DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A need has been demonstrated for collaborative interaction between Community-based individuals and academically based scholars and researchers. Such collaborations are core activities planned for the USA CMC EXPORT Center. The EXPORT Center will build new partnerships to facilitate transfer of advanced technology and research findings into effective and culturally competent community-based interventions designed to improve the health of minority and underserved populations in targeted communities. The focus will include active participation by members of the community, with support from the University of South Alabama (USA) College of Medicine, USA Medical Center, health care providers, and other partners. Within this collaborative framework, the USA CMC EXPORT Center will work to enhance their research capacity to address the health needs of minority communities. An academic support program for K-12 students will be implemented for minority students interested in studying biomedical sciences. Evaluative research will be piloted to measure the effectiveness of three interventions to address health needs of the underserved population group: 1) the tailored approach, where interventions are designed to match community-specific problems; 2) the balanced involvement of community representatives, service providers and academic partners in the prioritization of interventions, actual implementation of programs, and evaluation process; and 3) the integration of information technology as a tool to facilitate and/or enhance the management of diseases among African American low income populations. The projects and programs proposed by the USA CMC EXPORT Center will provide the foundation to bring new resources to bear for eliminating health disparities in Mobile and the Gulf Coast Region. They will enhance individual's participation in the delivery of their health care, involve the business sector in resolving health disparities, and create a community collaborative for enhancing minority health.

描述（由申请人提供）：已经证明了基于社区的个人与学术学者和研究人员之间的协作互动的需求。此类合作是计划在美国CMC出口中心计划的核心活动。出口中心将建立新的合作伙伴关系，以促进先进技术和研究结果转移到有效且具有文化胜任的基于社区的干预措施中，旨在改善目标社区中少数民族和服务不足的人口的健康。重点将包括社区成员的积极参与，并得到南阿拉巴马大学（美国）医学中心，医疗中心，卫生保健提供者和其他合作伙伴的支持。 在这个协作框架内，美国CMC出口中心将致力于提高其研究能力，以满足少数民族社区的健康需求。将针对有兴趣研究生物医学科学的少数族裔学生实施针对K-12学生的学术支持计划。评估研究将进行试验，以衡量三种干预措施以满足服务不足人群组的健康需求的有效性：1）量身定制的方法，其中设计干预措施以符合社区特定的问题； 2）社区代表，服务提供者和学术伙伴在干预措施，计划的实际实施和评估过程中平衡的参与； 3）将信息技术的整合作为促进和/或增强非裔美国人低收入人群中疾病管理的工具。 美国CMC出口中心提出的项目和计划将为消除移动和墨西哥湾沿岸地区的健康差异带来新资源的基础。他们将增强个人参与提供医疗保健的参与，涉及商业部门解决健康差异，并创建一个社区合作，以增强少数族裔的健康。
