DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The proposed theme is to develop research to improve access to quality prevention and healthcare programs for racial and ethnic minorities with a goal of eliminating health disparities. The planned focus is on chronic disease disparities, based on the major sources of disparities, with initial emphasis on CVD, cancer, and associated risk factors of obesity, diabetes, tobacco use, physical inactivity, and risky sexual behavior. Initial proposed research projects include 1 Full and 6 Pilot Projects. We propose to align the Center with major sources of identified health disparities through an evidence-based process. Finally, we propose to develop 3 cores to support the Center: an Administrative Core to oversee day-to-day activities and establish policy for the proposed Center and interface with National and Local Advisory Committees; a Research Core to develop recommendations for Center directions based on an evidence-based approach to priority and heuristic theoretical model evolution; and an Education/Training Core to promote minority student recruitment into careers in health disparities research through a combined BA/MPH degree program in concert with Arkansas' three HBCUs. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health (COPH) was established in July 2001, after a public referendum led to the creation of a new College based on a carefully, strategically planned Vision, Mission, and Values, emphasizing the health and well-being of Arkansans and eliminating health disparities. The COPH, the lead in this application, is thus based on the very scientific focus of this application - the elimination of health disparities. Our commitment to the elimination of health disparities is evidenced by a number of structures and initiatives as described in our application. Nowhere is this organizational commitment more evident than with the Pi/Director for the proposed Center, Dr. Jim Raczynski, who is Founding Dean and former Founding Director for 9 years of the DAB Center for Health Promotion, one of CDC's Prevention Research Centers, focusing on primary prevention among African Americans in rural Alabama. As Dean, he acts as the chief executive/academic officer of the College, enabling him to ensure the adequacy of financial, space, and administrative support resources to ensure the success of the proposed Exploratory NCMHD in Arkansas, a commitment that is confirmed by by Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, the CEO of UAMS.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的主题是开发研究，以改善针对种族和少数民族的质量预防和医疗计划，以消除健康差异。计划的重点是基于主要差异来源的慢性疾病差异，最初重点是肥胖，糖尿病，烟草使用，身体上的不活动和风险性行为的相关危险因素。最初提出的研究项目包括1个完整和6个试点项目。我们建议通过基于证据的过程将中心与确定的健康差异的主要来源保持一致。最后，我们建议开发3个核心来支持该中心：一个行政核心，以监督日常活动并为拟议​​中心制定政策，并与国家和地方咨询委员会互动；基于基于证据的优先级和启发式理论模型进化的基于证据的方法，为中心方向提出建议的研究核心；以及通过与阿肯色州的三个HBCUS协同合并的BA/MPH学位计划，以促进少数族裔学生招募健康差异研究的职业研究。阿肯色大学医学科学大学（UAMS）Fay W. Boozman公共卫生学院（COPH）成立于2001年7月，此前公开全民投票导致建立了基于精心计划的愿景，使命和价值观的新学院，强调了阿肯色州人的健康和健康，并消除了健康的健康状况。因此，COPH是本应用程序中的领导，是基于该应用程序的科学重点 - 消除健康差异。我们的应用程序中所述的许多结构和计划证明了我们对消除健康差异的承诺。在拟议中心的PI/董事Jim Raczynski博士中，这一组织承诺更为明显。吉姆·拉克森斯基（Jim Raczynski）博士是创立Dean的院长，也是前9年DAB健康促进中心的前创始董事，CDC的预防研究中心之一，这是农村阿拉巴马州非裔美国人的主要预防。作为院长，他担任该学院的首席执行官/学术官，使他能够确保财务，空间和行政支持资源的适当性，以确保阿肯色州提议的探索性NCMHD成功，这一承诺得到了UAMS首席执行官I. Dodd Wilson的确认。
