COBRE: UAF: CULTURE AND INTERVENTION CORE E

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 CANHR项目制定了长期目标，用于对阿拉斯加原住民的肥胖和其他慢性病相关风险因素进行公共卫生研究，与NIH路线图保持一致。这些目标包括加强转化研究能力和组建跨学科研究团队。阿拉斯加土著社区领导人还确定将研究转化为健康改善战略是CANHR的一个重要优先事项。文化和干预（CI）的核心职能包括解决研究方法，测量和信息传播中的文化问题。CI核心发展设计和实施文化上适当的转化研究工作的能力，包括基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）以及预防和健康促进战略。CI核心有三个具体目标： 具体目标1：协助研究人员开发和完善语言和文化上适当的研究方法，程序和工具。 具体目标2：协助研究人员在我们的目标区域内制定文化上适当的预防/转化研究项目。 具体目标3：加强CANHR的基础设施，为部落社区规划预防/转化研究的调查人员提供咨询。 CI核心成员协助调查人员（1）确定他们的数据对干预措施发展的潜在翻译影响，（2）确定科学严谨性与参与社区的目标和需求之间的潜在差异和冲突领域，以及（3）概念化，设计，计划，实施和评估以文化上适当的方式与阿拉斯加原住民的干预措施。CI核心塑造了CANHR附属研究，以直接解决阿拉斯加原住民之间的公共卫生差异。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The CANHR project has developed long-term goals for public health research on obesity and other chronic disease-related risk factors of Alaska Natives consistent with the NIH Roadmap. These goals include strengthening capacity for translational research and assembling interdisciplinary research teams. Alaska Native community leaders also identified translation of research into health improvement strategies as a strong CANHR priority. The Culture and Intervention (CI) Core functions include addressing cultural issues in research methods, measurement, and information dissemination. The CI Core develops the capacity to design and implement culturally appropriate translational research efforts, including community-based participatory research (CBPR), and prevention and health promotion strategies. The CI Core has three specific aims: Specific Aim 1: Assist investigators in developing and refining linguistically and culturally appropriate research methodologies, procedures, and instruments. Specific Aim 2: Assist investigators in developing culturally appropriate prevention/translational research projects within our target area. Specific Aim 3: Enhance CANHR's infrastructure to provide consultation with investigators planning prevention/translational research with tribal communities. CI Core members assist investigators to (1) identify potential translational implications of their data for the development of interventions, (2) identify potential areas of differences and conflicts between the rigors of science, and the goals and needs of the participating communities, and (3) conceptualize, design, plan, implement, and evaluate interventions with Alaska Native populations in culturally appropriate ways. The CI Core shapes CANHR affiliated research to directly address public health disparities among Alaska Natives.
