Research Initiative for Elimination of Health Disparities

Agency/Sub-Agency

CDC\OD\OCSO\PHR

Description

The Federal Collaboration on Health Disparities Research (FCHDR) was developed to identify and support research priorities for cross-agency collaboration to hasten the elimination of health disparities.  Identifying priority health disparities research topics was one of FCHDR’s primary outcomes in 2006.  Through FCHDR, federal partners have formed Subject Matter Expert (SME) workgroups around four initial research topic areas for collaboration:  Obesity, Built Environment, Mental Health Care and Co-Morbidities.  One page summaries are provided below on the four priority areas and were adapted from work started at the December 5-6th Meeting on Accelerating Collaboration on Health Disparities Research and post-meeting work performed by SME Workgroups.  The descriptions represent areas of priority research intended to accelerate the elimination of health disparities through collaboration among participating agencies.
