梅哈里医学院的RCMI健康差异研究项目（RHDR@MMC） 建议在多个研究尺度上解决健康差距：从微观到宏观 环境.在加强机构合作和支持下， 寻求扩大长期的RCMI支持，使高质量的基本，行为， 临床研究，以消除健康差距作为我们的长期目标。RHDR@MMC侧重于 对少数群体健康产生负面影响的疾病。该中心利用跨学科 从事高度创新研究的方法，重点是强调 打破从蛋白质到人口和社区等各个层面的差异 梅哈里发球。我们新成立的一站式最先进的Meharry RCMI研究能力 核心（MRRCC）将在与研究相关的领域提供专家创新技术支持 项目，以及设计，生物统计，数据科学/基因组学和CRISPR等服务- Cas9，生物和健康信息学，以及交叉培训支持，使整个研究人员受益 在Meharry此外，我们重振的研究者发展核心（IDC）将提高 早期国家调查员的发展。同样，重新设计的梅哈里社区 参与核心（MCEC）将进一步提高我们的能力， 了解和减少健康差距的影响。我们召集了一批 科学家，包括基础，行为，数据科学，牙科临床医生，人口为基础的， 社区参与的研究人员在Meharry参与这一奋进。我们的目标是： 1.支持三个突出的研究项目，重点是解决健康差距， 检查HIV-1整合酶抑制剂的神经精神作用，种族 影响非裔美国妇女的不良围产期结果的差异， 评估幸存者和提供者对创伤和暴力知情护理的看法 在黑人女性中。 2.强化核心技术，拓展生物信息学、生物统计学、数据科学、 核心组织培养服务支持三个研究项目，以及所有Meharry 研究人员，以增加在校外资金研究疾病的机构成功 这对少数民族和其他健康不平等人口产生了不利影响。 3.培养和丰富一个有利于发展新的和早期职业的环境 促进导师网络，加强专业发展， 活动，并提供试点项目资金。 4.改善和扩大与社区组织的关系， 梅哈里 RHDR@MMC）旨在通过对疾病的研究， 影响它所服务的社区，让这个社区参与到它的解决方案中， 技术和研究基础设施，以服务于机构科学界及其 学术和社区合作伙伴。这种合作的方法来寻找正确的答案， 解决健康公平性的差异需要包括梅哈里的调查人员在内的团队努力。

The RCMI Program in Health Disparities Research at Meharry Medical College (RHDR@MMC) proposes to address health disparities at multiples scales of research: from micro to macro environments. With strengthened institutional collaboration and support, this renewal application seeks to expand the long-term RCMI support of enabling high quality basic, behavioral, and clinical research to eliminate health disparities as our long-term goal. The RHDR@MMC focuses on diseases that negatively impact on minority health. The center uses interdisciplinary approaches to engage in highly innovative research focusing on strategies that emphasize disruption of disparity at all levels, from proteins to the human populations and the communities Meharry serves. Our newly established one-stop state-of-art Meharry RCMI Research Capacity Core (MRRCC) will provide expert innovative technical support in areas relevant to the research projects, as well as services such as design, biostatistics, data science/genomic and CRISPR- Cas9 , biologic and health informatics, and cross-training support to benefit the entire researchers at Meharry. Furthermore, our reinvigorated Investigator Development Core (IDC) will enhance development of Early-State-Investigators. Likewise, redesigned Meharry Community Engagement Core (MCEC) will further enhance our ability to significantly contribute towards understanding and reducing health disparities impact. We have assembled a cadre of resolute scientists including basic, behavioral, data science, dental clinicians, population-based, and community-engaged researchers at Meharry to participate in this endeavor. Our aims are to: 1. Support three outstanding research projects focusing on addressing heath disparities by examining the neuropsychiatric effects of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors, risk factors for racial disparities in adverse perinatal outcomes affecting African American Women and assessment of survivor and provider perception of trauma and violence informed care among Black Women. 2. Strengthen core technologies and expand bioinformatics, biostatistical, data science, and core tissue culture services supporting the three research projects, as well as all Meharry research faculty, to increase institutional success in extramural funding studying diseases that disproportionally affect minority and other health disparity populations. 3. Nurture and enrich an environment conducive to developing new and early career investigators by facilitating a mentorship network, enhancing professional developmental activities, and providing pilot project funds. 4. Improve and expand relationships with community-based organizations that partner with Meharry. The RHDR@MMC) is designed to address health disparities through research in diseases that affect the community it serves, engagement of this community in its solutions, and creating technologies and research infrastructure to serve the institutional scientific community and its academic and community partners. This collaborative approach to finding the right answers to address disparities in health equity involves team effort including Meharry’s investigators.
