The RCMI Program in Health Disparities Research at Meharry Medical College (RHDR@MMC) proposes to address health disparities at multiples scales of research: from micro to macro environments. With institutional collaboration and support, this application continues the long-term RCMI support of enabling high quality basic, behavioral, and clinical research to eliminate health disparities as our long-term goal. The RHDR@MMC is not discipline or disease focused, but emphasizes the disruption of disparity at all scales, from proteins to the human ecosystems of the populations we serve. Our re-envisioned Research Infrastructure Core will provide expert technical support in areas relevant to the research projects, as well as services such as design, biostatistics, bio and health informatics, and cross-training support to benefit ALL researchers at the institution. We have assembled a cadre of scientists including basic, behavioral, dental clinicians, population-based, and community-engaged researchers at Meharry to participate in this endeavor. Our aims are to: 1. Support four outstanding research projects addressing HIV-AIDS, prostate cancer, racial and ethnic differences in periodontal disease microbiomes, and adversity-driven chronic pain to advance fundamental understanding of these health disparities. 2. Strengthen core technologies and expand bioinformatics and biostatistical services supporting the four research projects, as well as all Meharry research faculty, to increase institutional success in extramural funding studying diseases that disproportionally affect minority and other health disparity populations. 3. Nurture an environment conducive to developing new and early career investigators by facilitating a mentorship network, enhancing professional developmental activities, and providing pilot project funds. 4. Improve and expand relationships with community-based organizations that partner with Meharry. 5. Recruit outstanding magnet scientists to energize current faculty and contribute to our research capacity in cancers of the underserved, infectious diseases including HIV-AIDS, disparity-causing differences in microbiomes of minorities, and societal adversity leading to debilitating chronic pain in African Americans.

Meharry医学院的RCMI健康差异研究项目(RHDR@MMC)建议 在多个研究尺度上解决健康差距：从微观环境到宏观环境。与机构合作 协作和支持，此应用程序延续了长期的RCMI支持，支持高质量的基本、 消除健康差距的行为、临床研究是我们的长期目标。RHDR@MMC不是 专注于学科或疾病，但强调打破所有尺度上的差异，从蛋白质到 我们所服务的人口的人类生态系统。我们重新设想的研究基础架构核心将提供 与研究项目相关领域的专家技术支持，以及设计、 生物统计学、生物和健康信息学以及交叉培训支持，使该机构的所有研究人员受益。 我们已经召集了一支科学家队伍，包括基础、行为、牙科临床医生、基于人群的和 Meharry的社区参与的研究人员参与了这一努力。我们的目标是： 1.支持四个针对艾滋病毒-艾滋病、前列腺癌、种族和民族的优秀研究项目 牙周病微生物群的差异和逆境驱动的慢性疼痛推进根本 了解这些健康差距。 2.加强核心技术，扩大支持四个领域的生物信息学和生物统计服务 研究项目，以及所有Meharry研究人员，以增加校外机构的成功 资助研究对少数民族和其他健康差距人群造成不成比例影响的疾病。 3.培养有利于发展新的和早期职业调查人员的环境，通过促进 建立导师网络，加强专业发展活动，并提供试点项目资金。 4.改善和扩大与Meharry合作的社区组织的关系。 5.招募优秀的磁学科学家，激励现有教员，为我们的研究能力做出贡献 未得到充分服务的癌症，包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病在内的传染病，造成差距的差异 少数族裔的微生物群，以及导致非洲裔美国人虚弱的慢性疼痛的社会逆境。
