Community Engagement and Outreach Core

在过去四年中，社区参与和外联(CEO)核心进行、促进、 以及新英格兰北部先进的社区参与和基于实践的研究。我们建立了 社区参与委员会，建立了持久的社区伙伴关系，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器计划，听取和学习我们的社区 上菜了。在这些成功的基础上，我们寻求通过创新的方法进一步加强我们的努力 社区参与和外展。改善公共健康有赖于研究结果的成功翻译 从基础科学到临床研究，再到临床实践。这个平移光谱 需要与积极参与的社区建立牢固的联系。正如我们在过去一年中看到的那样，有 在与新冠肺炎的斗争中取得了巨大的科学成功，但并不是所有的社区都接受或 理解或信任他们背后的科学。从一开始就让社区参与进来，并进行研究 这对他们来说是有意义的，对于翻译研究的成功以及建立对 对科学的理解。因此，首席执行官核心的长期目标是为 社区确定他们的研究优先事项；建立一个强有力的结构和参与过程 在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 我们社区的差异；以及，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， 新英格兰北部基于实践的研究网络，前身为达特茅斯/新英格兰北部 合作公寓。我们对这一核心的具体目标将集中在满足社区健康需求的战略上 在缅因州、新罕布夏州和佛蒙特州。因此，我们将让调查人员参与研究，以解决健康问题 新英格兰北部的差异和不平等，与国家2030年健康人口目标和 社区优先事项。我们还将增加新英格兰北部社区的参与能力，以确定 并优先考虑社区卫生挑战和参与研究。最后，我们将扩大目前的 学术中心、农村卫生保健实践、联邦合格卫生中心、 社区组织和新英格兰北部实践为基础的研究网络增加 基于社区的研究项目。通过实现这些目标，致力于多样性和 纳入并利用NNE-CTR核心的专业知识，我们将实施社区制度 参与，确定社区卫生需求的优先顺序，并将社会决定因素和卫生公平纳入我们的 研究优先事项。总之，我们将创造一个环境，让学术中心、医疗保健组织、 以社区为基础的组织和社区成员可以协作地进行必要的研究 以改善新英格兰北部的健康状况。

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.
