项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: The goal of this proposal is to establish a Center for Urban Health Disparities Research and Innovation at Morgan State University (MSU) (RCMI@Morgan) to combat urban health and health disparity issues in Baltimore and similar urban settings. The RCMI@Morgan will: 1) strengthen MSU's research infrastructure for knowledge acquisition and translational research in biomedical sciences; 2) provide a host of professional development programs to nurture a group of health disparities researchers and innovators; 3) strengthen collaborations with the two research-intensive institutions in Baltimore (Johns Hopkins University – JHU and the University of Maryland, Baltimore - UMB); and 4) engage in collaborations with community-based organizations and government agencies. The proposed areas of health disparities/urban health research include infectious diseases, cardiovascular health, cancers and diabetes, drug addiction research, health informatics, and food security. The three proposed RCMI research projects are: 1) The relationship between socioeconomic status and poverty and mRNA expression in immune cells; 2): Assessing the effectiveness of virtual versus in-person motivation for smoking cessation among youths and adults; 3) HIV/HCV-related health disparities in Baltimore: from community to lab bench. Through the RCMI pilot project program, we will fund and nurture a cadre of MSU researchers in the aforementioned urban health and health disparities research areas, including potential translational research projects for commercialization. A unique feature of RCMI@Morgan is to blend the basic science researchers with the behavioral/public health researchers. We will also recruit a senior basic biomedical science researcher who will help to develop partnerships among the researchers, and team up with senior faculty members from MSU, JHU and UMB. Further, we will collaborate with researchers from other RCMI institutions through the RCMI Translational Research Network's Data Coordinating Center (RTRN DCC), to mentor all the junior faculty members at MSU to develop them as independent researchers. Finally, the RCMI@Morgan will become a research hub on urban health disparities and an integral part of the City of Baltimore through community engagement and community- based participatory research.

项目概要/摘要：该提案的目标是建立一个城市健康差异研究中心摩根州立大学 (MSU) (RCMI@Morgan) 的创新致力于应对城市健康和巴尔的摩和类似城市环境中的健康差异问题 RCMI@Morgan 将： 1) 加强密歇根州立大学的知识获取和转化研究的研究基础设施 2）提供一系列专业发展计划来培养团队健康差异研究人员和创新者；3）加强与两者的合作巴尔的摩的研究密集型机构（约翰·霍普金斯大学 – JHU 和大学马里兰州巴尔的摩市 - UMB）；以及 4) 与社区开展合作组织和政府机构提出的健康差异/城市健康领域。研究范围包括传染病、心血管健康、癌症和糖尿病、药物成瘾 RCMI 提议的三个研究项目是： 1）社会经济地位与贫困的关系及免疫中mRNA表达细胞；2)：评估虚拟吸烟动机与面对面吸烟动机的有效性青少年和成人戒烟；3) 巴尔的摩与艾滋病毒/丙型肝炎相关的健康差异：通过 RCMI 试点项目计划，我们将资助和培育一个参与上述城市健康和健康差异研究的密歇根州立大学研究人员骨干领域，包括潜在的商业化转化研究项目。 RCMI@Morgan 的目标是将基础科学研究人员与行为/公共卫生领域相结合我们还将招募一名高级基础生物医学科学研究人员，帮助发展研究人员之间的伙伴关系，并与来自的高级教职人员合作此外，我们将与其他 RCMI 的研究人员合作。机构通过 RCMI 转化研究网络的数据协调中心 (RTRN DCC)，指导密歇根州立大学的所有初级教员将他们培养成独立的人最后，RCMI@摩根将成为城市健康差异的研究中心。通过社区参与和社区 - 成为巴尔的摩市不可分割的一部分基于参与性研究。
