Build and Broaden: The Long-Term Impact of COVID-19 in Hispanic Communities in the Tri-State Area

这个项目是一个讨论和促进对新冠肺炎大流行对纽约、新泽西和康涅狄格州拉丁裔社区长期影响的科学理解的论坛。除了新冠肺炎对拉美裔社区的健康影响不成比例外，这一大流行还在美国各地引发了经济衰退和教育匮乏，也过度影响了三州地区的拉美裔社区。在会议上，来自不同学科的社会和行为科学家，包括来自地区拉美裔服务机构的学者，分享了他们关于大流行导致的社区背景、医疗保健获得和教育结果的社区背景变化的相互关联的动态的新研究。通过这次会议获得的知识将有助于决策者和社区领袖深入了解这一流行病对拉美裔社区的影响。这次会议扩大了拉丁裔和拉丁裔学者的参与，他们与拉丁裔社区一起教授和研究，增进对大流行对健康、经济和教育影响的知识和理解。这次会议的组织是为了使地区拉美裔服务机构的社交网络制度化。会议的主题领域包括(1)健康差距、(2)社区结构和(3)教育进程。前三个小组讨论都突出了其中一个核心主题，而第二天的小组讨论则侧重于在各主题领域建立基础联系。会议有三个传播级别：与学术界分享的特别期刊问题，社区组织和政策制定者的参与，以及面向更广泛公众的研究人员快照和会议记录的广播和数字存储库。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project is a conference that serves as a forum to discuss and advance scientific understanding of the long-term impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Latino communities in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. In addition to the disproportionate health impacts of COVID-19 on Latino communities, the pandemic has triggered an economic recession and educational privation across the United States that have also excessively affected Latino communities in the Tri-State area. In the conference, social and behavioral scientists from a wide range of disciplines, featuring scholars from regional Hispanic Serving Institutions, share their emerging research on the interconnected dynamics of the transformation in community contexts, access to healthcare, and educational outcomes in Hispanic communities due to the pandemic. The knowledge developed from this conference will help decision makers and community leaders develop an in-depth understanding of the impact of the pandemic on Latino communities. This conference broadens participation by Latina and Latino scholars and scholars that teach and do research with Latino communities in the advancement of knowledge and understanding on health, economic, and educational impacts of the pandemic. The conference is organized to institutionalize social networks across regional Hispanic Serving Institutions. The thematic areas of the conference include (1) health disparities, (2) community structures, and (3) educational processes. Each of the first three panels highlights one of these central themes, while the second-day panel focuses on building foundational connections across the thematic areas. The conference features three levels of dissemination: a special journal issue to be shared with the academic community, the participation of community-based organizations and policymakers in the conference; and a broadcast and digital repository of researcher snapshots and conference proceedings for the broader public.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
