This application is in response to RFA-MD-11-002, "NIMHD Comprehensive Centers of Excellence (P60)." The applicant organization is the Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health. We seek support to continue the work of the Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions (HCHDS) which was established in 2002 with funding from the NCMHD-EXPORT Center program. We propose to conduct three major research projects. The cross-cutting theme for these projects is "exploring health disparities in integrated settings." Our approach is to examine social determinants of health and healthcare disparities by using a novel study design which allows us to examine a verity of important research questions related to health disparities. In addition to our research mission, we propose three community health engagement initiatives, one with a rural community in Talbot County, MD. A second activity is with a community of hospitals who seek to improve disparities in healthcare outcomes. The third is a national activity with churches, universities and community-based organizations. Additionally, we propose to continue our highly successful work in training health professionals to become effective addressing health disparities. The specific aims of the center are: 1) To conduct research that advances knowledge of the biological, behavioral, and socio-environmental etiology of race disparities in health status; 2) To conduct research that advances knowledge of the determinants of race disparities in healthcare access, utilization, and quality of care; 3) To work with community-based partners to raise awareness of health disparities and aid them in their efforts to improve health and health-related outcomes; 4) To enhance the capacity of student and faculty researchers interested in health disparities research; and 5) To serve as a coordinating center and catalyst for the advancement of research and training related to health disparities at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere.

本申请是对RFA-MD-11-002“NIMHD综合卓越中心（P60）”的回应。“申请组织是约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院。我们寻求支持，以继续霍普金斯健康差距解决方案中心（HCHDS）的工作，该中心成立于2002年，由NCMHD出口中心计划提供资金。我们建议进行三项主要研究计划。这些项目的交叉主题是“探索综合环境中的健康差距。“我们的方法是通过使用一种新颖的研究设计来研究健康和医疗保健差距的社会决定因素，这种研究设计使我们能够研究与健康差距相关的一系列重要研究问题。除了我们的研究使命，我们提出了三个社区卫生参与倡议，一个是在马里兰州塔尔博特县的农村社区。第二项活动是与寻求改善医疗保健结果差异的医院社区合作。第三个是与教会、大学和社区组织一起开展的全国性活动。此外，我们建议继续开展我们在培训保健专业人员方面非常成功的工作，以便有效地解决保健差距问题。该中心的具体目标是： 1)进行研究，提高对健康状况种族差异的生物学，行为学和社会环境病因学的认识; 2)开展研究，以提高对医疗保健获取、利用和护理质量方面种族差异决定因素的认识; 3)与社区伙伴合作，提高对健康差距的认识，并帮助他们努力改善健康和与健康有关的成果; 4)提高对健康差异研究感兴趣的学生和教师研究人员的能力; 5)作为一个协调中心和催化剂，促进与约翰霍普金斯和其他地方的健康差距有关的研究和培训。
