DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks to narrow the gap in health disparities that currently exist between American citizens of different ethnic and racial origins by capitalizing on and extending an existing partnership between the Hampton University School of Nursing and the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. The proposed Hampton Penn Center for Reducing Health Disparities will 1) foster development of nursing partnerships between researchers, faculty, and students at Hampton University and the University of Pennsylvania and will further health disparity research at both institutions; 2) further the development and dissemination of culturally competent research and interventions related to health disparities among racial/ethnic minorities, marginalized and underserved populations, and 3) enhance the recruitment, retention and training of nurses into research careers who are themselves members of racial/ethnic minorities, marginalized and underserved populations who will be able to build the science that will reduce health disparities. Building on previous research in which culturally appropriate interventions have been designed to promote health and reduce risk of disease in minority populations, the Hampton Penn Center for Reducing Health Disparities (HPC) will focus on conducting culturally competent research on health promotion and disease prevention and the influence that culture, race and ethnicity exert within the client-system, healthcare-system, and the larger society that impact on health and illness. Specifically this center will enhance the conduct of research on health promotion and disease prevention within a cultural context and will: 1) Develop methodologies that are sensitive to answering research questions from diverse communities. 2) Increase the training of researchers from majority and minority institutions who conduct culturally competent research. 3) Foster research designed to reduce health disparities through a pilot funding mechanism. 4) Enhance the career development of minority health investigators (from undergraduates through faculty) who are conducting research designed to promote health and prevent disease through culturally competent research designs and interventions. The Hampton Penn Center for Reducing Health Disparities will meet these aims through: 1) an administrative core that will foster relationships between the two institutions and which will provide infrastructure support 2) a pilot core that will provide funding mechanisms to foster the conduct of research designed to reduce health disparities and 3) a mentorship core in which alliances between researchers at Hampton University and the University of Pennsylvania will be fostered. Dissemination of research and community outreach are critically important to our center, therefore these activities will occur in the pilot core and mentorship core as outlined later in this proposal.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在通过利用和扩展汉普顿大学护理学院和宾夕法尼亚大学护理学院之间的现有伙伴关系，缩小目前存在于不同种族和种族的美国公民之间的健康差距的差距。拟议中的汉普顿宾夕法尼亚州减少健康差距中心将1）促进汉普顿大学和宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员、教师和学生之间的护理伙伴关系的发展，并将进一步促进这两个机构的健康差距研究; 2）进一步发展和传播与少数种族/族裔之间的健康差距有关的文化上胜任的研究和干预措施，边缘化和得不到充分服务的人口，以及3）加强招聘、留住和培训护士从事研究工作，他们本身就是少数种族/族裔、边缘化和得不到充分服务的人口的成员，他们将能够建立减少健康差距的科学。在以前的研究中，文化上适当的干预措施已被设计为促进健康和减少少数民族人口的疾病风险，汉普顿宾夕法尼亚州中心减少健康差距（HPC）的基础上，将重点进行文化上胜任的研究，促进健康和疾病预防，以及文化，种族和民族在客户系统，医疗保健系统，以及更大的社会影响健康和疾病。具体而言，该中心将加强在文化背景下进行健康促进和疾病预防的研究，并将：1）开发对回答来自不同社区的研究问题敏感的方法。2)增加对来自多数民族和少数民族机构的研究人员的培训，这些研究人员从事文化上胜任的研究。3)通过试点供资机制，促进旨在减少健康差距的研究。4)加强少数民族健康调查人员（从本科生到教师）的职业发展，他们正在进行旨在通过文化上胜任的研究设计和干预措施促进健康和预防疾病的研究。汉普顿宾夕法尼亚减少健康差距中心将通过以下方式实现这些目标：1）一个行政核心，将促进两个机构之间的关系，并将提供基础设施支持; 2）一个试点核心，将提供资助机制，以促进开展旨在减少健康差距的研究; 3）一个指导核心，其中汉普顿大学和宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员之间的联盟将得到促进。研究的传播和社区外展对我们中心至关重要，因此这些活动将在本提案后面概述的试点核心和指导核心中进行。
