The long-range goal of this project is to establish a comprehensive Center for Cardiovascular Health Disparities Research (CCHDR) at Meharry Medical College (MMC). MMC, located in Nashville, TN., is the largest private, historically black academic health sciences center dedicated exclusively to educating health care professionals and biomedical scientists. Development of the CCHDR is critical to the population we serve given the severe health disparity in cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes in Tennessee and especially the North Nashville and Bordeaux/Whites Creek communities, primary health care catchment areas for MMC. These areas are approximately 80-90% African American. According to Tennessee Department of Health statistics, in 2005 (based on 2000 - 2002 data) the rate of death from heart disease and stroke in African Americans is one and a half times that of White Tennesseans. Likewise the death rate in African Americans from diabetes (a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke and end-stage renal disease) is twice that of White Tennesseans. These statistics are even more alarming given that overall Tennessee ranks the 3rd highest in the nation for cardiovascular-related deaths (Source: Tennessee Department of Health, Office of Policy, Planning and Assessment, Division of Health Statistics). The specifics aims of this Phase I application are to: 1. Establish an External Advisory Board of accomplished cardiovascular scientists with experience in developing and administering center programs. The External Advisory Board will assist in recruiting the senior cardiovascular scientist (see below); 2. Recruit a senior cardiovascular scientist with a history of sustained independent funding and leadership experience in research programs and/or centers; and 3. Develop a five-year strategic plan that will guide the development of the Phase II application.

该项目的长期目标是在梅哈里医学院 (MMC) 建立一个综合性心血管健康差异研究中心 (CCHDR)。 MMC 位于田纳西州纳什维尔，是历史上最大的私立黑人学术健康科学中心，专门致力于教育医疗保健专业人员和生物医学科学家。鉴于田纳西州，特别是北纳什维尔和波尔多/怀茨克里克社区（MMC 的初级卫生保健服务区）在心血管疾病、中风和糖尿病方面存在严重的健康差距，CCHDR 的发展对我们服务的人群至关重要。这些地区大约 80-90% 是非裔美国人。据田纳西州卫生部统计，2005年（基于2000年至2002年的数据）非裔美国人心脏病和中风的死亡率是田纳西州白人的一倍半。同样，非裔美国人死于糖尿病（心脏病、中风和终末期肾病的主要危险因素）的死亡率是田纳西州白人的两倍。鉴于总体而言，这些统计数据更加令人震惊 田纳西州心血管相关死亡人数位居全国第三（来源：田纳西州卫生部、政策、规划和评估办公室、卫生统计司）。 第一阶段申请的具体目标是： 1. 建立一个由具有开发和管理中心项目经验的资深心血管科学家组成的外部顾问委员会。外部顾问委员会将协助招聘高级心血管科学家（见下文）； 2. 招募一名在研究项目和/或中心具有持续独立资助和领导经验的资深心血管科学家；和 3. 制定五年战略计划，指导二期应用的开发。
