项目摘要

African Americans share a disproportionate burden of the morbidity and mortality associated with conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and others. Yet, they constitute a disproportionate 5 percent of biomedical and behavioral researchers within the US. There is, therefore, a need for greater involvement of African Americans in health disparities research. The establishment of the Center for Cardiovascular Diseases (CCD) at Texas Southern University (TSU) was to enhance biomedical research capability of TSU and ultimately address health and other problems that disproportionately affect urban minorities. The CCD initiated basic research activities targeted at cardiovascular diseases that are prominent among African Americans through activities that include but not limited to seminars, journal clubs, laboratory training of undergraduate and graduate students, and advanced training for postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty. These activities have met the goals of enhancing biomedical research capacity building at TSU. However, a clinical/public health research component is missing. The primary goal of this proposal, therefore, is to build upon the existing programs and resources available in TSU's Center for Cardiovascular Diseases by promoting resources for biomedical research training capacity in health disparities research. The specific aims of this proposal are to: 1. Support the retention of a recently hired junior-level faculty investigator for behavioral research. 2. Establish a new Center for Health Disparities Research and support the recruitment of additional investigators in health disparities research.

非裔美国人在心血管疾病、某些癌症、人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）、性传播感染（STIs）等疾病相关的发病率和死亡率方面承担着不成比例的负担。然而，在美国的生物医学和行为研究人员中，他们占了不成比例的5%。因此，有必要让非裔美国人更多地参与健康差异研究。德克萨斯南方大学心血管疾病中心的建立是为了提高德克萨斯南方大学的生物医学研究能力，并最终解决严重影响城市少数民族的健康和其他问题。CCD发起了针对非裔美国人中突出的心血管疾病的基础研究活动，包括但不限于研讨会、期刊俱乐部、本科生和研究生的实验室培训以及博士后研究员和初级教员的高级培训。这些活动达到了加强托国立生物医学研究能力建设的目标。然而，缺少临床/公共卫生研究部分。因此，本提案的主要目标是建立在托国立心血管疾病中心现有的项目和资源基础上，通过促进生物医学研究的资源，培训健康差异研究的能力。
