ESRC AMR Research Champion

成功地动员社会科学家为抗击抗菌素耐药性(AMR)作出贡献将需要创新和积极主动的沟通。为了产生与人类和动物的临床、诊断和人口健康需求直接相关的研究，社会科学家需要提供易于理解的生物医学、微生物学和流行病学背景信息。同样重要的是，鼓励学术社会科学家，特别是那些没有应用健康研究背景的人，认识到AMR的工作如何能够产生在其各自领域内有价值的原创性和创新性研究。例如，传播预防做法可能是研究社交网络的有用工具，在国际上解决AMR的尝试将是政策分析的良好范例，多样性、边缘化和贫困问题是新兴AMR社会模式的关键组成部分。我们建议的办法将通过与ESRC密切协商制定的一系列活动来满足宣传和支助需求，包括：在相关社会科学学科的国内和国际会议上突出AMR相关研究的潜力和需求的公开论坛；汇编感兴趣的社会科学家的数据库，供ESRC未来使用；在社会科学家中进行AMR研究宣传，包括通过ESRC博士培训中心试行早期职业社会科学家的参与，并通过区域大学小组和专业和机构网络访问学术社会科学网络；快速审查与AMR相关的现有社会科学研究；由特定学科的专家顾问编写简报，总结各自领域的相关知识和未来研究的关键问题；开发支持社会科学的网站，链接到相关网页、博客帖子、兴趣登记表格、与AMR相关的关键科学概念的网络研讨会链接，以及可下载的资源；公众和患者参与活动，包括使用Twitter和其他渠道突出当前新闻的社会科学层面；通过访问关键研究机构和科学会议，在卫生研究人员和科学家中宣传社会科学。重点网络和提案制定活动：这些活动将把感兴趣的社会科学家和生物医学、兽医和人口卫生科学的潜在合作者聚集在一起。这些活动的时间和地点将在我们的活动发展过程中与ESRC办公室密切协商后商定。

Successfully engaging social scientists to contribute to combatting Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) will require innovative and proactive communication. To generate research that is directly relevant to clinical, diagnostic and population health needs among both humans and animals, social scientists will need to be enabled by the provision of readily understandable biomedical, microbiological and epidemiological background information. Equally crucial is that academic social scientists, and particularly those without a background in applied health research, are encouraged to appreciate how work on AMR can produce original and innovative research that has value within their own fields. For instance transmission of prevention practices may be a useful vehicle for research on social networks, attempts to tackle AMR internationally would be a good exemplar for policy analysis, and issues of diversity, marginalisation and poverty are key components in the social patterning of emergent AMR. The approach we propose will address both advocacy and support needs through a range of activities to be developed in close consultation with ESRC including:Open forums to highlight the potential and needs for AMR-related research at the national and international conferences of relevant social science disciplines; Compiling a database of interested social scientists for future use by ESRC; AMR research advocacy among social scientists, including piloting engagement of early career social scientists through ESRC Doctoral Training Centres, and accessing academic social science networks through regional university groupings and professional and institutional networks;Rapid review to scope existing social science research relevant to AMR; Production of briefing papers by discipline-specific expert advisors to summarise relevant knowledge in their field and key issues for future research; Development of a website for Championing Social Science with links to relevant webpages, blog postings, forms for registering interest, links to webinars on key scientific concepts relating to AMR, and downloadable resources; Public and patient engagement activities including use of Twitter and other outlets to highlight social science dimensions of current news;Social science advocacy among health researchers and scientists through visits to key research institutions and scientific meetings.Focused networking and proposal development events: These will bring interested social scientists together with potential collaborators in the biomedical, veterinary and population health sciences. The timing and location of these events will be agreed in close consultation with the ESRC office as our activities develop.
