Research Coordinating Center to Reduce Disparities in Multiple Chronic Diseases (RCC RD-MCD)

总结 沿着在预防、治疗和管理多种慢性病方面存在显著差异 交叉的种族、文化、社会经济和弱势群体背景线;社区 要有效地减少这些差距，就必须采取接触和了解文化的多层面办法。 UCSF研究协调中心将利用和枢轴我们的重要专业知识，经验， 社区参与研究的能力，差异研究，项目实施经验， 服务不足和弱势群体，数据科学和主要慢性疾病，以服务和支持 全国研究协调和技术援助中心。该项目的具体目标是： 1)发展NIMHD RD-MCD研究联盟及其监督机制：通过 组织和管理股的召集、安全通信、内部和外部资源 共享、标准化、进度、研究中心和研究监测以及通过508- 与项目官员、代表指导委员会合作， 网络社区咨询委员会和独立的数据和安全监测委员会（DSMB）。 2)实施RD-MCD联盟范围内的通用数据元素开发、收集、集成， 利用现有完善的国家数据协调和收集进行管理、分析和共享 中心资源和专业知识，形成一个研究协调和数据管理（RCDM）单位 为RD-MCD联盟数据提供安全和可访问的数据仓库中心，并提供技术援助- 支持和指导：实施多种数据标准和交叉研究工具，包括PhenX 工具包集合（例如健康的社会决定因素（SDOH））;以及最新的RD-MCD信息，工具， 和资源通过安全的面向商家和面向社区的网站资源页面。 3)建立多种慢性病差异（MCD）研究教育发展 网络：由技能发展股推动，将科学、网络和技能建设结合起来 P50 MCD研究联盟的专业知识，以实施和维护多样化的开发 为学术研究人员、少数民族服务机构、卫生工作者和其他社区提供机会 伙伴RCC将提供和协调：a）每月网络研讨会，B）年度技能发展 讲习班，c）接触MCD联盟和NIH国家研究指导的导师 网络，和d）跟踪RCC和中心的发展活动的影响。 4)促进和监测NIMHD RD-MCD P50研究中充满活力的社区研究 联盟成员和社区合作伙伴通过社区参与（CE）单位提供 获得针对服务不足/弱势群体的技术援助（TA）团队、结构性和 为实践社区和协作科学工作组提供组织支持。

SUMMARY Significant disparities in prevention, treatment, and management of multiple chronic diseases exist along intersecting racial, cultural, socio-economic, and vulnerable population contextual lines; community engagement and culturally informed multilevel approaches are required to effectively reduce these disparities. The UCSF Research Coordinating Center will leverage and pivot our significant expertise, experience, and capacity in community-engaged research, disparities research, program implementation experience with underserved and vulnerable populations, data science, and major chronic diseases to serve and support a nationwide research coordinating and technical assistance center. The Specific Aims of the project are to: 1) Develop the NIMHD RD-MCD Research Consortium and its Oversight Mechanisms: through the Organizational and Management Unit’s convening, secure communication, internal and external resource sharing, standardization, progress, site, and study monitoring, and dissemination functions via a 508- compliant consortium website in cooperation with program officials, representative Steering Committee, networked Community Advisory Boards, and an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). 2) Implement RD-MCD Consortium-wide Common Data Element Development, Collection, Integration, Curation, Analysis, and Sharing using existing well-developed national data coordinating and collection center resources and expertise forming a Research Coordination & Data Management (RCDM) Unit providing a secure and accessible data warehouse hub for RD-MCD Consortium data, and technical assist- ance and guidance on: implementing multiple data standards and cross-study instruments including PhenX toolkit collections (e.g. Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)); and up-to-date RD-MCD information, tools, and resources via secured investigator-facing and community-facing website resource pages. 3) Establish a Multiple Chronic Diseases Disparities (MCD) Research Educational Development Network: facilitated by the Skills Development Unit combining scientific, networking, and skills building expertise across the P50 MCD research consortium to implement and maintain diverse development opportunities for academic researchers, minority-serving institutions, health workers, and other community partners. The RCC will deliver and coordinate: a) monthly webinars, b) yearly skills development workshops, c) access to mentors across the MCD consortium and the NIH National Research Mentoring Network, and d) track the impact of the RCC and Center’s development activities. 4) Facilitate and Monitor Vibrant Community-Engaged Research among NIMHD RD-MCD P50 Research Consortium members and community partners through a Community Engagement (CE) Unit providing access to underserved/vulnerable population-specific Technical Assistance (TA) teams, structural and organizational support for a Community of Practice, and collaborative Scientific Working Groups.
