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.

此申请是为了响应 RFA-MD-11-002“NIMHD 综合卓越中心 (P60)”。申请组织是约翰·霍普金斯大学布隆伯格公共卫生学院。我们寻求支持以继续霍普金斯健康差异解决方案中心 (HCHDS) 的工作，该中心成立于 2002 年，由 NCMHD-EXPORT 中心计划资助。我们建议开展三个重大研究项目。这些项目的跨领域主题是“探索综合环境中的健康差异”。我们的方法是通过使用新颖的研究设计来检查健康和医疗保健差异的社会决定因素，该设计使我们能够检查与健康差异相关的重要研究问题的真实性。除了我们的研究任务之外，我们还提出了三项社区健康参与倡议，其中一项是针对马里兰州塔尔伯特县的一个农村社区。第二项活动是与医院社区合作，寻求改善医疗保健结果的差异。第三个是与教堂、大学和社区组织合作的全国性活动。此外，我们建议继续开展非常成功的培训卫生专业人员的工作，以有效解决健康差距问题。该中心的具体目标是： 1) 开展研究，增进对健康状况种族差异的生物学、行为和社会环境病因学的了解； 2) 开展研究，增进对医疗保健获取、利用和护理质量方面种族差异决定因素的了解； 3) 与社区合作伙伴合作，提高对健康差异的认识，并帮助他们努力改善健康和健康相关成果； 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；和 5) 作为协调中心和催化剂，推动约翰·霍普金斯大学和其他地方与健康差异相关的研究和培训的进展。
