Paul D. Juarez, PhD Former Founding Center Director NIMHD/Health Disparities Research Center of Excellence at Meharry Professor, Department of Preventive Medicine Director, The Research Center for Health Disparities, Equity, and the Exposome College of Medicine UT Health Science Center Memphis, Tennessee

This research training institute is named in honor of Dr. M.

Alfred Haynes, past President/Dean of Charles R. Drew Post Gradu-

ate Medical School in Los Angeles, CA. Throughout his career, Dr.

Haynes has led national efforts to bring attention to health disparities

and for the need to increase the numbers of underrepresented minori-

ty professionals in the health sciences and health professions. He

has been ahead of his time in acknowledging the importance of com-

munity medicine, providing culturally competent care, and engaging community in health

services research. Dr. Haynes has been a pioneer, a visionary, and on a very personal level,

a mentor and inspiration to me and countless others for over thirty years. While he is unable

to be with us here today to kick off the third, annual Institute in his honor, he is with us in

spirit.

This is an exciting institute, established under the leadership of Dr. Patricia Matthews

Juarez, past Director of the Research Training Core, to promote trans-disciplinary research

and training in a new research paradigm, that we call the public health exposome, among

early and mid-level investigators who share our passion and recognition for the need to ad-

dress health equity as a cornerstone of a national strategy for eliminating health disparities.

On behalf of the National Health Disparities Research Center of Excellence at Meharry Med-

ical College, The Research Center for Health Disparities, Equity and the Exposome, and

with the support of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities

(NIMHD), I welcome you to the 2013 M. Alfred Haynes Research Training Institute for

Social Equity.

We thank you for accepting this challenge and engaging with us in our quest to elim-

inate health disparities through the promotion of health and social equity.

Patricia Matthews-Juarez, PhD Former Director, Research Training Core NIMHD/Health Disparities Research Center of Excellence at Meharry Professor, Department of Preventive Medicine Director, The Research Center for Health Disparities, Equity, and the Exposome College of Medicine UT Health Science Center Memphis, Tennessee

We are delighted that you have chosen to join us for the 2013 Dr. M. Alfred

Haynes Research Training Institute for Social Equity, hosted by the NIM-

HD/Health Disparities Research Center of Excellence at Meharry and the

Research Center for Health Disparities, Equity, and the Exposome at the

UTHSC. The goals of this Institute are to: 1) prepare health services re-

searchers to address health disparities from a systems perspective, and 2)

diversify the national health care research workforce. The Institute is struc-

tured to train and mentor junior faculty members working in the area of health disparities and to pre-

pare them to engage communities in all phases of the research enterprise. We seek to create a cadre of

junior faculty member who are prepared to address the complexity of health disparities and will serve

as the academic faculty pipeline for health disparities investigators trained in the public health expo-

some paradigm. As emerging health disparities scientists, it is our expectation that you will add to the

number of minority and faculty members, who are well prepared to examine, explore, and influence

the national health disparities research agenda .

This Institute brings us together to share information, interest, knowledge, and skills as social,

behavioral, clinical and basic scientists whose tasks are to learn to work together as we explore and

examine questions of the relationships between the natural, built, social, and policy environments

shape, advance, and challenge our understanding of the nature and interplay between personal health,

public health, environmental health, the human genome and health disparities. As scholars in this In-

stitute, we are hopeful that when you leave, you will be more confident in collaborating with investi-

gators from other disciplines and convinced of the importance of engaging communities in your work.

During the two weeks that you are with us, you will work to expand your knowledge and understand-

ing of health disparities, equity and the exposome and have access to senior scientists who are willing

to assist you in achieving your own goals and objectives. With that in mind, we have put together a

course of study what we believe will make this both an enjoyable and informative experience for eve-

ryone.

Thank you for choosing to participate in the third annual M. Alfred Haynes Research Train-

ing Institute for Social Equity.

Goal: The overall goal of the Institute is to expand your knowledge and understanding of health disparities, equity and the exposome while improving and enhancing your research skills and comfort in working collaboratively.

Course Information: The Institute is designed to expose and enhance the knowledge and skills of scholars about the application of the public health exposome paradigm to health disparities research, encourage the use and anal-ysis of large secondary data sets, and provide an introduction to the use of multi-level, spatial, computational, and community-engaged research methods and techniques. The Institute pairs scholars with research mentors and com-munity partners to provide different insights into how and why different communities experience health disparities. Additionally, the scholars will receive an overview of health disparity research methods, models, applications and analytics. This overview will focus on research theory, methodology, and applications and include an introduction to public participatory GIS and multi-level, spatial, and computational analysis. Sessions will include a review of national and state secondary data sets and comparative effectiveness studies used for improving health outcomes for communities. The Institute will provide scholars with opportunities to work directly with their mentors and community partners on topics such as, 1) Research Design; 2) Analyses of Large Databases; 3) Survey Methodolo-gy, 4) Assessment of Health Status; 5) Measurement of Racial, Ethnic, and Socioeconomic Disparities; and 6) strategies for engaging the community in research and dissemination of results.

The Institute will

Expand the scholars knowledge and understanding of health disparities research models and analytics;

Improve and enhance the scholars skills in engaging the community in health services research;

Provide opportunities for scholars, community partners, and research mentors to collaborate on health ser-

vices research that seeks to eliminate health disparities;

Develop and nurture trans-disciplinary teams;

Provide networking opportunities for scholars and

Introduce scholars to innovative approaches and analytics needed to address the intersect between personal health, the human genome, and environmental health.

Target Audience: Underrepresented minority and other junior faculty from an array of disciplines who are inter-ested in developing a research career in health services, health disparity, and translational research, including medi-cine, dentistry, public health, nursing, health policy, social work, psychology, sociology, health care management and health care administration
