Office of Research
The Office of Research coordinates SIRC’s portfolio of health disparities and health equity research and focuses on four scientific priorities:
- Examine how social, structural, and cultural mechanisms can reduce health disparities and promote health equity.
- Develop, test, adapt, and evaluate interventions aimed at health promotion and the prevention of behavioral, mental and physical health problems.
- Use a community-engaged research framework to work with marginalized groups of the Southwest to achieve health equity.
- Examine how scientific evidence and evidence-based interventions can be successfully disseminated, implemented, and sustained in community and clinical settings.
