DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) proposes to establish a Center of Excellence in Partnerships for Community Outreach, Research on Health Disparities and Training (PROJECT EXPORT) to be called the Bronx Center to Reduce and Eliminate Ethnic and Racial Health Disparities (BxCREED). The proposal originates in the College of Medicine's initiatives in building academic-community partnerships through its Institute for Community and Collaborative Health and Hispanic Center of Excellence and through its long-standing relationships with Herbert H. Lehman College-CUNY (a Hispanic-Serving Institution), Health Force--Community Preventive Health Institute (a community-based peer education organization), the Clinical Directors Network (CDN), and AECOM' s affiliated teaching hospitals, Montefiore and Jacobi Medical Centers. The overall mission of BxCREED is to reduce and eliminate ethnic and racial health disparities in the Bronx, New York City, and the nation through promotion, coordination, and integration of health disparities research at the College of Medicine; community outreach, information dissemination, and collaboration; health disparities education for health professionals, community members, policy-makers and public officials; training of investigators at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral levels; and strengthening and expanding existing academic-community partnerships in the Bronx. The initial focus of BxCREED will be the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention and treatment of the cluster of conditions associated with the greatest source of excess morbidity and mortality among African-Americans and Latinos in the Bronx and the nation--cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and their complications. Because African-American and Latino populations suffer higher rates of the multiple risk factors that lead to death and disability (i.e., diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemias, obesity, smoking, and low educational and socioeconomic status, etc.) BxCREED will emphasize comprehensive, culturally- and linguistically-appropriate interventions that draw upon Health Force' s expertise in training and supporting lay peer educators in research and intervention. BxCREED will be guided by social ecology and family systems theories and the biopsychosocial model. Specific Aims will include the establishment of a new Bronx consortium Masters in Public Health degree program at Lehman College; an AECOM Health Disparities Faculty Development Fellowship culminating in a post-doctoral Masters degree in Clinical Research Methods through the AECOM Clinical Research Training Program; health disparities webcasts through CDN; and close collaboration with the AECOM Hispanic Center of Excellence and Diabetes Research and Training Center and the CDC-funded Bronx REACH 2010. BxCREED will establish Administrative, Research and Pilot Study, Training, Community Outreach and Information Dissemination, Health Disparities Education, and Shared Resources Cores.

描述（由申请人提供）：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院（AECOM）提议建立一个社区外展，健康差异研究和培训合作伙伴关系卓越中心（项目出口），称为布朗克斯中心，以减少和消除种族和种族健康差异（BxCREED）。该提案源于医学院通过其社区和协作健康研究所和西班牙裔卓越中心建立学术社区伙伴关系的倡议，并通过其与纽约市立大学赫伯特·h·雷曼学院（西班牙裔服务机构）、卫生部队社区预防健康研究所（基于社区的同伴教育组织）、临床主任网络（CDN）、以及AECOM的附属教学医院Montefiore和Jacobi医疗中心。BxCREED的总体使命是通过促进、协调和整合医学院的健康差异研究，减少和消除布朗克斯区、纽约市和全国的种族和种族健康差异；社区外展、信息传播和协作；对卫生专业人员、社区成员、决策者和政府官员进行健康差异教育；培养本科生、研究生和博士后水平的研究人员；加强和扩大布朗克斯现有的学术社区伙伴关系。BxCREED最初的重点将是初级、二级和三级预防和治疗与布朗克斯和全国非裔美国人和拉丁裔美国人过度发病率和死亡率的最大来源相关的一系列疾病——心脑血管疾病、糖尿病及其并发症。由于非裔美国人和拉丁裔人口在导致死亡和残疾的多种风险因素（即糖尿病、高血压、血脂异常、肥胖、吸烟、低教育和社会经济地位等）方面的发病率较高，BxCREED将强调综合的、文化和语言上适当的干预措施，利用卫生部队在培训和支持非专业同伴教育工作者进行研究和干预方面的专业知识。BxCREED将以社会生态学和家庭系统理论以及生物心理社会模型为指导。具体目标将包括在雷曼学院建立一个新的布朗克斯财团公共卫生硕士学位课程；获得AECOM健康差异教师发展奖学金，并通过AECOM临床研究培训计划获得临床研究方法博士后硕士学位；通过CDN进行健康差距网播；并与AECOM西班牙裔卓越中心和糖尿病研究与培训中心以及美国疾病控制与预防中心资助的布朗克斯REACH 2010密切合作。BxCREED将建立行政管理、研究和试点研究、培训、社区外展和信息传播、健康差异教育和共享资源核心。
