The goal of Virginia Common Wealth University's (VCU) National Institute for Minority Health Disparities (NIMHD) Comprehensive Center of Excellence (CoEHDR) for Health Disparities Research application is to bring together the academic and target community in a collaborative research partnership to address Preterm Birth. This renewal application prioritizes fundamental research in race-specific genetic and infectious causes of preterm birth, and environment-epigenetic associations that influence prematurity. It also emphasizes capacity building to promote community participation in the research endeavor by training investigators in epidemiology, clinical outcomes research, and social and behavioral science methods and analyses; conceptualizing and implementing strategies that are developmentally, culturally and environmentally appropriate in engaging community participation. Specific aims of the NIMHD CoEHDR in Health Disparities Research at VCU are: Aim 1: Expand and strengthen the existing community partnership to include participation in preterm birth related research. The community outreach core will coordinate institutional community outreach activities with the research and research training cores. Aim 2: Conduct inter-disciplinary, fundamental and epidemiological research that will advance our understanding of the incidence of preterm birth that is a significant racial/ethnic health disparit. Aim 3: Provide research training for medical and graduate students, residents, postdoctoral fellows and faculty to enhance their knowledge and skills for conducting community based participatory research. Health services research related to health disparities training will be integrated into the curriculum of students, residents, and faculty including topics on health services research methods and analyses, community participation, and cultural competency. The center will continue to bring together an interdisciplinary team of social and behavioral scientists, epidemiologists, clinical investigators, basic scientists and educators, and community representatives to work together to consider and apply novel and emerging scientific information, methods, and technologies to research into human health and diseases across specialties, disciplines, and communities.

弗吉尼亚共同财富大学（VCU）国家少数民族健康差异研究所（NIMHD）综合卓越中心（CoEHDR）健康差异研究应用的目标是将学术界和目标社区聚集在一起，建立合作研究伙伴关系，以解决早产问题。这项更新申请优先考虑对早产的种族特异性遗传和感染原因以及影响早产的环境表观遗传关联的基础研究。它还强调能力建设，以促进社区参与研究奋进，培训调查人员在流行病学，临床结果研究，社会和行为科学的方法和分析;概念化和实施战略，是发展，文化和环境适当的参与社区。NIMHD CoEHDR在VCU健康差异研究中的具体目标是： 目标1：扩大和加强现有的社区合作伙伴关系，包括参与早产相关研究。社区外联核心将与研究和研究培训核心协调机构社区外联活动。 目标二：进行跨学科，基础和流行病学研究，这将促进我们对早产发生率的理解，这是一个重要的种族/民族健康障碍。 目标三：为医学和研究生，居民，博士后研究员和教师提供研究培训，以提高他们进行社区参与性研究的知识和技能。与健康差距培训相关的卫生服务研究将纳入学生，居民和教师的课程，包括卫生服务研究方法和分析，社区参与和文化能力的主题。 该中心将继续汇集社会和行为科学家，流行病学家，临床研究人员，基础科学家和教育工作者以及社区代表的跨学科团队，共同考虑和应用新的和新兴的科学信息，方法和技术，以研究人类健康和疾病跨专业，学科和社区。
