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.

该应用是响应RFA-MD-11-002，“ NIMHD综合卓越中心（P60）”。申请人组织是彭博公共卫生学院的约翰·霍普金斯大学。我们寻求支持，以继续霍普金斯卫生差异解决方案中心（HCHD）的工作，该工作于2002年建立，并通过NCMHD-Export Center计划提供了资金。我们建议开展三个主要的研究项目。这些项目的横切主题是“探索综合设置中的健康差异”。我们的方法是通过使用一种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，该设计使我们能够研究与健康差异有关的重要研究问题的真实性。除了我们的研究任务外，我们还提出了三项社区健康参与计划，其中一项由马里兰州塔尔伯特县的一个农村社区。第二项活动是与试图改善医疗保健结果差异的医院社区。第三个是由教会，大学和社区组织进行的全国活动。此外，我们建议继续在培训卫生专业人员方面取得非常成功的工作，以有效解决健康差异。该中心的具体目的是： 1）进行研究，以了解健康状况上种族差异的生物学，行为和社会环境病因； 2）进行研究，以促进了解医疗保健访问，利用和护理质量的种族差异决定因素的知识； 3）与社区合作伙伴合作，以提高对健康差异的认识，并帮助他们努力改善与健康相关的结果； 4）增强对健康差异研究感兴趣的学生和教职员工研究人员的能力；和 5）作为与约翰·霍普金斯及其他地方健康差异有关的研究和培训的协调中心和催化剂。
