Core--Research Support

研究支助核心(RSC)将继续促进CVPR的目标，以促进对弱势群体(VP)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，这一点从RSC服务的持续利用和CVPR调查人员的生产力中得到了证明。VP中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将通过维持RSC的基础设施，继续为加州大学洛杉矶分校护理学院的教职员工和学生提供这类研究的统计和方法支持。此外，它将向越来越多的跨学科和非加州大学洛杉矶分校的调查人员提供资源，通过与项目设计、选择和设计符合文化的措施有关的培训、咨询和技术援助活动，应用最先进的分析和数据收集和安全方法，以及协助传播分析结果，与副总裁进行生物行为研究。此外，皇家莎士比亚委员会将与调查人员合作，开发新的文化和语言合适的工具，并测试新的数据收集方法。为此，RSC的具体目标是1)促进CVPR调查人员、附属机构和社区合作伙伴的项目发展，并将量化和 通过在项目设计和提案准备方面提供咨询服务、讲习班和技术援助，提供定性设计和方法；(2)通过提供仪器翻译、评分算法、与现有仪器的链接和有关专题的讲习班，促进文化敏感措施的选择、设计和使用；(3)就与VP研究特别相关的分析问题和方法向CVPR调查员、附属机构和社区伙伴提供生物统计学咨询、培训和发展，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和由社区参与者进行解释方面，向CVPR调查员、附属机构和社区伙伴提供协助。

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.
