Colorado Resource Center for Tribal Epidemiology Centers

项目摘要 我们建议建立科罗拉多部落流行病学中心资源中心， 美国印第安人和阿拉斯加土著健康中心30多年的全国性经验，提供高质量的， 为数百个土著项目提供有科学依据、文化信息的培训和技术援助 通过资源中心解决类似于RFA-MD-21-003中强调的需求。我们把这个 计划重点与准备本地研究人员竞争NIH的同样上级记录- 赞助的研究，从而提高部落进行的科学的性质，范围和质量 流行病学中心（TEC）。因此，我们的资源中心TEC的具体目标是： 1)联合计划、发放、监测和评估对每个技术执行委员会的不同程度的分授支助， 这些优先事项和需要逐步扩大其参与全方位 从数据采集、管理和分析到数据可视化的研究活动， 解释和报告。 2)为每个技术执行委员会提供技术援助，以设计、实施和分析主要数据采集 以及符合当地优先事项的二级数据分析研究，并准备以及 向广泛的受众传播非专业、方案、政策和科学研究结果报告。 3)通过利用一项研究， 广泛的现有教学材料和经验提供： a.每两个月举行一次互动式的2小时教学会议，讨论及时的数据科学主题; B.在线短期课程，目标是基础和中介知识和技能， 数据收集、链接、管理和分析; C.每年一次，为技术执委会高级人员开设为期6个月的指导性赠款撰写课程， 的利益和优先事项，以增加提交的数量， 资助NIH R系列拨款申请，以及 D.为期一年的研究职业发展计划，为早期研究人员增加和留住他们 在健康差距科学劳动力。 4)通过传播信息促进TEC和外部研究者之间的合作研究 关于赞助的研究机会和相关资源，并建立在我们目前的卫星中心 由美国国立卫生研究院资助的美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民健康差异科学家领导的研究网络 在7个相邻的主要机构和其他组织伙伴关系。 倡导者最近呼吁采取行动，强调研究对解决健康问题的重要贡献。 原住民优先。这个资源中心将使技术合作伙伴能够实现这一愿景。

PROJECT SUMMARY Our proposal to establish the Colorado Resource Center for Tribal Epidemiology Centers capitalizes on the Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health’s 30+ year, nationwide experience providing high quality, scientifically grounded, culturally informed training and technical assistance to hundreds of Native programs through resource centers that addressed needs similar to those highlighted in RFA-MD-21-003. We marry this programmatic focus with an equally superior record of preparing Native investigators to compete for NIH- sponsored research and, thereby, enhance the nature, extent, and quality of the science undertaken by Tribal Epidemiology Centers (TECs). Accordingly, the specific aims of our Resource Center-TEC are to: 1) Jointly plan, issue, monitor, and evaluate subawards of varying degrees of support to each TEC consistent with local priorities and needs that progressively expand their capacity to engage in the full spectrum of research activities ranging from data acquisition, management, and analysis to data visualization, interpretation, and reporting. 2) Provide technical assistance to each TEC to design, implement, and analyze both primary data acquisition as well as secondary data analytic studies consistent with local priorities, and to prepare as well as disseminate lay, program, policy, and scientific reports of findings to a wide array of audiences. 3) Enhance the research capacity of TEC personnel across all levels of preparation by drawing upon an extensive body of existing instructional materials and experience to offer: a. bimonthly interactive, 2-hour didactic sessions on timely data science topics; b. on-line, short-course offerings that target foundational and intermediary knowledge and skills regarding data collection, linkage, management, and analysis; c. once annually, a 6-month, mentored grant-writing course for senior TEC personnel—tailored to the interests and priorities of their respective key stakeholders—to increase the number of submitted and funded NIH R-series grant applications, and d. a year-long research career development program for early-stage investigators to add to and retain them in the health disparities scientific workforce. 4) Promote collaborative research between the TECs and external investigators by disseminating information about sponsored research opportunities and related resources and building upon our current Satellite Center research network led by senior, NIH-funded American Indian and Alaska Native health disparities scientists at 7 adjacent major institutions, and other organizational partnerships. Recent calls to action by advocates underscore the important contribution of research to address the health priorities of Native peoples. This Resource Center will enable TECs to bring this vision to fruition.
