Center of Excellence in Eliminating Disparities

UIC消除差异英才中心(CEED)的总体目标是：目标1：成为 全大学范围内少数群体健康和健康差距研究的重要资源；目标2：加强培训 从事少数群体健康和健康差距研究的教职员工和学生；目标3：发展和 开展关于健康差距的前沿研究；目标4：传播有效的改善战略 少数群体健康和社区环境中的健康差距；和目标5：制定、维持和维持关键的 大学与社区的伙伴关系。我们将通过四个核心、两个研究项目来实现这些目标， 和一个传播项目。行政核心的职能是监督活动以取得成功 实现CEED的目标并支持研究、培训和社区核心目标。研究报告 CORE将协调正在进行的研究，并开发新的少数群体健康和健康差距研究 CEED并鼓励跨学科教职员工的参与。研究、培训和教育 CORE将扩展和整合UIC的各种培训活动，以提供概念和 与开展健康差距研究特别相关的方法学信息 学生、教职员工和社区合作伙伴。社区参与和外展核心将促进 大学-社区伙伴关系，最终目标是改善少数群体健康和减少健康 芝加哥的贫富差距。这两个研究项目的目标是：研究1：建立不同性别之间的差距模型 在芝加哥大都会地区进行了一项基于人群的前列腺癌和结直肠癌死亡率调查 死亡率差异的潜在临床、社会和医疗保健相关机制分析；研究2： 确定导致结直肠癌治疗护理中种族/社会经济差异的障碍 连续体。社区核心包括一个旨在减少乳腺癌的具体传播项目 死亡率。凭借非常强大的机构承诺，卓越的领导力，整合了我们的 6个健康科学项目，我们的目标是制定一项综合战略，包括研究、教育、政策 改变，以及社区伙伴关系，以减少芝加哥和伊利诺伊州的健康差距。

The overall aims of the UIC Center of Excellence in Eliminating Disparities (CEED) are to: Aim 1: Become a university-wide crucial resource for minority health and health disparities research; Aim 2: Enhance training of faculty and students engaged in minority health and health disparities research; Aim 3: Develop and conduct leading-edge research on health disparities; Aim 4: Disseminate effective strategies for improving minority health and health disparities in community settings; and Aim 5: Develop, maintain and sustain key university-community partnerships. We will accomplish these aims through four cores, two research projects, and one dissemination project. The function of the Administrative Core is to oversee activities to successfully achieve the CEED's aims and support the Research, Training, and Community Core aims. The Research Core will coordinate ongoing research and develop new minority health and health disparities research within the CEED and encourage participation from faculty across disciplines. The Research Training and Education Core will expand and coalesce the diverse training activities at UIC to provide conceptual and methodological information of specific relevance to the conduct of health disparities research to qualified students, faculty, and community partners. The Community Engagement and Outreach Core will facilitate university-community partnerships, with the ultimate goal of improved minority health and reduced health disparities in Chicago. The aims of the 2 research projects are: Study 1: To develop a model of disparities in mortality from prostate and colorectal cancer in the Chicago metropolitan area to conduct a population-based analysis of potential clinical, social, and healthcare-related mechanisms for the mortality disparities; Study 2: To identify the barriers contributing to the racial/socioeconomic disparities in colorectal cancer treatment care continuum. The Community Core includes a specific dissemination project aimed at reducing breast cancer mortality. With very strong institutional commitment, stellar leadership, integrating the full complement of our 6 health sciences programs, we aim fora comprehensive strategy incorporating research, education, policy changes, and community partnerships to reduce health disparities in Chicago and Illinois.
