DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The heart of Morehouse School of Medicine's (MSM) mission has been a commitment to excellence in education, clinical service and research since its inception. Our goal is to provide the people and the strategies that lend to the elimination of disparities in health. Based on the need to continue to develop capacity, the area of emphasis addressed in this application is the development of a perpetual resource to support and sustain minority health and health disparities research across Centers and Institutes at MSM. In the last two decades, MSM has established a basic framework for a strong research enterprise as noted by the creation of several Centers and Institutes to further develop research scientists and public health professionals who address discrete areas of health disparities research. Visionary leadership at MSM recognized the critical importance of initiating programs in primary care as well as the development of an effective educational and care delivery framework to serve the underserved in urban and rural areas. The continuation of the Research Endowment funding is a vitally important mechanism that will facilitate the institution's commitment to become a leader in eliminating health disparities and closing the health gap for minorities and the medically underserved. The proposed funds are vital to the attainment of the institution's goal of achieving national eminence as a leading institution in the area of health disparities research. MSM will leverage these endowment funds to secure additional funds to accomplish the program objectives which are: (1) recruiting faculty with interest in basic, bio-behavioral and clinical research of diseases disproportionately affecting minorities; (2) retaining and supporting the efforts of current faculty in continuing or expanding their portfolio to include health disparities research; (3) developing a research infrastructure that supports cutting edge technologies and skilled technical staff which will enhance fundable research applications.

描述(由申请人提供)：莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)自成立以来，一直致力于在教育、临床服务和研究方面做到卓越。我们的目标是为消除健康差距提供人员和战略。基于继续发展能力的需要，这项申请的重点领域是开发一种永久性资源，以支持和维持MSM各中心和研究所的少数群体健康和健康差距研究。在过去的二十年里，MSM已经建立了一个强大的研究企业的基本框架，正如几个中心和研究所的创建所指出的那样，以进一步培养研究科学家和公共卫生专业人员，解决健康差距研究的离散领域。MSM富有远见的领导层认识到启动初级保健计划以及发展有效的教育和保健交付框架以服务于城市和农村地区未得到充分服务的人的关键重要性。 继续提供研究捐赠资金是一个极其重要的机制，它将促进该机构致力于成为消除健康差距和缩小少数群体和医疗服务不足者健康差距的领导者。拟议的资金对于实现该机构作为健康差距研究领域领先机构的国家地位的目标至关重要。MSM将利用这些捐赠基金获得额外资金，以实现计划目标：(1)招聘对对少数群体影响不成比例的疾病的基础、生物行为和临床研究感兴趣的教员；(2)保留和支持现有教员继续或扩大他们的投资组合，以包括健康差异研究；(3)开发支持尖端技术和熟练技术人员的研究基础设施，这将增强可资助的研究应用。
