The Center for Bridging Research, Innovation, Teaching and Education Solutions for Minority Health (BRITE) is an academic-community partnership dedicated to eliminating health disparities in our diverse Los Angeles community and the nation. The BRITE Center for Minority Health draws on the expertise of UCLA and its diverse community partners to increase the number of individuals from health-disparity populations who are ¿ trained to conduct minority health and health disparities research ¿ participate in intervention, prevention and clinical trials research, and ¿ engaged in improving the health of their communities through sustained partnerships, workforce development and early detection screening activities. It has four strategic goals. 1) We will build on our strengths to provide an integrated, research home that facilitates and supports new and continued research on the health of racial/ethnic minorities and minority health disparities. 2) We will create effective, new community partnerships to conduct essential, leading-edge research with the tangible goal of improving minority health and reducing or eliminating health disparities. 3) We will initiate, improve, and strengthen existing research education and training activities to build a culturally competent healthcare workforce that will improve health and create living wage employment in health-disparities populations. 4) We will strengthen, increase and broaden partnerships between community and academic centers of knowledge to facilitate efficacious approaches to improve the health and health care services of racial/ethnic minority populations and eliminate health disparities. We will achieve these goals through Research Studies that address two big problems in our health-disparities population¿Korean youth cigarette smoking and diabetes in African American women¿and utilize cutting-edge, cost-effective and easily scalable health technology innovations for which UCLA is known. LA is an ethnic media capital and we have formed unique media partnerships to reach our population. Our community partners are involved and engaged in study design and recruitment, training, dissemination and implementation¿activities that will increase their capacity for research, improve minority health, build a culturally competent workforce, and create jobs.

少数民族健康桥接研究，创新，教学和教育解决方案中心（BRITE）是一个学术社区合作伙伴关系，致力于消除我们多元化的洛杉矶社区和国家的健康差距。BRITE少数民族健康中心利用加州大学洛杉矶分校及其不同社区合作伙伴的专业知识，增加健康差距人群中接受过少数民族健康和健康差距研究培训的人数，参与干预，预防和临床试验研究，通过持续的伙伴关系、劳动力发展和早期发现筛查活动，参与改善社区健康。它有四个战略目标。1)我们将建立在我们的优势，提供一个综合的，研究的家，促进和支持新的和持续的研究种族/少数民族和少数民族的健康差距。2)我们将建立有效的、新的社区伙伴关系，开展必要的、前沿的研究，以实现改善少数民族健康、减少或消除健康差距的切实目标。3)我们将启动、改进和加强现有的研究教育和培训活动，以建立一支文化上胜任的医疗卫生工作队伍，改善健康状况，并在健康差距人口中创造生活工资就业。4)我们将加强，增加和扩大知识的社区和学术中心之间的伙伴关系，以促进有效的方法来改善种族/少数民族人口的健康和医疗保健服务，消除健康差距。我们将通过研究来实现这些目标，这些研究解决了我们的健康差距人口中的两个大问题：韩国青年吸烟和非裔美国妇女的糖尿病，并利用加州大学洛杉矶分校众所周知的尖端，具有成本效益和易于扩展的健康技术创新。洛杉矶是一个民族媒体之都，我们已经形成了独特的媒体合作伙伴关系，以达到我们的人口。我们的社区合作伙伴参与并从事研究设计和招聘，培训，传播和实施活动，这将提高他们的研究能力，改善少数民族健康，建立一支文化能力强的劳动力队伍，并创造就业机会。
