Core--Research Support

研究支助核心将继续为《人口与健康政策研究》的目标作出贡献，以促进对弱势群体健康差距的研究。RSC为CVPR和加州大学洛杉矶分校护理学院增加了价值，这体现在RSC服务的持续利用和CVPR调查人员的生产力上。VP健康差异研究的复杂性要求继续关注适当的设计，测量和分析策略的应用。RSC将继续通过维持RSC基础设施，为加州大学洛杉矶分校护理学院的教师和学生提供统计和方法支持。此外，它将扩大其资源的可用性，越来越多的跨学科和非加州大学洛杉矶分校的调查人员进行生物行为研究与副总裁通过培训，咨询和技术援助活动有关的项目设计，选择和设计文化上适当的措施，应用国家的最先进的分析和数据收集和安全方法，并在分析结果的传播援助。此外，RSC将与研究人员合作，开发新的文化和语言适当的工具，并测试新的数据收集方法。为此，RSC的具体目标是：1）促进CVPR研究者、附属机构和社区合作伙伴的项目开发，以及定量和 （2）通过提供工具翻译、评分算法、现有工具链接和相关主题的讲习班，为选择、设计和使用文化敏感措施提供便利;（3）为CVPR研究者、附属机构和社区合作伙伴提供生物统计咨询、培训和发展，涉及与VP研究特别相关的分析问题和方法，并在实施这些方法方面提供技术援助;以及（4）就向社区参与者传播分析结果以及由社区参与者解释分析结果向CVPR研究者、附属机构和社区合作伙伴提供协助。

The Research Support Core (RSC) will continue to contribute to the goals of the CVPR to facilitate research on health disparities among vulnerable populations (VPs). The RSC adds value to the CVPR and the UCLA School of Nursing as demonstrated by the consistent utilization of RSC services and the productivity of CVPR investigators. The complexity of research on health disparities in VPs demands continuing attention to the application of appropriate design, measurement, and analysis strategies. The RSC will continue to provide the UCLA School of Nursing faculty and students with statistical and methodological support for this type of research by sustaining the RSC infrastructure. In addition, it will expand its resource availability to the growing number of interdisciplinary and non-UCLA investigators to conduct bio-behavioral research with VPs through training, consultation, and technical assistance activities related to project design, selection and design of culturally appropriate measures, application of state-of-the-art analytic and data collection and security methods, and assistance in dissemination of analytic results. In addition, the RSC will work with investigators to develop new culturally- and linguistically-appropriate instruments and test novel data collection methods. To this end, the specific aims for the RSC are 1) To contribute to the development of projects by CVPR investigators, affiliates, and community partners and the integration of quantitative and qualitative design and methodology, by providing consulting services, workshops, and technical assistance in project design and proposal preparation; (2) To facilitate the selection, design, and use of culturally sensitive measures, by providing instrument translation, scoring algorithms, links to existing instruments, and workshops on related topics; (3) To provide biostatistical consultation, training, and development to CVPR investigators, affiliates, and community partners on analysis issues and methods specifically relevant to research on VPs and provide technical assistance in implementing these methods; and (4) To provide assistance to CVPR investigators, affiliates, and community partners regarding dissemination of analytic results to and interpretation by community participants.
