With continued support from the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities, we propose to build upon the strengths of our collaborative efforts to meaningfully contribute to the understanding and reduction of health disparities in South Carolina and in the southeastern region of the United States, by creating a Coordinating Center of Excellence in the Social Promotion of Health Equity Research, Education and Community Engagement (CCE-SPHERE) that will provide the basis for conducting basic science and community-based participatory research using a social science framework. This application expands the work started under our Center of Excellence in Cancer and HIV Research (Project EXPORT) that provided an opportunity to create a focused research partnership utilizing the strengths of an HBCU partner (Claflin University) and the University of South Carolina's Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities (USC-IPEHD. The current application takes the resident expertise in biological, social and behavioral science at USC-IPEHD and CU and an expansive community network to conduct basic, community-based participatory and translational research focused on HIV and HPV-mediated diseases, which could serve to replace health disparity with health equity in a targeted community. The activities proposed in this project will: (1) promote and increase health disparities and minority health research at the University of South Carolina and our partners; (2) increase the number of minority researchers conducting community-based participatory research in vulnerable and underserved communities; (3) recruit, train and mentor students, faculty and future research leaders who are from underrepresented populations wishing to conduct work in minority health or health disparities; (4) enhance our community partnerships in health disparities and minority health to improve the health status of minority populations in South Carolina and the southeastern region of the US; and (5) integrate the University's minority health and health disparities programs, institutions, and resources into a seamless infrastructure that fosters communication and collaboration across communities, academic disciplines, and institutional units.

在美国国立卫生研究院、国家少数民族健康和健康差异中心的持续支持下，我们建议利用我们合作努力的优势，通过建立一个卓越的社会促进健康公平研究协调中心，为理解和减少南卡罗来纳州和美国东南部地区的健康差异做出有意义的贡献，教育和社区参与（CCE-SPHERE）将为利用社会科学框架开展基础科学和基于社区的参与性研究提供基础。该应用程序扩展了我们的癌症和艾滋病毒研究卓越中心（项目出口）下开始的工作，该中心提供了一个机会，利用HBCU合作伙伴（克拉夫林大学）和南卡罗来纳州大学的合作伙伴关系，以消除健康差异（USC-IPEHD）的优势，建立一个有重点的研究伙伴关系。 目前的应用程序需要在生物，社会和行为科学在USC-IPEHD和CU的居民专业知识和广泛的社区网络进行基本的，以社区为基础的参与性和转化研究，重点是艾滋病毒和HPV介导的疾病，这可能有助于取代健康差距与健康公平在目标社区。该项目中提议的活动将：（1）促进和增加南卡罗来纳州大学及其合作伙伴的健康差距和少数群体健康研究;（2）增加少数群体研究人员的人数，在脆弱和服务不足的社区开展以社区为基础的参与性研究;（3）招募、培训和指导学生、教师和未来的研究领导人， （4）加强我们在健康差距和少数民族健康方面的社区伙伴关系，以改善南卡罗来纳州和美国东南部地区少数民族人口的健康状况;和（5）整合大学的少数民族健康和健康差距计划，机构，和资源整合到一个无缝的基础设施中，促进社区，学科和机构单位之间的沟通和协作。
