A Message from the Program Director
The conclusion of another calendar year
allows for time to stop and reflect on the
past year’s work and accomplishments.
Since the program started in 2006, our
community and academic initiatives,
collaborations and research have grown
tremendously. The University of
Minnesota Medical School’s Program in
Health Disparities Research (PHDR) has
continued building partnerships, training
health disparities researchers and
conducting outstanding research. We
are also proud of the ongoing strides
our community and academic members
make towards reducing and ultimately
eliminating health disparities.
PHDR is driven to improve health for
all through research, education and
community engagement. We remain
dedicated to innovative solutions,
investment in authentic partnerships
and making a meaningful impact.
This past year we continued meaningful
training and community engagement
initiatives, such as the Clipper Clinic and
Community Dialogue Series, as well as
implemented new initiatives like the
Community Research Institute. Feedback
from initiatives has been very positive,
and we look forward to continuing these
programs in 2013. We were also pleased to
host the Health Equity Conference in the
spring in partnership with the Center for
Health Equity and Minnesota Center for
Cancer Collaborations. This conference
brought together community members and
practitioners from across the state who are
also dedicated to improving the health of
all communities for a time to learn from
each other. These and other community
engagement and training initiatives are
highlighted later in this report.
PHDR members contin-
ue to be successful at
receiving competitive
grant funding to conduct
health disparities
research that make a
difference on people’s
lives. You can also find
more details about the
funding PHDR members
received in 2012 later in
this report. In addition,
I am pleased to see a
continuation of
innovative research applications in the
Planning Grants in Health Disparities
Research Program. We continue to look
for ways to improve this popular program
and have incorporated your feedback into
the 2013 planning grant program. We
remain very appreciative of our sponsors
for supporting this program, including the
Masonic Cancer Center, ClearWay
MinnesotaTM and the Office of
Community Economic Development at
the University of Minnesota.
All of these efforts contribute to our mis-
sion to improve the health of all people, in
Minnesota, the nation and beyond. Thank
you for taking a few minutes to read more
about the PHDR activities this past year.
If you are interested in joining us on any
of these initiatives, please visit our website
to check out events for 2013 and consider
submitting an application for membership.

to assist them with carrying out health research, applying these skills and knowledge to
a real-world project, and networking with other community-based and university-based
researchers.

  • 3. A Message from the Program Director The conclusion of another calendar year allows for time to stop and reflect on the past year’s work and accomplishments. Since the program started in 2006, our community and academic initiatives, collaborations and research have grown tremendously. The University of Minnesota Medical School’s Program in Health Disparities Research (PHDR) has continued building partnerships, training health disparities researchers and conducting outstanding research. We are also proud of the ongoing strides our community and academic members make towards reducing and ultimately eliminating health disparities. PHDR is driven to improve health for all through research, education and community engagement. We remain dedicated to innovative solutions, investment in authentic partnerships and making a meaningful impact. This past year we continued meaningful training and community engagement initiatives, such as the Clipper Clinic and Community Dialogue Series, as well as implemented new initiatives like the Community Research Institute. Feedback from initiatives has been very positive, and we look forward to continuing these programs in 2013. We were also pleased to host the Health Equity Conference in the spring in partnership with the Center for Health Equity and Minnesota Center for Cancer Collaborations. This conference brought together community members and practitioners from across the state who are also dedicated to improving the health of all communities for a time to learn from each other. These and other community engagement and training initiatives are highlighted later in this report. PHDR members contin- ue to be successful at receiving competitive grant funding to conduct health disparities research that make a difference on people’s lives. You can also find more details about the funding PHDR members received in 2012 later in this report. In addition, I am pleased to see a continuation of innovative research applications in the Planning Grants in Health Disparities Research Program. We continue to look for ways to improve this popular program and have incorporated your feedback into the 2013 planning grant program. We remain very appreciative of our sponsors for supporting this program, including the Masonic Cancer Center, ClearWay MinnesotaTM and the Office of Community Economic Development at the University of Minnesota. All of these efforts contribute to our mis- sion to improve the health of all people, in Minnesota, the nation and beyond. Thank you for taking a few minutes to read more about the PHDR activities this past year. If you are interested in joining us on any of these initiatives, please visit our website to check out events for 2013 and consider submitting an application for membership.
