DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to establish the "University of Maryland Center for Health Disparities Research, Training, and Outreach, a partnership between two University System of Maryland institutions, the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM and designated institution) and the University of Eastern Shore (UMES collaborating and Minority serving institution). The theme for the Center is "Reducing and Eliminating Health Disparities through technology and translation of research advances from bench to clinic and clinic to community. The target areas for this proposed Center are Maryland's rural and urban underserved communities including: African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics and low-income whites. The Center is composed of seven component cores: an Administrative Core; a central Community Outreach, Information and Dissemination Core which will develop in partnership with key community leaders and organizations, culturally sensitive evidenced-based outreach strategies; Training Core; Shared Resource Core which supports data collection and analysis and mining as well as novel telemedicine and videoconferencing; three research cores which focus on key diseases/disorders affecting the target populations and yielding disparities in morbidity and mortality: Cancer Research Core; Renal/Eye Disease Core, and Mental Health Core. Each institution brings its individual strengths and a history of mutually beneficial partnerships to this initiative. Value added for this Center will allow coordination and integration of research and training activities, strategic planning, evaluation and implementation of the aims of this Center and thus will eliminate uncoordinated and fragmented disparities activities. The aims for the Center are: Aim One: To foster health disparities research on renal and eye disease, cancer and mental health between the two collaborating institutions. Aim Two: To promote and expand the ability of collaborating institutions to foster, coordinate and conduct evidenced-based, culturally appropriate community outreach and dissemination. Aim Three: To enhance and expand the ability of collaborating institutions to foster minority student and faculty training in health disparities research. Aim Four: To enhance and formalize the coordination of shared resources among Export cores to promote health disparities research, community outreach and training activities. Each institution brings excellence in multidisciplinary research and community outreach to this grant. And the Principal investigator, Center directors for UMSOM and UMES bring a career of research excellence, institutional leadership and community outreach commitment to this Partnership.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份建立“马里兰大学健康差异研究、培训和外展中心”的申请，该中心是马里兰大学系统的两个机构、马里兰大学医学院（UMSOM 和指定的机构）之间的合作伙伴关系。该中心的主题是“通过技术和研究进展从实验室到诊所、诊所到社区的转化，减少和消除健康差距。”该拟议中心的目标地区是马里兰州农村和城市服务不足的社区，包括：非裔美国人、美洲原住民、西班牙裔和低收入白人。该中心由七个组成核心组成：行政核心；中央社区外展、信息和传播核心，将与主要社区领袖和组织合作制定文化敏感、循证的外展战略；培训核心；共享资源核心，支持数据收集、分析和挖掘以及新颖的远程医疗和视频会议；三个研究核心，重点关注影响目标人群并产生发病率和死亡率差异的关键疾病/病症：癌症研究核心；肾脏/眼部疾病核心和心理健康核心。每个机构都将各自的优势和互利伙伴关系的历史融入到这一举措中。该中心的附加值将有助于协调和整合研究和培训活动、战略规划、评估和实施该中心的目标，从而消除不协调和分散的差异性活动。该中心的目标是： 目标一：促进两个合作机构之间关于肾脏和眼部疾病、癌症和心理健康的健康差异研究。目标二：促进和扩大合作机构促进、协调和开展基于证据的、文化上适当的社区外展和传播的能力。目标三：加强和扩大合作机构的能力，促进少数族裔学生和教师在健康差异研究方面的培训。目标四：加强和规范出口核心之间共享资源的协调，以促进健康差异研究、社区外展和培训活动。每个机构都为这笔赠款带来了多学科研究和社区外展方面的卓越表现。首席研究员、UMSOM 和 UMES 的中心主任为这一合作伙伴关系带来了卓越的研究、机构领导力和社区外展承诺。
