OVERALL PROJECT ABSTRACT The Howard University Research Centers in Minority Institutions (HU RCMI) program has a continuing interest in developing a better understanding of the unique parameters associated with minority health and resolving mechanisms of health disparities. This focus on minority health and health disparities is a critical component of Howard’s institutional research mission and is an abiding commitment that the institution has to the communities it serves. This renewal application recognizes the critical role of research in the implementation of Howard’s commitment to further serve its surrounding communities and will enhance Howard’s capacity for basic biomedical and clinical research by improving the quality of scientific inquiry, through partnerships with community-based organizations, and by expanding the cadre of productive investigators on Howard’s campus. In order to accomplish these institutional research goals, the HU RCMI will implement an investigator development initiative which has the capacity to fast-track junior faculty and early stage investigators to the level of successful and produce scientists. We will also provide a selection of state-of-the-art infrastructure resources that Howard investigators can access to support their research efforts. These initiatives and resources will be combined with the development of long-term relationships with surrounding community-based organizations that will serve as conduits to insure that the needs and interests of the community are represented in the university’s research agenda. These community connections will also serve as a potential source of participants in Howard’s human subjects research and as conduit for disseminating to the community results obtained from HU research efforts. Moreover, the HU RCMI will support three rigorous research projects addressing health disparities experienced by African Americans. These projects will focus on hepatitis C and diabetes (basic biomedical), prostate cancer (basic biomedical), and sleep disturbance and cardiometabolic consequences in sickle cell disease (clinical). It should be noted the both of the biomedical projects also have a clinical component. In order to insure that HU RCMI efforts are kept on target and focused to meet institutional objectives, the entire HU RCMI program and each of its components will be subjected to annual evaluation by an outside and independent evaluator. Together, the proposed HU RCMI program activities will enable Howard to reach a critical level of minority health and health disparities research.

总体项目摘要 霍华德大学少数民族机构研究中心 (HU RCMI) 项目一直受到关注 更好地了解与少数群体健康相关的独特参数并解决 对少数群体健康和健康差异的关注是健康差异机制的一个重要组成部分。 霍华德的机构研究使命是该机构对 该更新应用程序认识到研究在实施中的关键作用。 霍华德致力于进一步服务其周边社区，并将增强霍华德的能力 通过与以下机构的合作，提高科学探究的质量，开展基础生物医学和临床研究 以社区为基础的组织，并扩大霍华德校园内富有成效的调查人员队伍。 为了实现这些机构研究目标，HU RCMI 将设立一名调查员 发展计划，有能力将初级教师和早期研究人员快速培养到 我们还将提供一系列最先进的基础设施。 霍华德研究人员可以获得支持他们的研究工作的资源。 资源将与周边社区发展长期关系相结合 充当渠道的组织，以确保社区的需求和利益得到满足 这些社区联系也将成为大学的研究议程的一个潜力。 霍华德人类受试者研究的参与者来源以及向社区传播的渠道 此外，HU RCMI 将支持三项严格的研究。 解决非洲裔美国人经历的健康差异的项目这些项目将重点关注肝炎。 C 和糖尿病（基础生物医学）、前列腺癌（基础生物医学）、睡眠障碍和 镰状细胞病的心脏代谢后果（临床）应该注意这两个方面的生物医学。 项目还包含临床部分，以确保 HU RCMI 的努力保持目标和目标。 以实现机构目标为重点，整个 HU RCMI 计划及其每个组成部分将 拟议的 HU RCMI 须接受外部独立评估员的年度评估。 计划活动将使霍华德达到少数族裔健康和健康差异研究的关键水平。
