DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of New Mexico (UNM) proposes an innovative Center of Excellence titled the New Mexico Center for Advancement of Research, Engagement & Science on Health Disparities, or NM CARES HD. Based on an understanding of the common causes of health disparities across indigenous communities, NM CARES HD will apply a conceptual model that stresses three principles in interventions to eliminate those disparities: 1) community partnering, through community-based participatory research; 2) multifactoral, multilevel interventions within a cultural and social context; and, 3) translating evidence-based and community-based practice. NM CARES HD will build on the foundations of a strong set of established, collaborating institutional programs, nationally recognized expertise in several key areas, long-standing productive partnerships with Native American and Hispanic communities, and a diverse interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve its overall goal. That goal is to create a vigorous, self-sustaining, research center that advances the scientific base of knowledge about interventions and solutions to health disparities in Southwestern Native American and Hispanic communities. A strong team of investigators with senior, NIH- funded leadership has come together to meet the NM CARES HD specific aims. An Administrative Core, a Research Core, a Research Training and Education Core, and a Community Engagement Core together with two research projects will be the initial composition of the NMCOE it works toward meeting a set of specific aims and subaims. Those aims are to: 1. Establish a multidisciplinary research center that advances the science of interventions to eliminate health disparities among Southwestern Native American and Hispanic communities; 2. Enhance the ability of UNM researchers to compete for NIH individual, disparity- related research grants; 3. Build a partnership, dedicated to research on health disparities, between UNM investigators and community residents in Native American and Hispanic communities. In meeting these aims, NM CARES HD will develop innovative structures and resources to support the expansion of research on interventions to eliminate disparities in these communities. The combined resources and institutional commitments of new faculty, and pilot project and national conference support make success highly likely. RELEVANCE (See instructions):

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥大学（UNM）提出了一个创新的卓越中心，名为新墨西哥健康差异研究、参与和科学促进中心，或NM CARES HD。基于对土著社区之间健康差异的共同原因的理解，NM CARES HD将采用一个概念模型，强调干预措施中的三个原则，以消除这些差异：1)通过社区参与性研究开展社区合作；2)文化和社会背景下的多因素、多层次干预；3)转化基于证据和社区的实践。NM CARES HD将建立在一系列强大的、合作的机构项目的基础上，在几个关键领域拥有全国公认的专业知识，与美洲原住民和西班牙裔社区建立长期富有成效的伙伴关系，以及多样化的跨学科合作，以实现其总体目标。这一目标是建立一个充满活力、自我维持的研究中心，以推进有关干预措施和解决西南美洲原住民和西班牙裔社区健康差异的科学知识基础。一个强大的研究团队与高级，NIH资助的领导已经走到一起，以满足NM关怀HD的具体目标。一个行政核心、一个研究核心、一个研究培训和教育核心、一个社区参与核心以及两个研究项目将是NMCOE的初始组成，它致力于满足一系列具体目标和子目标。这些目标是：1。建立一个多学科研究中心，推进干预科学，消除西南美洲原住民和西班牙裔社区之间的健康差距；2. 提高新墨西哥大学研究人员竞争NIH个人、差异相关研究经费的能力；3. 在新墨西哥大学调查员与美洲原住民和西班牙裔社区居民之间建立伙伴关系，致力于研究健康差异。为了实现这些目标，妇幼保健署将开发创新的结构和资源，以支持扩大干预措施的研究，以消除这些社区的差距。新教师的综合资源和机构承诺，以及试点项目和国家会议支持，使成功的可能性很大。相关性（见说明）：
