The overall aims of the UIC Center of Excellence in Eliminating Disparities (CEED) are to: Aim 1: Become a university-wide crucial resource for minority health and health disparities research; Aim 2: Enhance training of faculty and students engaged in minority health and health disparities research; Aim 3: Develop and conduct leading-edge research on health disparities; Aim 4: Disseminate effective strategies for improving minority health and health disparities in community settings; and Aim 5: Develop, maintain and sustain key university-community partnerships. We will accomplish these aims through four cores, two research projects, and one dissemination project. The function of the Administrative Core is to oversee activities to successfully achieve the CEED's aims and support the Research, Training, and Community Core aims. The Research Core will coordinate ongoing research and develop new minority health and health disparities research within the CEED and encourage participation from faculty across disciplines. The Research Training and Education Core will expand and coalesce the diverse training activities at UIC to provide conceptual and methodological information of specific relevance to the conduct of health disparities research to qualified students, faculty, and community partners. The Community Engagement and Outreach Core will facilitate university-community partnerships, with the ultimate goal of improved minority health and reduced health disparities in Chicago. The aims of the 2 research projects are: Study 1: To develop a model of disparities in mortality from prostate and colorectal cancer in the Chicago metropolitan area to conduct a population-based analysis of potential clinical, social, and healthcare-related mechanisms for the mortality disparities; Study 2: To identify the barriers contributing to the racial/socioeconomic disparities in colorectal cancer treatment care continuum. The Community Core includes a specific dissemination project aimed at reducing breast cancer mortality. With very strong institutional commitment, stellar leadership, integrating the full complement of our 6 health sciences programs, we aim for a comprehensive strategy incorporating research, education, policy changes, and community partnerships to reduce health disparities in Chicago and Illinois.

UIC 消除不平等卓越中心 (CEED) 的总体目标是： 目标 1：成为全校范围内少数民族健康和健康差异研究的重要资源；目标 2：加强对从事少数民族健康和健康差异研究的教师和学生的培训；目标 3：开发并开展有关健康差异的前沿研究；目标 4：传播改善少数民族健康和社区环境健康差异的有效策略；目标 5：发展、维持和维持重要的大学与社区伙伴关系。我们将通过四个核心、两个研究项目和一个传播项目来实现这些目标。行政核心的职能是监督活动，以成功实现 CEED 的目标并支持研究、培训和社区核心目标。研究核心将协调正在进行的研究，并在 CEED 内开展新的少数族裔健康和健康差异研究，并鼓励跨学科教师的参与。研究培训和教育核心将扩展和合并伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的各种培训活动，为合格的学生、教师和社区合作伙伴提供与开展健康差异研究具体相关的概念和方法信息。社区参与和外展核心将促进大学与社区的伙伴关系，最终目标是改善芝加哥少数族裔的健康并减少健康差距。这两个研究项目的目标是： 研究 1：开发芝加哥都市区前列腺癌和结直肠癌死亡率差异模型，对潜在的临床、社会和医疗保健相关机制进行基于人群的分析死亡率差异；研究 2：确定导致结直肠癌治疗连续体中种族/社会经济差异的障碍。社区核心包括一个旨在降低乳腺癌死亡率的具体传播项目。凭借非常坚定的机构承诺、杰出的领导力，整合我们 6 个健康科学项目的全部内容，我们的目标是制定一项综合战略，将研究、教育、政策变化和社区伙伴关系结合起来，以减少芝加哥和伊利诺伊州的健康差距。
