SIRC Research Core

项目总结（见说明）： 研究核心的使命是解决知识差距的健康社会决定因素的作用在创建，减少和消除健康差距的因素，重点是少数民族人口生活沿着美国-墨西哥边境地区。该中心的研究将继续推进健康的社会决定因素，以便采用多层次方法，将文化进程纳入减少和消除健康差距的工作。将健康差距界定为受 由于健康信息和资源中心的工作涉及多个层面（个人、同龄人、家庭、学校、社区），它不仅将扩大关于健康差异如何受到这些多层面影响的知识，而且还将表明，为减少健康差异而采取的有效干预措施必须将文化和这些多系统结合起来。研究中心将支持研究活动和促进知识，为健康差异研究项目提供概念、方法和统计支持;支持开发新的赠款申请和执行进一步阐明健康差异机制的研究项目 少数种族/族裔;提供有效的传播健康差距的机制，以学术，社区和机构或供应商的观众，以促进转化研究;提供全面的支持，为中心的健康差距研究的研究需求;协调研究专业知识和资源与研究教育和培训核心，以发展下一代的健康差距学者;与社区合作伙伴和社区外展/参与核心合作，促进和改善少数民族人口的健康;并评估研究核心在解决健康差距方面的有效性。这些职能有助于创造一个成功的科学环境，增加核心的成功概率，在中心的研究过程中分配资源给所有利益相关者，并最终帮助减少少数民族的健康差距。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Research Core's mission is to address knowledge gaps on the role of social determinants of health¿including cultural processes¿as factors in the creation, reduction and elimination of health disparities with a focus on the ethnic minority populations living along the U.S.-Mexico border region. SIRC's research will continue to advance social determinants of health to include cultural processes in the reduction and elimination of health disparities using a multilevel approach. Framing health disparities as influenced by multiple levels (individual, peers, family, school, conimunity), SIRC will not only extend knowledge of how health disparities are influenced by these multiple levels but demonstrate that effective interventions employed to reduce health disparities must integrate culture and these multiple systems. The Research Core will supporting research activities and advance knowledge by providing conceptual, methodological and statistical support to health disparities research projects; supporting the development of new grant applications and the execution of research projects that further elucidate mechanisms of health disparities among racial/ethnic minorities; providing effective dissemination of health disparities' mechanisms to academic, community, and agency or provider audiences to promote translational research; providing comprehensive support for of the research needs of the Center's health disparities studies; coordinating research expertise and resources with the Research Education and Training Core to develop the next generation of health disparities scholars; collaborating with community partners and the Community Outreach/Engagement Core to promote and improve health among minority populations; and evaluating the effectiveness of the Research Core in addressing health disparities. These functions serve to create a successful scientific environment, to increase the probability of the Core's success, to allocate resources to all the stakeholders in the Center's research process, and to ultimately help reduce minority health disparities.
