ADMINISTRATIVE CORE PROJECT SUMMARY The Administrative Core of the Mid-Atlantic Center for Cardiometabolic Health Equity (MACCHE) will be responsible for the overall administration of the grant, including guiding and coordinating shared data and intervention resources, Community Engagement Core and Investigator Development Core activities and supporting the three research studies. The overarching goal of MACCHE is to test the effectiveness of comprehensive, integrated, and multi-level evidence-based strategies for improving cardiometabolic health outcomes among socially disadvantaged populations, using community-based participatory research and patient-centered outcomes research principles, and translate them into clinical and public health practice. The Administrative Core, constituted of experts in Clinical Medicine, Nursing, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Behavioral Science, Health Services Research, Implementation Science, and Community-Based Participatory Research, will be responsible for executing that overarching goal and assuring that the “whole [Center] is more than the sum of its parts”. The MACCHE Administrative Core will build upon the strong existing administrative structure in the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, which has used a comprehensive approach to health equity that includes research and translation, education and training, community engagement, and local to global learning since 2010.
