About the BRITE Center
The BRITE Center’s mission is to support the innovative use of research, science and policy development to help eliminate disparities in physical and mental health for communities that are traditionally underserved by academic research. The acronym BRITE comes from the center’s tagline: to Bridge Research, Education, Innovation, Training and Education on minority health disparities.
As part of an academic-community partnership, researchers and academic institutions can play a powerful role by bringing better science into the study of how issues such as discrimination, chronic stress, and social exclusion harm individual health. By drawing from diverse fields such as clinical psychology, law, public policy, medicine, neuroscience, psychobiology, and sociology, and from the experiences of community residents and organizations, the center applies a unique framework designed to study both the external influences that contribute to disparities, and the science behind internal, physical effects on brain function and the body. This two-part strategy allows the center to address the social, environmental and behavioral factors that influence health and well-being in order to help shape programs and policies that have an opportunity to change our health care system.
Since its founding, the center has worked to:
improve the health of racial, ethnic and sexual minorities;
advance health disparities science and research; and
increase the capacity of racial/ethnic and immigrant communities to conduct research.
Through its fellows and research staff, the center has also increased the number of minority students trained in addressing health disparities and committed to conducting research with this focus.
In addition, by investing in the creation of data cohorts, the BRITE Center provides an ongoing opportunity for other researchers in the field to work with understudied racial/ethnic groups such as Asians, Pacific Islanders, Native Hawaiians, Latinos, Americans Indians, African Americans, and gay, lesbian and bisexual populations.

Norman Powell is a bright spot for a youthful, ragged UCLA team

There is a brand new floor at Pauley Pavilion, but perhaps the water damage from a July flood left some rust. In its first exhibition game, against a Division II opponent, the UCLA men's basketball team looked like a work in progress.

The one bright spot, though, was the play of Norman Powell, who will be counted on as the go-to scorer for the Bruins this year. The 6-foot-4 senior guard was aggressive, dynamic and, on offense at least, the best player on the floor. In 26 minutes, Powell scored 21 points and was 10 for 10 from the free-throw line in the Bruins' 80-53 victory over Azusa Pacific.
“That tells me in 25, 26 minutes you can get there 10 times, how aggressive you’re being,” UCLA Coach Steve Alford said. “Very, very aggressive.”
That is the Powell UCLA will need. He is not only the most experienced returning player, but he also has the most play-making ability. Powell's fastbreaks provided a spark for a team that hasn’t achieved its preferred tempo.
