers of oral cancer in older age minorities, and a study of the underlying reasons why minority subjects volunteer to participate in biomedical research at lower rates than whites.
