DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a NIMHD Exploratory Center of Excellence (P20) grant for a 5 year competitive renewal of the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities' Center of Excellence (COE) at North Carolina Central University (NCCU). Renamed as the NCCU Center for Translational Health Equality Research, this Center will integrate and centralize ongoing minority health and health disparities research into a single interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary enterprise and establish novel effective partnerships with organizations and communities for conducting basic and translational research that ultimately results in positive transformations in minority health and elimination of health disparities. The Center will be committed to focus on minority health and specifically on the higher prevalence of cardiometabolic risk in minorities that result in morbidity and mortality rates in excess of the general U.S. population. The Center will be operated via four cores: 1) Administrative; 2) Research; 3) Research Training and Education; and 4) Community Engagement and Outreach. The Research Core will oversee 2 full projects as described in the grant application, while fostering novel transdisciplinary partnerships with investigators from Nursing, Public Health, Computer Science, Education and community organizations serving the medical needs of minority populations. Finally, the Community Engagement and Outreach Core will conduct studies on a rural medically underserved minority population in North Caroling to explore the role of factors, such as community health-promoting infrastructure and interpersonal relationships, in positively and continuously affecting trajectories of type 2 diabetes progression in this community. These pioneering community engagement projects will be pivotal in assessing optimal strategies for disease management and participation among minority communities to improve cardiometabolic health and eliminate health disparities. Overall, the NCCU Center for Translational Health Equality Research will exemplify a center of research excellence through the assimilation of innovative multidisciplinary basic and translational research that promotes minority health and reduces health disparities, exemplary research training and education that increases the number of meritorious researchers from minority and medically underserved populations, and pioneering Outreach studies that actively engages a rural minority community in effective and sustainable activities for improve community health and better disease management.

描述(由申请者提供)：本申请是NIMHD探索性卓越中心(P20)赠款，用于北卡罗来纳中央大学(NCCU)国家少数民族健康和健康差距研究所卓越中心(COE)为期5年的竞争性续签。该中心更名为NCCU转化性健康平等研究中心，将把正在进行的少数群体健康和健康差距研究整合并集中到一个跨学科和跨学科的单一企业中，并与组织和社区建立新的有效伙伴关系，开展基础和转化性研究，最终导致少数群体健康的积极转变和消除健康差距。该中心将致力于关注少数群体的健康，特别是少数群体心脏代谢风险的较高流行率，这些风险导致的发病率和死亡率高于美国一般人口。该中心将通过四个核心运作：1)行政；2)研究；3)研究、培训和教育；4)社区参与和外联。研究核心将监督拨款申请中描述的两个完整项目，同时促进与护理、公共卫生、计算机科学、教育和社区组织的研究人员建立新的跨学科伙伴关系，服务于少数族裔人口的医疗需求。最后，社区参与和外联核心将对北卡罗来纳州农村医疗服务不足的少数群体进行研究，以探索社区促进健康的基础设施和人际关系等因素在积极和持续影响该社区2型糖尿病发展轨迹方面的作用。这些开创性的社区参与项目将在评估疾病管理和少数群体社区参与改善心脏代谢健康和消除健康差距的最佳战略方面发挥关键作用。总体而言，NCCU转换健康平等研究中心将通过吸收促进少数群体健康和减少健康差距的创新多学科基础和转换研究，模范研究培训和教育，增加来自少数群体和医疗服务不足人群的有价值的研究人员的数量，以及开创性的外联研究，积极让农村少数群体参与有效和可持续的活动，改善社区健康和更好的疾病管理，成为优秀研究中心的典范。
