Persistent and pronounced differences in health by race/ethnicity exist for multiple health outcomes. Despite repeated documentation of these disparities, there is still substantial debate on the driving forces behind them. There is a growing sense that current approaches to understanding these disparities which often attempt to fragment the problem into distinct social and biological components are insufficient, not only from the point of view of scientific understanding but also from the point of view on identifying the most effective strategies to eliminate disparities in the real world. Understanding health disparities will require integration of social and biological factors as well as consideration not only of individual characteristics but also characteristics of the multiple contexts in which individuals live and work. The overarching goal of the Michigan Center for Integrative Approaches to Health Disparities (CIAHD) is to promote and support research that comprehensively integrates social and biological factors within a multilevel framework in understanding the determinants of minority health and health disparities. This overarching goal will be achieved through a set of interrelated Aims: (1) To advance scientific understanding of how the interrelation of social and biologic factors contributes to health in minority populations and health disparities with a specific focus on cardiovascular risk.(2) To continue to nurture a mutually beneficial partnership between the University of Michigan and the Jackson Heart Study in order to further advance research, training, and community engagement/outreach within our multilevel integrated framework. (3) To establish and formalize a comprehensive set of research education/ training and community engagement/outreach activities explicitly linked to and synergistic with the research components and the Jackson Heart Study collaboration. (4) To maintain a forum that wilt integrates ongoing minority health and health disparities research broadly at the University of Michigan and at our partner institutions in Jackson. This proposed continuation expands on the findings and lessons of our very successful prior funding period to encompass a set of integrated research, training and community activities in the context of the U of M -Jackson Heart Study partnership.

多种健康结局存在种族/族裔之间持续和显著的健康差异。尽管这些差异一再被记录在案，但对于其背后的驱动力仍存在大量辩论。人们越来越感到，目前理解这些差异的方法往往试图将问题分解为不同的社会和生物组成部分，这不仅从科学理解的角度来看，而且从确定消除真实的世界中差异的最有效战略的角度来看，都是不够的。要了解健康方面的差异，就需要综合考虑社会和生物因素，不仅要考虑个人的特点，还要考虑个人生活和工作的多种背景的特点。密歇根健康差异综合方法中心（CIAHD）的总体目标是促进和支持在多层次框架内全面整合社会和生物因素的研究，以了解少数群体健康和健康差异的决定因素。这一总体目标将通过一系列相互关联的目标来实现：（1）促进对社会和生物因素的相互关系如何有助于少数群体健康和健康差异的科学理解，特别关注心血管风险。(2)继续培养密歇根大学和杰克逊心脏研究之间的互利伙伴关系，以进一步推进我们的多层次综合框架内的研究，培训和社区参与/外展。(3)建立并正式制定一套全面的研究教育/培训和社区参与/外展活动，这些活动与研究组成部分和杰克逊心脏研究合作明确相关并具有协同作用。(4)保持一个论坛，将整合正在进行的少数民族健康和健康差距的研究广泛在密歇根大学和我们的合作机构在杰克逊。这一拟议的延续扩大了我们非常成功的前一个资助期的发现和经验教训，以包括一套综合研究，培训和社群活动在M -杰克逊心脏研究伙伴关系的U的背景下。
