the MHP |
The Center is a collaboration between Morgan State University and Johns Hopkins University, with Dorothy Browne, DrPH and Thomas Laveist, PhD, serving as directors, respectively. CHDS brings together the health-research and program development resources of the two Baltimore-based universities to demonstrate the efficacy of public health, social science and medical science in affecting disparities. The Center does this through inter-institutional efforts in research, training and community outreach. The center has a national focus, but much of its work is in the local Baltimore community.
Since 2003, the Center has conducted an in-person Institute in conjunction with the Annual Summer Public Health Research Videoconference on Minority Health. The Center co-presents the Videoconference with the Minority Health Project (UNC at Chapel Hill School of Public Health), which Dr. Browne helped to create in 1994.
