Core--Shared resources

父摘要(未提供子项目摘要) 描述(由申请者提供)：我们建议建立一个中心，专注于美国印第安人和拉美裔美国人在三个领域的健康差距：糖尿病、药物滥用和妇女癌症预防。拟议的中心将包括一个研究部分，有三个主要核心，每个主题一个核心，一个社区核心，一个培训核心，一个行政核心和一个共享资源核心。每项研究的目标概括如下：研究核心目标：1--开展、协调和促进以亚利桑那州墨西哥裔美国人和美国印第安人社区的独特需求和挑战为重点的健康差距研究；2--通过培训计划和基础设施发展发展健康差距研究能力，由社区指导和关注，并以健全的科学为基础；3--将研究成果转化为有用的信息和活动，以满足我们多种族社区自我确定的需求。社区推广和信息传播核心(COIDC)的总体目标是实现以下三个目标：1)开发和传播文化敏感的健康信息--与该中心的研究或以文化敏感的方式提供的一般健康信息直接相关；2)鼓励和装备社区潜在地参与临床研究和合作开展循证疾病预防和干预活动；3)赞助科学教育推广活动(例如，与地区中学和/或高中开展K-12科学计划)。 亚利桑那州出口中心培训核心有以下目标：1--增加有兴趣在少数民族健康差距领域工作的人数不足的少数民族硕士和博士人数；2--提高对少数民族健康差距的认识和健康科学中心医学和公共卫生研究生的文化能力；3--提高对少数民族健康差距的认识和周围少数民族服务机构(社区学院)教职员工的文化能力；4--增加该地区印第安人保留地可获得的关于少数民族健康差距的信息基金；5--建立有兴趣在少数民族健康差距研究和信息传播领域进行研究的学生渠道，以及6-提高代表不足的少数族裔学生竞争研究生课程和医学院入学的能力。此外，行政核心将为拟议的中心提供基础设施、行政专业知识、领导和支持。还将有一个共享资源核心，侧重于两个支助领域：生物统计和信息技术。

PARENT ABSTRACT (Subproject Abstract not Provided) DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop a Center focused upon health disparities among American Indians and Hispanics in three areas: diabetes, substance abuse, and women's cancer prevention. The proposed Center would include a Research Component with three major cores, one focused on each theme, a Community Core, a Training Core, an Administrative Core, and a Shared Resource Core. The goals of each are summarized as the following: Research Core Goals: 1--Conduct, coordinate and foster health disparities research focused on the unique needs and challenges of the Mexican-American and American Indian communities of Arizona; 2--Develop health disparities research capacity through training programs and infrastructure development, guided and focused by the community and grounded in sound science; and 3--Translate research findings into useable information and activities that address the self-identified needs of our multi-ethnic communities. The overall goal of the Community Outreach and Information Dissemination Core (COIDC) is to meet the following three aims: 1) Development and dissemination of culturally sensitive health information - directly related to the research of the Center or general health information presented in a culturally sensitive manner; 2) Encouraging and equipping the community for potential participation in clinical studies and for partnering in the conduct of evidence based disease prevention and intervention activities; and 3) Sponsorship of science education outreach activities (e.g., K-12 science programs with area middle schools and/or high schools). The Arizona EXPORT Center Training Core has the following objectives: 1- Increase the number of under-represented minority master's and Ph.D.s interested in working in minority health disparities areas, 2-Increase the awareness of minority health disparities and the cultural competence of Health Sciences Center medical and public health graduate students, 3-Increase the awareness of minority health disparities and the cultural competence of faculty in surrounding Minority Serving Institutions (community colleges), 4-Increase the fund of information on Minority Health Disparities available to Native American reservations in the area, 5-Build the pipeline of students interested in pursuing studies in areas of research and information dissemination on Minority Health Disparities, and 6-Increase the ability of under-represented minority students to compete well for admission to graduate programs and medical school. In addition, the Administrative Core will provide the infrastructure, administrative expertise, leadership, and support for the proposed Center. There also will be a Shared Resource Core, focused on two areas of support: Biostatistics and Information Technology.
