DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the Center for Vulnerable Populations Research (CVPR) is to enhance strengths of communities to eliminate health disparities faced by vulnerable populations (VPs), with a particular focus on ethnic/racial minorities and people living in poverty. The CVPR has facilitated sharing and expanding resources to improve the competence of investigators studying health problems of VPs, to support ongoing evolution of the knowledge base and methods of VP research, and to develop collaborative relations with community partners. Goals of the CVPR in the next five years are to: 1) continue expanding the scientific knowledge base of health-related problems of VPs to a) reduce/eliminate health disparities; b) facilitate health promotion; and c) improve outcomes of nursing practice; 2) translate the knowledge, skills, and experience acquired in participatory research (PR) methods and community partnerships by university and community investigators into practice/action to improve the health status of VPs and to develop science in this area; 3) expand capacity to measure, analyze and link biologic and behavioral markers in VPs research; and 4) disseminate research findings to inform community partners, and to influence nursing, health policy development, ethical decision- making processes, and future research. The infrastructure of the CVPR supports achievement of these goals through a variety of research and educational activities conducted by 4 cores - Administrative, Bio Laboratory, Participatory Research and Community Partnerships (PRCPC) and Research Support. Over the past four years the interdisciplinary team of CVPR investigators and affiliates have established several community partnerships and university collaborations and developed a unique scientific interface between behavioral and biologic researchers studying VPs. By involving research participants in the development and implementation of studies and directly disseminating the results of VP research to communities, clinicians and policy makers, the Center Investigators are effectively addressing important health and nursing issues. The community-based partnerships provide a solid foundation for further development of the CVPR as an epicenter for research and training in community-based PR to reduce health disparities. Current and planned CVPR research addresses elimination of health disparities in areas related to infectious diseases (e.g., HIV/AIDS, hepatitis A/B/C, tuberculosis), chronic illness (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma) substance use, and environmental quality. Continuance of the CVPR will enable investigators to sustain and expand efforts to confront health disparities in Los Angeles and the nation, to address national health goals established by several governmental agencies, and to build community capacity.

描述（由申请人提供）：弱势群体研究中心（CVPR）的使命是增强社区的力量，消除弱势群体（VP）面临的健康差距，特别关注少数民族/种族和贫困人口。CVPR促进了资源的共享和扩展，以提高研究VP健康问题的研究人员的能力，支持VP研究的知识基础和方法的不断发展，并与社区合作伙伴建立合作关系。未来五年的CVPR目标是：1）继续扩大与VP健康相关问题的科学知识基础，以a）减少/消除健康差距; B）促进健康促进;以及c）改善护理实践的结果; 2）翻译知识，技能，以及大学和社区调查人员在参与性研究（PR）方法和社区伙伴关系方面获得的经验，行动，以改善健康状况的VP和发展科学在这一领域; 3）扩大能力，以衡量，分析和链接生物和行为标志物的VP研究;和4）传播研究成果，告知社区合作伙伴，并影响护理，卫生政策的发展，伦理决策过程，和未来的研究。CVPR的基础设施通过由4个核心-行政，生物实验室，实验性研究和社区伙伴关系（PRCPC）和研究支持进行的各种研究和教育活动来支持实现这些目标。在过去的四年中，CVPR研究人员和附属机构的跨学科团队已经建立了几个社区合作伙伴关系和大学合作，并在研究VP的行为和生物研究人员之间建立了独特的科学界面。通过让研究参与者参与研究的开发和实施，并直接向社区，临床医生和政策制定者传播VP研究的结果，中心研究人员正在有效地解决重要的健康和护理问题。以社区为基础的伙伴关系提供了一个坚实的基础，进一步发展的CVPR作为中心的研究和培训，以社区为基础的PR，以减少健康差距。目前和计划中的CVPR研究致力于消除与传染病相关领域的健康差距（例如，艾滋病毒/艾滋病、甲型/B/C型肝炎、肺结核）、慢性病（心血管疾病、糖尿病、哮喘）、药物使用和环境质量。CVPR的继续将使研究人员能够维持和扩大努力，以应对洛杉矶和全国的健康差距，以解决由几个政府机构建立的国家健康目标，并建立社区能力。
