Support investigative and collaborative research focused on developing and evaluating simulation modeling and systems science (SMSS) to understand and address minority health and health disparities. Use SMSS to:
•Foster trans-disciplinary partnerships and collaborations in understanding the etiology and causal pathways of health disparities
•Identify modifiable barriers and cost-effective factors to reduce and eventually eliminate health disparities
•Improve patient safety and reduce medical errors for populations affected by health disparities
