Research Core

研究核心将促进对社会经济、卫生系统和环境政策的理解，这些政策相互作用并影响一个人的健康，并在少数民族和其他弱势群体中产生不同的健康结果。它将产生高质量、创新的卫生政策研究，可对海湾地区少数民族、低收入和其他弱势群体的慢性病负担产生重大影响。这将与合作与伙伴关系核心和试点项目计划密切合作，并以我们完善的社区基础设施为基础。在遵循CBPR的原则下，研究者将被鼓励参与社区参与活动，并发展双向沟通以发起新的研究课题。研究核心的目标和目的的实现将导致以证据为基础的、社区发起的政策变革，从而显著减少种族/民族和社会经济差距。

The Research Core will advance the understanding of the socioeconomic, health systems, and environmental policies that interplay and impact a person's health and produce disparate health outcomes in minority and other vulnerable populations. It will produce high-quality, innovative health policy research that can significantly impact on the burden of chronic disease in minority, low income, and other vulnerable populations in the Gulf region. This will be accomplished in close collaboration with the Collaborations and Partnerships Core and the Pilot Project Program and building on our well-established community infrastructure. In following the principles of CBPR, investigators will be encouraged to participate in community engagement activities and develop bi-directional communications to initiate new research topics. The attainment of the Research Core's goals and objectives will result in evidence-based, community-initiated policy change that can significantly reduce racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities.
