PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: The goal of this proposal is to establish a Center for Urban Health Disparities Research and Innovation at Morgan State University (MSU) (RCMI@Morgan) to combat urban health and health disparity issues in Baltimore and similar urban settings. The RCMI@Morgan will: 1) strengthen MSU's research infrastructure for knowledge acquisition and translational research in biomedical sciences; 2) provide a host of professional development programs to nurture a group of health disparities researchers and innovators; 3) strengthen collaborations with the two research-intensive institutions in Baltimore (Johns Hopkins University – JHU and the University of Maryland, Baltimore - UMB); and 4) engage in collaborations with community-based organizations and government agencies. The proposed areas of health disparities/urban health research include infectious diseases, cardiovascular health, cancers and diabetes, drug addiction research, health informatics, and food security. The three proposed RCMI research projects are: 1) The relationship between socioeconomic status and poverty and mRNA expression in immune cells; 2): Assessing the effectiveness of virtual versus in-person motivation for smoking cessation among youths and adults; 3) HIV/HCV-related health disparities in Baltimore: from community to lab bench. Through the RCMI pilot project program, we will fund and nurture a cadre of MSU researchers in the aforementioned urban health and health disparities research areas, including potential translational research projects for commercialization. A unique feature of RCMI@Morgan is to blend the basic science researchers with the behavioral/public health researchers. We will also recruit a senior basic biomedical science researcher who will help to develop partnerships among the researchers, and team up with senior faculty members from MSU, JHU and UMB. Further, we will collaborate with researchers from other RCMI institutions through the RCMI Translational Research Network's Data Coordinating Center (RTRN DCC), to mentor all the junior faculty members at MSU to develop them as independent researchers. Finally, the RCMI@Morgan will become a research hub on urban health disparities and an integral part of the City of Baltimore through community engagement and community- based participatory research.

项目总结/摘要： 该提案的目标是建立城市健康差异研究中心， 创新在摩根州立大学（MSU）（RCMI@摩根），以打击城市健康和 巴尔的摩和类似城市环境中的健康差距问题。RCMI@Morgan将：1） 加强密歇根州立大学的研究基础设施，知识获取和转化研究， 生物医学科学; 2）提供一系列专业发展计划，以培养一个小组 健康差距研究人员和创新者; 3）加强与两者的合作 研究密集型机构在巴尔的摩（约翰霍普金斯大学- JHU和大学 马里兰州，巴尔的摩- UMB）;以及4）与社区合作 组织和政府机构。拟议的保健差距领域/城市保健 研究包括传染病、心血管健康、癌症和糖尿病、毒瘾 研究、卫生信息学和粮食安全。拟议的三个RCMI研究项目是： 1)社会经济地位和贫困与免疫组织中mRNA表达的关系 2）：评估虚拟与面对面吸烟动机的有效性 青少年和成年人之间的戒烟; 3）巴尔的摩与艾滋病毒/HCV相关的健康差异：从 从社区到实验室通过RCMI试点项目计划，我们将资助和培育一个 密歇根州立大学研究人员在上述城市健康和健康差距研究的骨干 包括潜在的商业化转化研究项目。一个独特的功能 RCMI@Morgan的目标是将基础科学研究人员与行为/公共卫生 研究人员我们还将招聘一名高级基础生物医学科学研究员， 发展研究人员之间的伙伴关系，并与来自 MSU，JHU和UMB。此外，我们还将与其他RCMI的研究人员合作， 通过RCMI转化研究网络的数据协调中心 (RTRN DCC），指导密歇根州立大学的所有初级教师，使他们成为独立的教师 研究人员最后，RCMI@Morgan将成为城市健康差距的研究中心 和巴尔的摩市的一个组成部分，通过社区参与和社区- 参与式研究。
