## Abstract

The Yale University School of Medicine Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center (YALE-TCC) for
Health Disparities Research aims to address health disparities observed in chronic disease by
using a collaborative research approach to enhance the healthcare provider’s ability to predict
risk of and/or detect disease in high need, underserved, and under resourced populations- such
as the U.S. territories and the Caribbean. The TCC emphasizes research interventions focused
on diabetes and hypertension that incorporate both biologic and social determinants, that are
developed/refined in the intended community, and that may translate to structural changes in
healthcare and individual practice. The Implementation Core (IC) is charged with ensuring that
these interventions are effectively implemented, sustained, and scaled. To do so, the IC
engages stakeholders with in-depth knowledge of the local context and whose experience and
influence could facilitate community engagement, healthcare provider adoption, and advocacy
for practice and policy change. Key activities within the IC align with five specific aims: (1) to
translate an evidence-based intervention in a heath disparate population and to enhance
stakeholder capacity to implement interventions developed from the YALE-TCC (2) to launch
practice and policy interventions informed by research findings from YALE-TCC projects (3) to
facilitate the adoption of precision medicine approaches through the spread of information and
scale-up of interventions informed by YALE-TCC research projects (4) to facilitate the adoption of
precision medicine approaches by using novel methods to address ethical considerations and
(5) to support a demonstration project program with active participation from CC members.
