点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Administrative Core Specific Aim i: To establish an enduring, adaptable and conducive infrastructure for Montana researchers, medical and public health practitioners, and Native American community members to develop their capacity, coordinate their efforts and cooperate to successfully address the health disparities faced by Montana's Native American populations. In their recently published book, Collaborative Research: University and Community Partnerships, Sullivan and Kelly describe the environment required for community-university research partnerships to flourish-^. This environment reflects the CBPR principles described above and includes: * Having an operations office and appropriately staffed committees; * Establishing a steering or advisory committee to ensure appropriate oversight and guidance; * Having guidelines and principles that govern the partnership's operations, developed and adopted by the full partnership; * Using developmental funds to support pilot projects of importance to the full partnership; * Offering technical assistance and education as requested by partners; and * Creating a forum to facilitate the early dissemination of research findings and to help translate research into policy and practice. These recommendations are 100% consistent with the Consortium's plans. The following discussions of the Administrative and other Cores address the recommendations.
