DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The proposed theme is to develop research to improve access to quality prevention and healthcare programs for racial and ethnic minorities with a goal of eliminating health disparities. The planned focus is on chronic disease disparities, based on the major sources of disparities, with initial emphasis on CVD, cancer, and associated risk factors of obesity, diabetes, tobacco use, physical inactivity, and risky sexual behavior. Initial proposed research projects include 1 Full and 6 Pilot Projects. We propose to align the Center with major sources of identified health disparities through an evidence-based process. Finally, we propose to develop 3 cores to support the Center: an Administrative Core to oversee day-to-day activities and establish policy for the proposed Center and interface with National and Local Advisory Committees; a Research Core to develop recommendations for Center directions based on an evidence-based approach to priority and heuristic theoretical model evolution; and an Education/Training Core to promote minority student recruitment into careers in health disparities research through a combined BA/MPH degree program in concert with Arkansas' three HBCUs. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health (COPH) was established in July 2001, after a public referendum led to the creation of a new College based on a carefully, strategically planned Vision, Mission, and Values, emphasizing the health and well-being of Arkansans and eliminating health disparities. The COPH, the lead in this application, is thus based on the very scientific focus of this application - the elimination of health disparities. Our commitment to the elimination of health disparities is evidenced by a number of structures and initiatives as described in our application. Nowhere is this organizational commitment more evident than with the Pi/Director for the proposed Center, Dr. Jim Raczynski, who is Founding Dean and former Founding Director for 9 years of the DAB Center for Health Promotion, one of CDC's Prevention Research Centers, focusing on primary prevention among African Americans in rural Alabama. As Dean, he acts as the chief executive/academic officer of the College, enabling him to ensure the adequacy of financial, space, and administrative support resources to ensure the success of the proposed Exploratory NCMHD in Arkansas, a commitment that is confirmed by by Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, the CEO of UAMS.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的主题是开展研究，以改善种族和少数民族获得高质量预防和医疗保健计划的机会，以消除健康差距。计划的重点是慢性病差异，基于差异的主要来源，最初的重点是心血管疾病，癌症，以及肥胖，糖尿病，烟草使用，身体不活动和危险性行为的相关风险因素。初步建议的研究项目包括1个全面项目和6个试点项目。我们建议通过以证据为基础的过程，使该中心与已确定的健康差距的主要来源保持一致。最后，我们建议开发3个核心来支持中心：一个行政核心，负责监督日常活动，为拟议的中心制定政策，并与国家和地方咨询委员会进行交流;一个研究核心，根据基于证据的优先级和启发式理论模型演变方法，为中心方向提出建议;和一个教育/培训核心，以促进少数民族学生招聘到职业生涯中的健康差距研究，通过一个联合的BA/MPH学位课程与阿肯色州的三个HBCU。阿肯色州医学科学大学（UAMS）Fay W.公共卫生学院（COPH）成立于2001年7月，经过全民公决导致了一个新的学院的基础上精心，战略规划的愿景，使命和价值观，强调阿肯色州的健康和福祉，消除健康差距的创建。因此，作为这一应用的牵头机构，公共卫生委员会是以这一应用的科学重点-消除健康差距-为基础的。我们致力于消除健康差距，这体现在我们的申请中所述的一些结构和举措中。这一组织承诺最明显的莫过于拟议中心的PI/主任Jim Raczynski博士，他是DAB健康促进中心的创始院长和前创始主任，该中心是CDC预防研究中心之一，专注于亚拉巴马农村非洲裔美国人的初级预防。作为院长，他担任学院的首席执行官/学术官员，使他能够确保财政，空间和行政支持资源的充足性，以确保拟议的探索性NCMHD在阿肯色州的成功，这是由校长确认的承诺。多德·威尔逊，UAMS的CEO。
