Building Sustainable Community-Linked Infrastructure: The FCHL Collaborative

描述（由申请人提供）：福赛斯县健康生活协作（FCHL协作）是维克森林大学健康科学（WFUHS），社区帮助所有邻居获得赋权（CHANGE），福赛斯县公共卫生部门（FCDPH），基督教女青会温斯顿塞勒姆和邻居更好的社区（NBN）之间的伙伴关系。FCHL合作的目标是通过扩大社区组织参与临床和转化研究的能力以及WFUHS调查员与社区组织进行有效合作的能力，在北卡罗来纳州福赛斯县建立成功实施与社区有关的卫生科学研究所需的基础设施。基于WFUHS转化科学研究所的社区参与和实施计划，FCHL合作项目具有变革性，有潜力通过实现四个具体目标来确保健康生活临床和转化研究的公平性、未来能力和可持续性：(1)实施项目，建立、维持和扩大社区组织和机构参与健康生活健康科学研究的能力；(2)实施计划，扩大WFUHS调查员的承诺和能力，让社区组织和机构参与健康生活的健康科学研究；(3)支持开展与社区相关的研究，以记录福赛斯县健康生活现状，以及健康生活的经济、社会和物理障碍；(4)建立一个框架，以维持与社区相关的卫生科学研究的这种合作。基于与社区相关的研究的概念和操作模型，FCHL协作开发了一个WFUHS与其社区合作伙伴之间双向沟通的框架。这种双向通信使用了一套内接触和外展的实践。研究基础设施将包括技能发展、项目咨询和社区研究功能。转化科学研究所对与社区有关的健康生活研究的长期承诺确保了该方案的可持续性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Forsyth County Healthy Living Collaborative (FCHL Collaborative) is a partnership among Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS), Communities Helping All Neighbors Gain Empowerment (CHANGE), the Forsyth County Department of Public Health (FCDPH), the YWCA Winston-Salem, and Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods (NBN). The goals of the FCHL Collaborative is to build the infrastructure needed to successfully implement community-linked health science research in Forsyth County, North Carolina, by expanding the capacity of community organizations to participate in clinical and translational research and the capacity of WFUHS investigators to collaborate competently with community organizations. Based in the Community Engagement and Implementation Program of the WFUHS Translational Science Institute, the FCHL Collaborative is transformative and has the potential to ensure equity, future capacity, and sustainability for clinical and translational research for healthy living through achieving four specific aims: (1) implement programs that build, sustain, and expand the capacity of community organizations and agencies to participate in health science research addressing healthy living; (2) implement programs that expand the commitment and capacity of WFUHS investigators to engage community organizations and agencies to participate in health science research on healthy living; (3) support the development and implementation of community-linked research to document the current status of healthy living, and the economic, social, and physical barriers to healthy living in Forsyth County; and (4) establish a framework to sustain this collaboration for community-linked health science research. Based on conceptual and operational models of community-linked research, the FCHL Collaborative has developed a framework for bi-directional communication between WFUHS and its community partners. This bi-directional communication uses a set of practices for in-reach and outreach. The research infrastructure will include programs within skill development, program consultation, and community research functions. The long-term commitment of the Translational Science Institute to community-linked research for healthy living ensures the sustainability of this program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Forsyth County Healthy Living Collaborative is a partnership among Wake Forest University Health Sciences, Communities Helping All Neighbors Gain Empowerment, the Forsyth County Department of Public Health, the YWCA Winston-Salem, and Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods. The FCHL Collaborative is transformative and has the potential to ensure equity, future capacity, and sustainability for clinical and translational research for healthy living.
