DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific aim of this R-24 application is to develop the resources and infrastructure to conduct multidisciplinary research that translates existing theories and knowledge about health promotion and disease prevention into culturally appropriate interventions among African American, Hispanic and rural disadvantaged Appalachian populations. The long-term objectives of the project are to create a partnership infrastructure, the Center for Translational Research for Appalachian Populations (ACTRID) to 1) develop a cohesive research program that addresses precursors and mediators of health disparities in targeted population groups; 2) partner with Hispanic, African American and disadvantaged rural population groups to address health disparities; 3) disseminate culturally sensitive health information to target population groups; and 4) train and mentor ETSU researchers in community-driven health disparities research. Appalachians of all race and ethnicity experience higher morbidity and mortality than most areas of the nation, and little is known about the dual health disparity effects of being of minority status and living in a disadvantaged geographic area. ACTRID will develop research to close that gap in knowledge. The project will be implemented through partnerships among ETSU; Oak Ridge Associated Universities, who will provide access to mentors and advisors from HBCUs/MEIs and other ORAU institutions for ETSU researchers; and community linkage organizations, which will offer a community perspective to guide the research program in a direction that will be meaningful to the community. A cohesive program of translational research that aims to discover and intervene to improve the health status of minorities and rural disadvantaged population groups in Appalachia will be built using a conceptual model of precursors, mediators and outcomes. Incorporation of members of community linkage groups into the structure of the ACTRID will aid in dissemination of research results to community members and providers who can use them to improve health; and further enhance entree into African American, Hispanic and rural communities. A training and mentoring program that will build skills in health disparities research and link ETSU faculty members with research experts around the region and the nation through ORAU will move ACTRID researchers forward in a program of studies relevant to the targeted population groups.

描述(申请人提供)：这份R-24申请的具体目标是开发资源和基础设施，以进行多学科研究，将现有的关于健康促进和疾病预防的理论和知识转化为在非裔美国人、西班牙裔和阿巴拉契亚农村弱势群体中适合文化的干预措施。该项目的长期目标是创建一个伙伴关系基础设施，即阿巴拉契亚人口翻译研究中心(ACTRID)，以1)制定一个有凝聚力的研究计划，解决目标人口群体中健康差距的前兆和中介问题；2)与西班牙裔、非裔美国人和弱势农村人口群体合作，解决健康差距问题；3)向目标人口群体传播具有文化敏感性的健康信息；以及4)培训和指导ETSU研究人员进行社区驱动的健康差距研究。所有种族和族裔的阿巴拉契亚人的发病率和死亡率都高于全国大多数地区，对少数族裔地位和生活在不利地理区域的双重健康差距影响知之甚少。ACTRID将开展研究，以缩小这一知识差距。该项目将通过以下伙伴关系实施：ETSU；橡树岭联合大学，后者将为ETSU研究人员提供来自HBCU/MEIS和其他ORAU机构的导师和顾问；以及社区联系组织，这将提供社区视角，指导研究计划朝着对社区有意义的方向发展。一个旨在发现和干预阿巴拉契亚地区少数族裔和农村弱势群体健康状况的转化研究的凝聚力计划将使用前体、介体和结果的概念模型来建立。将社区联系小组的成员纳入ACTRID的结构将有助于向社区成员和提供者传播研究成果，这些成员和提供者可以利用研究成果改善健康；并进一步加强与非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔和农村社区的联系。一项培训和指导计划将培养健康差距研究方面的技能，并通过ORAU将ETSU教职员工与地区和全国的研究专家联系起来，这将推动ACTRID研究人员在与目标人群相关的研究计划中取得进展。
