DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brooklyn Health Disparities Center is a novel partnership formed in 2004 between a community-based organization (Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health), a government agency (Office of the Brooklyn Borough President) and an academic research institution (SUNY - Downstate Medical Center) that is committed to reducing health disparities in Brooklyn and increasing the level of engagement of academics, community members, and policy makers in the process. The long-term objectives of the Center are to foster community engaged research that contributes to the elimination of racial/ethnic health disparities in Brooklyn, New York and disseminate the ensuing clinically and community defined evidence-based health findings among academic, community, and policy stakeholders. The specific aims are: 1) to establish a dynamic research infrastructure that will foster community-engaged research collaborations among SUNY Downstate's five colleges, the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health, and its community partners in Brooklyn, NY; 2) conduct methodologically rigorous community-engaged research on high priority topics in Brooklyn, NY (i.e. HIV and cardiometabolic diseases); 3) continue to foster and strengthen local community partnerships to develop community-engaged research initiatives and disparity reducing policy initiatives; and 4) train high school, undergraduate, and graduate level underrepresented minorities (URM) to address health disparities in Brooklyn by employing community engaged approaches. In order to address the research aims, the BHDC will build on previous workshops s to educate community partners, the BHDC Youth summer internship program, and a training program for URM junior faculty. Specifically, the Center will: host seminars to facilitate partnerships between health disparities researchers at Downstate Medical Center and community members to initiate grants and research projects; implement and develop a community engaged HIV intervention study and an obstructive sleep apnea community-engaged screening project; a training/mentoring program will be created for URM undergraduate and master's level students, and an established health disparities curriculum will be expanded for URM high school students. Fostering equitable community-academic-government collaborations, developing community-engaged projects, and increasing the number of successful URM researchers is consistent with the Brooklyn Health Disparities Center's commitment of reducing health disparities and increasing diversity in the health professions. The proposed projects will significantly add to appropriate replicable models for reducing and eliminating health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：布鲁克林健康差异中心是2004年由一个社区组织（阿瑟·阿什城市健康研究所）、一个政府机构（布鲁克林区总统办公室）和一个学术研究机构（纽约州立大学-下州医疗中心）建立的一个新的合作伙伴关系，致力于减少布鲁克林的健康差异，并提高学者、社区成员和政策制定者在这一过程中的参与程度。该中心的长期目标是促进社区参与的研究，有助于消除纽约布鲁克林的种族/族裔健康差异，并在学术界、社区和政策利益攸关方之间传播随后的临床和社区确定的循证健康研究结果。具体目标是：1)建立一个动态的研究基础设施，以促进纽约州立大学下州分校的五所学院、亚瑟·阿什城市健康研究所及其在纽约布鲁克林的社区合作伙伴之间的社区参与研究合作；2)就纽约布鲁克林的高优先主题（即艾滋病毒和心脏代谢疾病）开展方法严谨的社区参与研究；3)继续促进和加强本地社区的伙伴关系，以发展社区参与的研究计划和减少差距的政策措施；4)培训高中、本科和研究生水平的未被充分代表的少数族裔（URM），通过采用社区参与的方法来解决布鲁克林的健康差距问题。为了实现研究目标，BHDC将在之前的研讨会基础上教育社区合作伙伴，BHDC青年暑期实习计划和URM初级教师培训计划。具体而言，该中心将：举办研讨会，促进下州医疗中心的健康差异研究人员与社区成员之间的伙伴关系，以启动赠款和研究项目；实施和发展社区参与艾滋病毒干预研究和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停社区参与筛查项目；将为乌拉尔医科大学的本科生和硕士生设立培训/指导计划，并将为乌拉尔医科大学的高中生扩大现有的健康差异课程。促进公平的社区-学术-政府合作，发展社区参与的项目，增加成功的URM研究人员的数量，与布鲁克林健康差异中心减少健康差异和增加卫生专业多样性的承诺是一致的。拟议的项目将大大增加适当的可复制模式，以减少和消除健康差距。
