DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is submitted in response to RFA NR -02 0004, Nursing Partnership Centers on Health Disparities Grants. Yale School of Nursing (YSN) and the Howard University Division of Nursing (HUDON) propose to develop a Partnership Center on Reducing Health Disparities by Self and Family Management. Self-management encompasses a broad range of health, lifestyle, behavioral and self-assessment and treatment activities practiced by an individual in the context of the family, often with the support of nurses. Self and family management activities vary across socioeconomic status, gender and ethnic/cultural background. Within certain groups, disparities exist in risk to health status, access to health care and in treatment outcomes. We believe that self-management represents one promising avenue for eliminating these disparities. With better understanding of self-management approaches in populations experiencing health disparities, nursing interventions can be developed to support self-management and eliminate health disparities. The Center builds on an existing partnership between YSN and HUDON: the federally funded Yale-Howard Scholars Program. The scientific focus of the Partnership Center extends the work of YSN's funded Exploratory Center on Self-Management Interventions for Populations at Risk into the area of disparities. The Partnership Center will build capacity by recruiting and developing nurse scientists to conduct culturally relevant and competent research to eliminate health disparities. The Center will be under the direction of Drs. Catherine Gilliss (YSN) & Dorothy Powell (HUDON), and will include: Administrative Core (Gilliss/Powell; Drs. Grey [YSN] & Nichols [HUDON]); Pilot/Feasibility Core (Drs. Williams YSN] & Austin [Howard University]; Research Mentoring Core (Drs. Funk [YSN] & Ruff [HUDON]; and Research/Outreach Dissemination Core (Drs. McCorkle [YSN] & Jordan [HUDON]). Proposals for four pilot studies are included with this application. In addition to building investigator capacity, our long-term goal includes the establishment of an Office of Research Affairs at HUDON.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是根据RFA NR -02 0004，护理伙伴关系中心健康差异拨款而提交的。耶鲁大学护理学院（YSN）和霍华德大学护理学院（HUDON）提议建立一个伙伴关系中心，通过自我和家庭管理来减少健康差距。自我管理包括广泛的健康、生活方式、行为和自我评估以及个人在家庭背景下进行的治疗活动，通常在护士的支持下进行。自我和家庭管理活动因社会经济地位、性别和种族/文化背景而异。在某些群体中，健康状况面临的风险、获得保健服务的机会和治疗结果存在差异。我们认为，自我管理是消除这些不平等的一个有希望的途径。通过更好地了解存在健康差异的人群的自我管理方法，可以制定护理干预措施，以支持自我管理和消除健康差异。该中心建立在YSN和HUDON之间现有的合作伙伴关系：联邦资助的耶鲁-霍华德学者计划。伙伴关系中心的科学重点将YSN资助的风险人群自我管理干预探索中心的工作扩展到差异领域。伙伴关系中心将通过招聘和培养护士科学家开展与文化相关和有能力的研究来建立能力，以消除健康差距。该中心将由dr。凯瑟琳·吉利斯（YSN）和多萝西·鲍威尔（HUDON），将包括：行政核心(吉利斯/鲍威尔；Grey [YSN] & Nichols [HUDON])；试点/可行性核心（博士）Williams YSN和Austin [Howard University]；研究指导核心（博士）Funk [YSN] & Ruff [HUDON]；和研究/外展传播核心（博士）。McCorkle [YSN] & Jordan [HUDON])。本申请包括四项试点研究的建议。除了培养研究人员的能力，我们的长期目标还包括在休斯敦大学建立一个研究事务办公室。
