Latinos Health Disparities Center

描述(由申请人提供)：康涅狄格州消除拉丁裔健康差距英才中心(CEHDL)是一项跨学科倡议，由康涅狄格大学(UConn)领导的一个财团与西班牙裔健康理事会(HHC)和哈特福德医院(HH)密切合作。CEHDLE将拥有一个核心，该核心将在各财团机构之间很好地整合，并具有明确的权力界限。研究、教育和培训核心将集中于招募、保留和形成健康差距领域中代表性不足的少数群体。这将通过以下方式实现：高中招生工作、本科生课程开发和暑期津贴、研究生一级的研究助理奖学金和学费支持，以及跨文化社区培训机会。。除了对减少健康差距的科学贡献外，这项研究还将作为CEHDL活动的培训和推广的主要机制。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Connecticut Center of Excellence for Eliminating Health Disparities among Latinos (CEHDL) is an interdisiciplinary initiative based on a consortium led by The University of Connecticut (UConn) in close partnership with The Hispanic Health Council (HHC), and Hartford Hospital (HH). CEHDL will have a core that is well integrated across consortium institutions and with clear lines of authority. The Research Education & Training Core will concentrate on the recruitment, retention, and formation of underrepresented minorities in the area of health disparities. This will be achieved through: high school recruitment efforts, undergraduate curriculum development and summer stipends, research assistantships and tuition support at the graduate level, and cross-cultural community based training opportunities. . In addition to its scientific contribution toward reducing health disparities, this study will serve as a prime mechanism for training and outreach for CEHDL activities.
