Coordinating Center of Excellence in Social Promotion of Health Equity Research

在国家卫生研究院、国家少数民族健康和健康中心的持续支持下 为了消除差距，我们建议在我们合作努力的优势的基础上，为 了解和减少南卡罗来纳州和美国东南部地区的健康差距 各国通过在社会促进健康公平研究方面建立一个卓越协调中心， 教育和社区参与(CCE-SPORE)，将为开展基础科学提供基础 以及使用社会科学框架的基于社区的参与性研究。此应用程序扩展了 在我们的癌症和艾滋病毒研究卓越中心(项目出口)下开始的工作提供了 利用HBCU合作伙伴(Clafline)的优势创建重点研究合作伙伴关系的机会 大学)和南卡罗来纳大学消除健康差距伙伴关系研究所 (USC-IPEHD。 目前的应用程序采用了南加州大学IPEHD生物、社会和行为科学方面的常驻专家 和CU以及广泛的社区网络，以开展基于社区的基本参与式和转换式 研究的重点是艾滋病毒和人乳头状瘤病毒传播的疾病，这些疾病可以用健康取代健康差距 目标社区中的权益。本项目中提议的活动将：(1)促进和增进健康 南卡罗来纳大学和我们的合作伙伴的差异和少数族裔健康研究；(2)增加 在弱势群体和弱势群体中开展社区参与性研究的少数群体研究人员数量 服务不足的社区；(3)招聘、培训和指导学生、教职员工和未来的研究领导者 来自希望在少数群体健康或健康差距方面开展工作的代表人数不足的人群；(4) 加强我们在健康差距和少数群体健康方面的社区伙伴关系，以改善健康状况 南卡罗来纳州和美国东南部地区的少数民族人口；和(5)整合该大学的 将少数群体健康和健康差距方案、机构和资源整合到无缝基础设施中 促进社区、学术学科和机构单位之间的沟通和协作。

With continued support from the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities, we propose to build upon the strengths of our collaborative efforts to meaningfully contribute to the understanding and reduction of health disparities in South Carolina and in the southeastern region of the United States, by creating a Coordinating Center of Excellence in the Social Promotion of Health Equity Research, Education and Community Engagement (CCE-SPHERE) that will provide the basis for conducting basic science and community-based participatory research using a social science framework. This application expands the work started under our Center of Excellence in Cancer and HIV Research (Project EXPORT) that provided an opportunity to create a focused research partnership utilizing the strengths of an HBCU partner (Claflin University) and the University of South Carolina's Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities (USC-IPEHD. The current application takes the resident expertise in biological, social and behavioral science at USC-IPEHD and CU and an expansive community network to conduct basic, community-based participatory and translational research focused on HIV and HPV-mediated diseases, which could serve to replace health disparity with health equity in a targeted community. The activities proposed in this project will: (1) promote and increase health disparities and minority health research at the University of South Carolina and our partners; (2) increase the number of minority researchers conducting community-based participatory research in vulnerable and underserved communities; (3) recruit, train and mentor students, faculty and future research leaders who are from underrepresented populations wishing to conduct work in minority health or health disparities; (4) enhance our community partnerships in health disparities and minority health to improve the health status of minority populations in South Carolina and the southeastern region of the US; and (5) integrate the University's minority health and health disparities programs, institutions, and resources into a seamless infrastructure that fosters communication and collaboration across communities, academic disciplines, and institutional units.
