项目摘要 CORE C：协作、传播和教育（CDE） 佛蒙特州行为与健康中心（VCBH）是一个跨学科的研究中心， 个人行为与慢性病和过早死亡风险之间的关系。总体 VCBH协作、传播和教育（CDE）核心的目标是培养和协调 VCBH与佛蒙特州卫生保健政策和交付领导人之间的关系，以及与 位于其他IDEA州及其他地区的合作大学合作伙伴。我们建议Stephen T. 希金斯博士和理查德罗森博士继续担任联合主任，黛安E。Gaalema，PhD，as Associate 导演在当地，我们与佛蒙特州的医疗保健政策制定者建立了多项合作，包括 佛蒙特大学（UVM）医学中心，佛蒙特州卫生部，以及公共和私人健康 我们建议继续和进一步发展的保险公司。在全国范围内，我们与 在其他IDEA州的大学（布朗大学，肯塔基州大学）的同事，并计划扩大 他们包括位于其他州的大学（达特茅斯学院，缅因州大学， 内布拉斯加州），非IDEA州（约翰霍普金斯大学，布法罗的纽约州立大学，韦恩州， Laureate Institute）和国际（格拉斯哥大学、奥维耶多大学、Makerere大学）。这些 合作已经促进了大量新的研究和资助机会，我们有信心 他们将继续这样做。为了促进这一研究领域的进展，我们 建立了一个行为和健康的UVM系列讲座，向合作者和其他人直播， 也记录并存储在VCBH网站上，这是一个关于行为改变，健康， 和健康差距，以及一系列基于同行评审杂志《预防医学》的特刊， 会议记录。VCBH科学家定期参加其他国家和国际 会议和发表在同行评审的期刊上，这种做法在过去四年中已经产生了118个 同行评审的出版物。总的来说，我们相信，继续和进一步发展这些 实践将坚定地建立VCBH作为一个充满活力的，跨学科的生物医学研究卓越中心 具有地方，国家和国际影响力，同时也提供重要的职业发展机会 为VCBH早期职业教师和博士前和博士后研究员。

PROJECT SUMMARY CORE C: Collaboration, Dissemination, and Education (CDE) Core The Vermont Center on Behavior and Health (VCBH) is an interdisciplinary research center that investigates relationships between personal behavior and risk for chronic disease and premature death. The overarching aim of the VCBH Collaboration, Dissemination, and Education (CDE) Core is to nurture and coordinate relationships between the VCBH and leaders in Vermont health care policy and delivery as well as with collaborating university partners located in other IDeA states and beyond. We propose that Stephen T. Higgins, PhD, and Richard Rawson, PhD, continue as Co-directors, and Diann E. Gaalema, PhD, as Associate Director. Locally, we have established multiple collaborations with Vermont healthcare policy makers including the University of Vermont (UVM) Medical Center, Vermont Department of Health, and public and private health insurers that we propose to continue and develop further. Nationally, we have established collaborations with colleagues at universities in other IDeA states (Brown University, University of Kentucky), and plan to expand them to include universities located in other IDeA states (Dartmouth College, University of Maine, University of Nebraska), non-IDeA states (Johns Hopkins University, State University of New York at Buffalo, Wayne State, Laureate Institute), and internationally (University of Glasgow, Oviedo University, Makerere University). These collaborations have already fostered substantive new research and funding opportunities and we are confident that they will continue to do so. To facilitate dissemination of advances in this research area we have established a UVM lecture series in behavior and health that is live streamed to collaborators and others, and also recorded and stored on the VCBH website, an annual national conference on behavior change, health, and health disparities, and a series of Special Issues of the peer-reviewed journal Preventive Medicine based on conference proceedings. VCBH scientists regularly participate in other national and international conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals, a practice that in the past four years has resulted in 118 peer-reviewed publications. Overall, we are confident that continuation and further development of these practices will firmly establish the VCBH as a vibrant, interdisciplinary center of biomedical research excellence with local, national, and international impact, while also providing important career development opportunities for VCBH early-career faculty and predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows.
