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（申请人提供）：布鲁克林健康差异中心是一个新颖的伙伴关系，成立于2004年，（亚瑟阿什城市健康研究所），一个政府机构（布鲁克林区主席办公室）和一个学术研究机构（SUNY - Downstate Medical Center）致力于减少布鲁克林的健康差距，提高学者的参与水平，社区成员和政策制定者在这个过程中。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/民族健康差距，并在学术界，社区和政策利益相关者之间传播随后的临床和社区定义的循证健康调查结果。具体目标是：1）建立一个充满活力的研究基础设施，以促进纽约州立大学Downstate的五个学院，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）在纽约布鲁克林的高优先级主题上进行严格的社区参与研究（即艾滋病毒和心脏代谢疾病）; 3）继续促进和加强地方社区伙伴关系，以制定社区参与的研究举措和减少差距的政策举措;和4）培训高中，本科和研究生水平的代表性不足的少数民族（URM），以解决健康差距在布鲁克林通过采用社区参与的方法。为了解决研究目标，BHDC将建立在以前的研讨会上，以教育社区合作伙伴，BHDC青年暑期实习计划，以及URM初级教师的培训计划。具体而言，该中心将：举办研讨会，以促进健康差距研究人员在Downstate医疗中心和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的艾滋病毒干预研究和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停社区参与的筛查项目;将为URM的本科生和硕士生创建一个培训/指导计划，并将为URM高中生扩展既定的健康差异课程。促进公平的社区-学术-政府合作，开发社区参与的项目，并增加成功的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健康专业多样性的承诺是一致的。拟议的项目将大大增加减少和消除保健差距的适当可推广模式。
