Colorado Resource Center for Tribal Epidemiology Centers

项目总结 我们关于建立科罗拉多州部落流行病学中心资源中心的建议充分利用了 美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民健康中心30年来，在全国范围内提供高质量的 为数百个土著项目提供有科学依据、了解文化知识的培训和技术援助 通过资源中心解决与RFA-MD-21-003中强调的需求类似的需求。我们嫁给了这个 方案重点，在准备土著调查人员竞争NIH方面有着同样出色的记录- 赞助研究，从而提高部落开展的科学的性质、范围和质量 流行病学中心(TECs)。因此，我们的资源中心-TEC的具体目标是： 1)共同计划、发布、监控和评估对每个TEC提供不同程度支持的子奖励 具有当地的优先事项和需求，逐步扩展其能力，以参与全面的 研究活动从数据采集、管理和分析到数据可视化， 口译和报道。 2)为每个TEC提供技术支持，以设计、实施和分析两个主要数据采集 以及与当地优先事项一致的二级数据分析研究，并准备以及 向广泛的受众传播研究结果的层面、计划、政策和科学报告。 3)提高技术和经济合作委员会人员在各级准备工作中的研究能力 丰富的现有教学材料和经验可提供： A.每两个月举行一次互动、2小时的教学会议，讨论及时的数据科学专题； B.针对以下方面的基础和中级知识和技能的在线短期课程 数据收集、链接、管理和分析； C.每年一次，为TEC高级人员举办为期6个月的有指导的赠款撰写课程--为 各自主要利益攸关方的利益和优先事项--增加提交的和 资助NIH R系列拨款申请，以及 D.为早期研究人员提供为期一年的研究职业发展计划，以增加和留住他们 在健康差距方面，科学劳动大军。 4)通过传播信息促进技术执行委员会与外部调查人员之间的合作研究 关于赞助的研究机会和相关资源，并在我们现有卫星中心的基础上继续发展 由NIH资助的美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民健康差异资深科学家领导的研究网络 在7个相邻的主要机构，以及其他组织伙伴关系。 倡导者最近呼吁采取行动，强调了研究对解决健康问题的重要贡献 土著人民的优先事项。该资源中心将使TEC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.
