Health disparities are inequities in the health of different groups of people that may lead to needless pain, suffering, and premature death. The Yale-Howard Partnership Center on Reducing Health Disparities by Self and Family Management is part of a federally-funded initiative to foster the development of partnerships among researchers, faculty, and students at minority-serving institutions and research-intensive institutions. The goal of the initiative is to maximize the resources available to each of the partnering institutions. The purpose of this article is to describe the models of research collaboration that have emerged from the Yale-Howard Partnership Center on Reducing Health Disparities by Self and Family Management.
