项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (CoBRE) will establish the Children's Health Equity Solutions Center (CHESC). The long-term goal of the CHESC is to eliminate unjust differences in children's health by race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status through effective translational science. The immediate goal of the CHESC is to build Oklahoma State University-Tulsa's research environment focused on discovering the sources of health inequities among children, and translating scientific results into solutions that eliminate children's health inequities. The CHESC's immediate goal will be achieved by accomplishing three specific aims, the CHESC will: 1) cultivate a cadre of independent researchers focused on discovering the bases for, and solutions to, children's health inequities; 2) establish the foundation and initial processes necessary to enable translational research focused on eliminating children's health inequities; and 3) build the scientific infrastructure needed to harness the growing field of available biomarkers and analytic techniques needed to delineate the bio-behavioral mechanisms linking the origins and outcomes of children's health inequities. The CHESC will be placed in Tulsa, OK: the nation's 46th largest city - yet lacks a comprehensive research university or major academic medical center, a community with remarkable children's health disparities, and in a state that consistently scores among the 10 worst states in the US in terms of child health outcomes. The CHESC will consist of an Administrative Core and a Methods Core led by an established NIH investigator and mentor and an Executive Committee (EC) of four additional established investigators or well-trained mentors. The EC will solicit advice annually from an exemplary External Advisory Committee (EAC), and (at least) quarterly advice from an Internal Advisory Committee (IAC). An expert external evaluator will provide semiannual and annual progress reports to the EC, EAC, and IAC. The CHESC will support and train three promising emerging investigators and transition them into independent status. The CHESC is significant; its focus on identifying solutions for children's health inequities addresses a critical barrier to achieving a national priority. The CHESC is innovative. Research centers focused on health disparities and inequities exist throughout the country; however, none of these centers focus specifically on children's health inequities.

描述（由适用提供）：拟议的生物医学研究卓越中心（Cobre）将建立儿童健康平等解决方案中心（CHESC）。 CHESC的长期目标是通过有效的转化科学来消除种族，种族和社会经济地位的儿童健康差异。 CHESC的直接目标是建立俄克拉荷马州立大学塔尔萨的研究环境，重点是发现儿童健康不平等的来源，并将科学结果转化为消除儿童健康不平等的解决方案。 CHESC的近期目标将通过完成三个特定目标来实现：1）培养一群专注于发现儿童健康不平等的基础和解决方案的独立研究人员； 2）建立必要的基础和初始过程，以使转化研究的重点是消除儿童的健康不平等； 3）建立要利用可用生物标志物和分析技术的不断增长的科学基础设施，以描述将儿童健康不平等的起源和结果联系起来的生物行为机制。 CHESC将被放置在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨：美国第46大城市 - 但缺乏全面的研究大学或主要的学术医学中心，一个具有显着儿童健康差异的社区，并且在儿童健康状况方面，在美国10个最差的州中始终如一地在美国的国家中得分。 CHESC将由由NIH的调查员和指导者和执行委员会（EC）领导的行政核心和方法核心组成，该委员会由四位又有四位既定的研究人员或受过良好训练的导师组成。 EC每年将从示例性的外部咨询委员会（EAC）和（至少）内部咨询委员会（IAC）征求建议。专家外部评估将向EC，EAC和IAC提供半年度和年度进度报告。 CHESC将支持并培训三名有前途的新兴调查员并将其转变为独立地位。 CHESC很重要。它的重点是确定儿童健康不平等解决方案，这旨在解决获得国家优先事项的关键障碍。 CHESC具有创新性。全国各地都有关注健康差异和不平等的研究中心；但是，这些中心都没有专门针对儿童的健康不平等。
