This procurement is for a print plus online supplement to the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) on the topic of the 2012 Elimination of Health Disparities Summit. This special issue proposes to highlight advances in the science that emerged during the 2012 Summit. A full separate volume of AJPH, published in addition to the 12 regular issues will have the following: a. 96 to 160 pages b. 20 - 30 papers, includes briefs, commentaries, editorials, Editor's Choice, research papers. c.

This Special Issue will highlight new promising directions for advancing research on the health of disparity populations. At the 2012 Summit on the Science of Eliminating Health Disparities, it was evident that the rapid progress of research on health disparities had opened new possibilities for identifying effective policies with practical solutions for addressing health disparities. The Summit agenda was organized around the core principle of integrating science, policy, and practice with the overall theme of building a healthier global society. It provided a forum for government, academia, and the public to advance scholarship and translate new knowledge into action. The plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, poster sessions, and integrated panel discussions, on a wide array of topics and themes provided those successes, challenges, innovations, and opportunities for partnerships. This special issue proposes to highlight advances in the science that emerged during the 2012 Summit. We hope to feature a collection of papers that will contribute to a more thorough and integrated examination of the biological and non-biological determinants of health. We hope to invite articles that review the usefulness and limitations of current conceptual frameworks and analytic strategies commonly used for addressing health disparities and highlight new ones that have emerged in the last few years. In addition, the special issue will encourage research papers that empirically examined and tracked health disparities in various contexts (life course, place/geography), using innovative strategies, and began to tackle these issues on a national and global scale. NIMHD supports developing a print plus online supplement of up to 160 pages to share progress on recent advances in health disparities research, practice and policy. This includes ongoing and proposed efforts for building a healthier global society.
