DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term aim of this proposal is to establish the Texas Southern University Center of Excellence in Health Disparities Research (TSU-CEHDR). The CEDHR's primary objective is to augment and strengthen TSU's institutional infrastructure and capacity to conduct research aimed at addressing health disparities. The proposed CEHDR will include an Administrative Core, a Research Core, a Training/Mentoring Core, and a Community Outreach/Dissemination Core. The goals of the Administrative Core are to: 1) coordinate research, community outreach/dissemination, and training/mentoring components and 2) facilitate interinstitutional collaboration. The goal of the Research Core is to train Faculty Fellows to examine biological, clinical, and sociological factors related to cardiovascular disease and stroke in minority populations. These projects will be carried out in coordination with TSU's existing Center for Cardiovascular Diseases and the Research Centers in Minority Institutions-Institute for Biomedical and Health Disparities Research. Pilot research projects will focus on 1) factors affecting information transfer between research centers and local communities, 2) factors in clinical settings that affect cardiovascular health, and 3) endogenous mediators of hypertension and stroke. The goal of the Community Outreach/Dissemination Core is to disseminate research from the CEHDR into targeted communities (K-12, health professions, community-based organizations, community residents, and researchers at Texas Medical Center Institutions) by linking with an existing network of community health collaboratives in the Houston area. This network, developed by St. Luke's Episcopal Health Charities (sub-component of a tertiary care health system), actively addresses local health concerns in 10 multi-ethnic neighborhoods highly affected by health disparities. The goal of the Training/Mentoring Core is to provide mentoring by linking junior faculty at TSU with established researchers at TSU, Houston Center for Quality of Care and Utilization Studies, and Baylor College of Medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的长期目标是建立德克萨斯南方大学健康差异研究卓越中心（TSU-CEHDR）。该中心的主要目标是扩大和加强大津国立大学的体制基础设施和能力，以开展旨在解决健康差距的研究。拟议的CEHDR将包括一个行政核心、一个研究核心、一个培训/指导核心和一个社区外联/传播核心。行政核心的目标是：（1）协调研究、社区外联/传播和培训/指导部分;（2）促进机构间合作。研究核心的目标是培训教员研究与少数民族人群心血管疾病和中风相关的生物学，临床和社会学因素。这些项目将与大津现有的心血管疾病中心和少数民族研究所生物医学和健康差异研究所的研究中心协调进行。试点研究项目将侧重于1）影响研究中心和当地社区之间信息传递的因素，2）临床环境中影响心血管健康的因素，以及3）高血压和中风的内源性介质。社区外展/传播核心的目标是传播研究从CEHDR到目标社区（K-12，卫生专业人员，社区组织，社区居民和研究人员在得克萨斯州医疗中心机构）通过与社区卫生协作在休斯敦地区的现有网络连接。该网络由圣卢克主教健康慈善机构（三级保健系统的子组成部分）开发，积极解决受健康差距严重影响的10个多民族社区的当地健康问题。培训/指导核心的目标是通过将大津大学的初级教师与大津大学、休斯顿护理质量和利用研究中心和贝勒医学院的知名研究人员联系起来，提供指导。
