DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brooklyn Health Disparities Center is a novel partnership formed in 2004 between a community-based organization (Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health), a government agency (Office of the Brooklyn Borough President) and an academic research institution (SUNY - Downstate Medical Center) that is committed to reducing health disparities in Brooklyn and increasing the level of engagement of academics, community members, and policy makers in the process. The long-term objectives of the Center are to foster community engaged research that contributes to the elimination of racial/ethnic health disparities in Brooklyn, New York and disseminate the ensuing clinically and community defined evidence-based health findings among academic, community, and policy stakeholders. The specific aims are: 1) to establish a dynamic research infrastructure that will foster community-engaged research collaborations among SUNY Downstate's five colleges, the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health, and its community partners in Brooklyn, NY; 2) conduct methodologically rigorous community-engaged research on high priority topics in Brooklyn, NY (i.e. HIV and cardiometabolic diseases); 3) continue to foster and strengthen local community partnerships to develop community-engaged research initiatives and disparity reducing policy initiatives; and 4) train high school, undergraduate, and graduate level underrepresented minorities (URM) to address health disparities in Brooklyn by employing community engaged approaches. In order to address the research aims, the BHDC will build on previous workshops s to educate community partners, the BHDC Youth summer internship program, and a training program for URM junior faculty. Specifically, the Center will: host seminars to facilitate partnerships between health disparities researchers at Downstate Medical Center and community members to initiate grants and research projects; implement and develop a community engaged HIV intervention study and an obstructive sleep apnea community-engaged screening project; a training/mentoring program will be created for URM undergraduate and master's level students, and an established health disparities curriculum will be expanded for URM high school students. Fostering equitable community-academic-government collaborations, developing community-engaged projects, and increasing the number of successful URM researchers is consistent with the Brooklyn Health Disparities Center's commitment of reducing health disparities and increasing diversity in the health professions. The proposed projects will significantly add to appropriate replicable models for reducing and eliminating health disparities.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brooklyn Health Disparities Center is a novel partnership formed in 2004 between a community-based organization (Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health), a government agency (Office of the Brooklyn Borough President) and an academic research institution (SUNY - Downstate Medical Center) that is committed to reducing health disparities in Brooklyn and increasing the level of engagement of academics, community members, and policy makers in过程。该中心的长期目标是促进社区参与研究，从而有助于消除纽约布鲁克林的种族/族裔健康差异，并在学术，社区和政策利益相关者之间传播随后的临床和社区定义的基于证据的健康发现。具体目的是：1）建立动态的研究基础设施，该基础设施将促进纽约州纽约州立大学五所大学，亚瑟·阿什城市健康研究所及其在纽约布鲁克林的社区合作伙伴之间的社区参与研究合作； 2）在纽约州布鲁克林的高优先级主题中进行方法论严格的社区参与研究（即HIV和心脏代谢疾病）； 3）继续促进和加强当地社区伙伴关系，以制定社区参与的研究计划和减少政策计划的差异； 4）培训高中，本科和研究生一级的人数不足的少数民族（URM）通过采用社区参与的方法来解决布鲁克林的健康差异。为了解决研究目标，BHDC将在先前的研讨会上进行教育社区合作伙伴，BHDC青年暑期实习计划和URM初级教师培训计划。具体而言，该中心将：举办研讨会，以促进下国医疗中心研究人员与社区成员之间的健康差异之间的伙伴关系，以启动赠款和研究项目；实施和开发社区参与的艾滋病毒干预研究和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停社区参与筛查项目；将为URM本科生和硕士学位的学生创建培训/指导计划，并将为URM高中学生扩展既定的健康差异课程。促进公平的社区学术政府合作，开发社区参与的项目以及增加成功的URM研究人员的数量与布鲁克林健康差异中心的承诺相一致，即减少健康专业的健康差异和增加多样性。拟议的项目将大大增加适当的可复制模型，以减少和消除健康差异。
