## Abstract

The Yale University School of Medicine Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center (YALE-TCC) for
Health Disparities Research Consortium Core builds upon the highly engaged and dynamic
network of the eastern Caribbean research collaborative dedicated to advancing chronic
disease research, policy, and practice. It’s primary objective is to facilitate meaningful
participation by stakeholders from six primary stakeholder groups: 1) community based
organizations (CBOs), including faith communities, 2) academic research teams, 3) patients and
patient advocacy groups, 4) healthcare delivery systems, 5) provider professional organizations,
and 6) governmental agencies, in chronic disease research prioritization, design, and analytic
interpretation. It uses a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to guide
stakeholder engagement and provides activities and opportunities such as task-specific Work
Groups (WG) and the pilot and demonstration project programs to aid collaboration between
members within the consortium core and across the YALE-TCC. The consortium core has five
specific aims: (1) to create interactive professional development opportunities that strengthen CC
member capacity for meaningful and impactful contributions across all stages of the precision
medicine research process (2) to engage a diverse community of regional stakeholders in
precision medicine science by partnering to effectively integrate and share different types of
health data with broad-based constituencies (3) to provide substantial input on the ethical design
and conduct of all YALE-TCC research and implementation activities (4) to develop, evaluate, and
sustain a strong network of invested consortium partners specific to advancing precision medicine
approaches and achieving health equity within the region and (5)to support a pilot project program
with active participation from CC members that enhance activities across the YALE-TCC.
