Researchers from Dartmouth and Howard recently formalized a longstanding collaboration through the support of a grant aimed at understanding recovery and rehabilitation for African Americans with severe mental illness. Grant-sponsored efforts have included two seminars between multi-disciplinary mental health researchers and clinicians to inform the implementation of a collaborative research and training program. This article outlines the prominent themes arising from these seminars on the issue of health disparities agreed upon by our multi-disciplinary research team. These are (1) situating disparity research in the context of social justice; (2) understanding trends in disparities; (3) promoting a sophisticated understanding of ‘culture' and its role in disparities; (4) critically assessing strategies that attempt to mitigate disparities; (5) developing a reflexive research agenda.
