项目摘要/摘要 夏威夷大学马诺阿分校(UHM)是美国主要的公立高等教育机构 太平洋盆地，提供卫生专业和与卫生有关的科学的博士学位。嗯，嗯 有历史记录，目前致力于教育代表性不足的学生。我们建议进一步 加强被称为Ola Hawaii的RCMI专业中心，使其成为科学研究的综合“家园” 关于夏威夷少数民族健康和健康差距的问题。通过与其他联邦资助的研究和 教育计划，并通过服务于夏威夷多种族和医疗服务不足的社区的需求， 加强生物、社会经济和环境科学研究的机构能力建设。 健康差距的环境决定因素。行政核心(AC)的目标是 加强机构能力，促进基础生物医学、临床和行为研究。 具体目标1：管理、协调和监督夏威夷办事处的活动和资源分配。 A.加强组织和治理结构，以实现有效运作。 B.监督促进健康差距调查员职业发展的方案活动， 并强调研究效率。 C.通过机构内和机构间伙伴关系促进研究。 具体目标2：制定和制定一项传播研究成果的计划，包括卫生 通过健康的夏威夷制定政策。 A.为健康差距研究人员提供传播研究成果的机会和机制。 B.制定将研究成果转化为卫生政策的计划。 具体目标3：为持续改进实施严格的评估过程。 A.建立和使用创新措施来评估研究进展和生产率。 B.与RCMI CC合作，协调RCMI范围内的公共指标。 AC将建立在一个包括强大的有远见的领导；一个有成就的外部团队的模式上 资助的核心董事和支持设施领导人；经验丰富的科学顾问；以及敬业的社区 合伙人。咨询委员会将吸取过去和现在的成功经验，并引入创新 发展早期健康差距的方法研究人员，特别是夏威夷原住民和 其他太平洋岛民(诺皮人)和菲律宾人后裔，并促进新的合作和伙伴关系 跨学科团队--科学研究。预期的主要成果将包括扩大和多样化的 解决少数群体健康和健康差距、提高效率和使用的项目和人员组合 核心设施和服务，以及提高研究生产率和资助成功。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) is the principal U.S. public institution of higher education within the Pacific basin which offers doctorate degrees in the health professions and in the health-related sciences. UHM has a historical record and current commitment to educating underrepresented students. We propose to further enhance the RCMI Specialized Center, called Ola HAWAII, as the integrated “home” for research on the science of minority health and health disparities in Hawaii. By partnering with other federally funded research and education programs and by serving the needs of multi-ethnic and medically underserved communities in Hawaii, we will strengthen institutional capacity building for research on the biological, socioeconomic, and environmental determinants of health disparities. The objective of the Administrative Core (AC) is to enhance institutional capacity to facilitate basic biomedical, clinical and behavioral research. Specific Aim 1: Manage, coordinate and supervise Ola HAWAII activities and resource allocation. a. Enhance organizational and governance structure for effective operations. b. Oversee programmatic activities that enhance the career development of health disparities investigators, with an emphasis on research productivity. c. Promote research through intra- and inter-institutional partnerships. Specific Aim 2: Develop and institute a plan for the dissemination of research findings, including health policy development through UHealthy Hawaii. a. Foster opportunities and mechanisms for health disparities researchers to disseminate research findings. b. Institute a plan for the translation of research findings into health policy. Specific Aim 3: Implement a rigorous evaluation process for continuous improvement. a. Establish and use innovative measures to evaluate research progress and productivity. b. Collaborate with the RCMI CC to harmonize RCMI-wide common metrics. The AC will build on a model that comprises strong visionary leadership; an accomplished team of extramurally funded core directors and support facility leaders; experienced scientific advisors; and dedicated community partners. The AC will capitalize on the successes of the past and present, as well as introduce innovative approaches to develop early-stage health disparities researchers, particularly those of Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) and Filipino descent, and foster new collaborations and partnerships for transdisciplinary team-science research. Expected key outcomes will include an expanded and diversified portfolio of projects and personnel addressing minority health and health disparities, greater efficiency and use of core facilities and services, and increased research productivity and grant success.
