Community Engagement and Outreach Core

在过去的四年里，社区参与和外联（首席执行官）核心进行，促进， 以及北方新英格兰的先进社区参与和实践研究。我们建立 社区参与委员会，建立了持久的社区合作伙伴关系，加强了我们的实践基础 研究网络，并建立了一个独特的研究导航程序，听取和学习的社区，我们 服务。在这些成功的基础上，我们力求通过创新办法进一步加强我们的努力， 社区参与和外联。改善公共卫生取决于研究结果的成功转化 从基础科学到临床研究，再到临床实践。这个平移光谱 需要与参与社区建立强有力的联系。正如我们在过去一年中所看到的， 在抗击新冠肺炎方面取得了巨大的科学成就，但并非所有社区都接受了这些成就， 理解或信任他们背后的科学。从一开始就参与社区，并进行研究 这对他们来说是有意义的，对转化研究的成功和建立信任至关重要， 理解科学。因此，CEO核心的长期目标是为以下方面提供机会： 社区确定他们的研究优先事项;建立一个强大的结构和参与过程 社区和调查人员之间;让调查人员参与旨在减少健康的研究 在我们的社区的差距;和，以促进整个北方新英格兰的研究，通过扩大我们的 与临床和社区组织、州卫生部和我们的合作伙伴建立伙伴关系， 北方新英格兰实践研究网络，前身为达特茅斯/北方新英格兰 CO-OP：我们在这一核心领域的具体目标将侧重于解决社区健康需求的战略 缅因州、新罕布什尔州和佛蒙特州。因此，我们将让调查人员参与研究， 北方新英格兰的差异和不平等，与国家健康人2030目标一致， 社区优先事项。我们还将提高北方新英格兰社区的参与能力， 并优先考虑社区健康挑战和参与研究。最后，我们将扩展电流 学术中心、农村卫生保健实践、联邦合格卫生中心之间的伙伴关系， 社区组织和北方新英格兰实践研究网络，以增加 社区研究项目。通过实现这些目标，致力于多样性和 包容性和利用NNE-CTR核心的专业知识，我们将实施一个社区系统， 参与，优先考虑社区卫生需求，并将社会决定因素和健康公平纳入我们的 研究优先。总之，我们将创造一个学术中心，医疗机构， 基于社区的组织和社区成员可以合作进行必要的研究 来改善整个北方新英格兰的健康状况。

During the last four years, the Community Engagement and Outreach (CEO) Core has conducted, promoted, and advanced community-engaged and practice-based research in northern New England. We established community engagement councils, built enduring community partnerships, strengthened our practice based research network, and built a unique research navigator program to listen and learn from the communities we served. Building on those successes, we seek to further enhance our efforts through innovative approaches to community engagement and outreach. Improving public health depends on successful translation of findings from basic science to clinical research and subsequently to clinical practice. This translational spectrum requires strong connections to engaged communities. As we have seen over the last year, there have been tremendous scientific successes in the fight against Covid-19, but not all communities have embraced them or understood or trusted the science behind them. Engaging communities from the start, and conducting research that is meaningful to them, is critical to the success of translational research and to building trust in and understanding of science. Thus the long term goals of the CEO Core are to provide opportunities for communities to identify their priorities for research; to build a robust structure and process for engagement between communities and investigators; to engage investigators in research targeted at reducing health disparities in our communities; and, to promote research across northern New England by expanding our partnership with clinical and community-based organizations, State Departments of Health, and our partner, the Northern New England Practice Based Research Network, formerly the Dartmouth/Northern New England CO-OP. Our specific aims for this Core will focus on strategies to address the health needs of the communities in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. As such, we will engage investigators in research to address health disparities and inequities in northern New England, consistent with national Healthy People 2030 goals and community priorities. We will also increase northern New England community engagement capacity to identify and prioritize community health challenges and participation in research. Finally, we will expand current partnerships among academic centers, rural health care practices, Federally Qualified Health Centers, community organizations and the Northern New England Practice Based Research Network to increase community-based research projects. By accomplishing these aims, with a commitment to diversity and inclusion and leveraging the expertise of the NNE-CTR Cores, we will implement a system of community engagement, prioritize community health needs, and integrate social determinants and health equity into our research priorities. In sum, we will create an environment in which academic centers, healthcare organizations, community-based organizations, and community members can collaboratively pursue research that is essential to improving health outcomes across northern New England.
