A Systems Approach for Community-Linked Health Research Across the "Plaza"

描述（由申请人提供）：提议的“广场”项目的总体目标是发展一个创新的、持久的学术社区研究企业，由内布拉斯加州领先的健康科学中心和主要社区组织之间的公平伙伴关系共同创建和建立，这些组织共享责任和权力，以改善社区的健康结果。战略重点是一个快速变化和挑战的社区-南奥马哈，4个“广场伙伴”-该州最大的联邦合格医疗中心（OneWorld社区医疗中心公司），服务于内布拉斯加州最大城市的当地政府公共卫生机构（道格拉斯县卫生局），(3)一个独立的、非营利性的、以社区为基础的健康和保健联盟，由120多名代表重点地区和人口的成员组成（南奥马哈社区护理委员会- SOCCC），以及(4)内布拉斯加州唯一的公共学术健康科学中心（内布拉斯加大学医学中心- UNMC），由其公共卫生学院（COPH）锚定，联合起来改变我们的设计、沟通、决策的方式和手段，参与和利用旨在改善公众健康的合作研究。在这四个主要机构以及联合国医学中心内部，在卫生科学研究领域没有现有的结盟或协议。为了从战略上和集体上利用我们联合资产的力量来长期影响公共卫生和卫生保健服务，我们提出了一种综合系统方法，它结合了三个具体目标：(A)为相关的协作卫生科学研究建立社区和学术准备；(B)建立综合数据系统以支持与社区有关的保健科学研究；(C)建立合作研究能力，以应对社区卫生方面的优先挑战。成员来自四个伙伴机构的三个相应工作组将在每个目标下制定和实施一系列相互交织的活动，其中包括：举办简短的社区论坛，邀请和支持联合国医学中心的研究人员和社区伙伴获得关于卫生研究和彼此的共同知识；举办更长时间的准备讲习班，以建立研究人员与社区的关系，建立相互信任，并就适于合作研究的社区卫生问题达成更多的共同理解；数据系统分析，盘点，评估和重新设计，以告知研究重点和支持未来的研究；为多达8个混合团队开发和实施以团队为基础的研究行动学习协作培训计划，以解决优先领域。经验丰富的合作领导，令人信服的愿景和对公平的承诺将使广场伙伴关系可行，充满活力，并准备抓住这一独特的NIH资助机会。合作的奉献精神不仅将为南奥马哈未来健康的一代维持和发展丰富的合作，而且还将为全国其他社区提供一个模式，以建立持久的健康研究基础设施。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the proposed "Plaza" project is to develop an innovative, durable academic- community research enterprise co-created and grounded by an equitable partnership among Nebraska's leading health science center and key community organizations who share accountability and authority for improving the health outcomes of the community. With a strategic focus on one rapidly changing and challenged community - South Omaha, 4 "Plaza Partners" - the state's largest federally qualified health center (OneWorld Community Health Center, Inc), the local governmental public health agency serving the largest city in Nebraska (Douglas County Health Department), (3) an independent non-profit community based health and wellness coalition of over 120 members representing the area and populations of focus (South Omaha Community Care Council - SOCCC), and (4) Nebraska's only public academic health sciences center (University of Nebraska Medical Center - UNMC), anchored by its College of Public Health (COPH) - have joined forces to transform our ways and means of designing, communicating, decision-making, participating in and using collaborative research intended to improve the public's health. Across these four key institutions, as well as within UNMC, there are no existing alignments or agreements in the realm of health science research. To strategically and collectively harness the power of our combined assets to impact public health and health care delivery in the long-term, we propose an integrated systems approach which combines three specific aims: (A) Building Community and Academic Readiness for Relevant Collaborative Health Science Research; (B) Building Integrated Data Systems to Support Community-linked Health Science Research; and (C) Building Collaborative Research Capacity to Address Priority Community Health Challenges. Three corresponding working groups whose members are from across the four partner institutions will develop and implement a series of interwoven activities under each aim, to include: brief community forums that invite and support UNMC researchers and community partners to gain common knowledge about health research and each other; longer readiness workshops to forge researcher-community relationships, build mutual trust, and reach greater shared understanding of community health issues amenable to collaborative research; data systems analysis, inventory, assessment and redesign to inform research priorities and support future research; development and implementation of a teams-based Research Action Learning Collaborative training program for up to 8 mixed teams to address priority areas. Seasoned collaborative leadership, a compelling vision, and a commitment to equity will render a Plaza Partnership which is viable, vigorous, and prepared to seize this unique NIH funding opportunity. The dedication of the collaborative will not only sustain and grow an enriched collaborative for future healthy generations in South Omaha, but provide a model for other communities around the country to flourish in their capacity to build durable health research infrastructures.
