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 fora 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：加强培训 从事少数族裔健康和健康差异研究的教师和学生；目标 3：开发和 对健康差异进行前沿研究；目标 4：传播有效的改进策略 少数群体的健康状况和社区环境中的健康差异；目标 5：开发、维护和维持关键 大学与社区的伙伴关系。我们将通过四个核心、两个研究项目来实现这些目标， 和一项传播项目。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，并在内部开展新的少数族裔健康和健康差异研究 CEED 并鼓励跨学科教师的参与。研究培训和教育 Core 将扩展和合并 UIC 的各种培训活动，以提供概念和 与进行合格的健康差异研究具体相关的方法学信息 学生、教师和社区合作伙伴。社区参与和外展核心将促进 大学与社区的伙伴关系，最终目标是改善少数族裔的健康并降低健康水平 芝加哥的差距。这两个研究项目的目标是： 研究 1：开发一个关于差异的模型 芝加哥都市区的前列腺癌和结直肠癌死亡率进行了基于人口的调查 分析死亡率差异的潜在临床、社会和医疗保健相关机制；研究2： 确定导致结直肠癌治疗护理中种族/社会经济差异的障碍 连续体。社区核心包括旨在减少乳腺癌的具体传播项目 死亡。凭借非常强有力的机构承诺、杰出的领导力，整合了我们的全部资源 6个健康科学项目，我们的目标是制定一个集研究、教育、政策于一体的综合战略 变化和社区伙伴关系，以减少芝加哥和伊利诺伊州的健康差距。
