 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(由申请者提供)：拟建的生物医学研究卓越中心(COBRE)将建立儿童健康公平解决方案中心(CHESC)。CHESC的长期目标是通过有效的转化科学消除种族、民族和社会经济地位在儿童健康方面的不公正差异。CHESC的近期目标是建立俄克拉荷马州立大学-塔尔萨分校的研究环境，专注于发现儿童健康不平等的根源，并将科学成果转化为消除儿童健康不平等的解决方案。CHESC的近期目标将通过实现三个具体目标来实现，CHESC将：1)培养一支独立研究人员队伍，专注于发现儿童健康不平等的基础和解决方案；2)建立必要的基础和初始程序，使专注于消除儿童健康不平等的转译研究成为可能；以及3)建立必要的科学基础设施，以利用日益增长的可用生物标记物和分析技术领域，描述儿童健康不平等的起因和后果。CHESC将设在俄克拉何马州的塔尔萨：美国第46大城市，但缺乏一所综合性研究型大学或主要的学术医学中心，一个儿童健康差距显著的社区，而且该州的儿童健康结果一直位居美国最差的10个州之列。CHESC将包括一个行政核心和一个方法核心，由一名NIH资深调查员和导师领导，以及一个由另外四名资深调查员或训练有素的导师组成的执行委员会(EC)。欧委会将每年征求模范外部咨询委员会(EAC)的建议，并(至少)征求内部咨询委员会(IAC)的季度建议。一名专家外部评估员将向欧共体、东非共同体和东非共同体提供半年度和年度进展报告。CHESC将支持和培训三名有前途的新兴调查人员，并将他们过渡到独立地位。CHESC意义重大；它侧重于为儿童健康不平等问题找出解决办法，解决了实现国家优先事项的一个关键障碍。CHESC是创新的。全国各地都存在关注健康差距和不平等的研究中心；然而，这些研究中心都没有专门关注儿童健康不平等问题。
