社区参与核心项目摘要 社区参与研究背后的价值观和原则使其成为一项重要的 开展健康差异研究的战略，特别是在心脏代谢疾病领域。通过 在研究过程的每个阶段，以所有合作伙伴的公平参与为中心， 社区参与的研究有望支持文化相关性、翻译和 传播有希望的干预措施，扰乱社会模式结构之间的关系 因素，以及随之而来的健康不平等的出现。然而，仅仅咨询是不够的。 或者让研究企业的利益相关者参与进来。为了充分认识到社区参与研究的力量， 利益相关者合作伙伴必须被定位和承认为领导者、共同创建者和共同开发人员。这 需要有意识地努力在研究过程的每个阶段扩大利益相关者的影响力 通过共享领导权和所有权。 拟议中的大西洋中部心脏代谢健康中心的社区参与核心(CEC) 由Lisa A.Cooper博士、Debra Hickman牧师和Chidinma A.Ibe博士共同领导的Equity(MACCHE)， 将作为MACCHE培养、组织和促进双向学习和 财团合作伙伴与一批强大的多部门利益攸关方之间的沟通。要完成 为了实现这一目标，我们将采用以社区为基础的参与性研究的最佳做法，以确保 被边缘化社区的观点被嵌入到MACCHE的研究和 培训计划。具体地说，我们将1)构建和实施共享治理结构， 利益相关者作为中心及其研究的领导者；2)推动、促进和评估MACCHE的 社区参与的研究工作，以及3)共同设计战略，以翻译、传播和维持 MACCHE倡议。总而言之，这些努力将培育一个合作的环境，扩大 我们合作伙伴的实际经验和专业知识，以促进翻译、传播、采用和 我们的干预措施和关键研究成果的可持续性。这对我们的成功有一定的影响 研究和促进大西洋中部地区的卫生公平。

Community Engagement Core Project Summary The values and principles underlying community-engaged research have led to its prominence as an essential strategy for conducting health disparities research, particularly in the realm of cardiometabolic conditions. By centering the equitable engagement of all collaborating partners during each stage of the research process, community-engaged research holds promise for supporting the cultural relevance, translation, and dissemination of promising interventions that disrupt the relationships between socially patterned structural factors, and the consequent emergence of health inequities. However, it is not enough to merely consult with or involve stakeholders in the research enterprise. To fully realize the power of community-engaged research, stakeholder partners must be positioned and acknowledged as leaders, co-creators, and co-developers. This requires intentional efforts to amplify stakeholders' influence throughout every phase of the research process through shared leadership and ownership. The Community Engagement Core (CEC) of the proposed Mid-Atlantic Center for Cardiometabolic Health Equity (MACCHE), jointly led by Dr. Lisa A. Cooper, Reverend Debra Hickman, and Dr. Chidinma A. Ibe, will serve as the MACCHE's focal point for cultivating, organizing, and promoting bi-directional learning and communication between consortium partners and a robust cadre of multisectoral stakeholders. To accomplish this goal, we will employ best-practices in community-based participatory research to ensure that the voices and perspectives of marginalized communities are embedded into the fabric of MACCHE's research and training initiatives. Specifically, we will 1) construct and implement a shared governance structure that places stakeholders as leaders within the Center and its studies; 2) advance, facilitate, and evaluate MACCHE's community-engaged research efforts, and 3) co-design strategies to translate, disseminate, and sustain MACCHE initiatives. Taken together, these efforts will cultivate an environment of collaboration that amplifies the lived experiences and expertise of our partners to facilitate the translation, dissemination, adoption, and sustainability of our interventions and key research findings. This has implications for the success of our research and for advancing health equity in the Mid-Atlantic region.
