DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hispanic farmworkers and their families suffer a disproportionate number of injuries and illnesses associated with their work and limited personal resources. Over the next two years, we intend to establish a sustainable national farmworker research network based upon a consortium of existing Community and Migrant Health Centers, organized by the National Center for Farmworker Health in conjunction with The University of Texas School of Public Health and Battelle. This reciprocal and equitable community and academic partnership will build the necessary infrastructure for a linkage of electronic medical records from a consortium of clinics to build a National Farmworker Clinical Research Database. This effort, and all associated future research, will be guided by mutually engaged partners through a National Steering Committee and National Advisory Committee, including farmworkers, healthcare providers, community and migrant health organizations, and academic researchers. This network will be sustained by leveraging established resources, including community and migrant health centers, and long-term federally funded research and training centers in academic health centers. The network will also be supported by future research funding opportunities from federal agencies that have prioritized the need for farmworker research in their vision and goals; and current research agendas to improve health outcomes, reduce health disparities, and increase access to health care for underserved populations. We also aim to conduct reciprocal research training that involves community- based participatory research training for academic partners and training in the conduct of research for community partners. The goal of our community-academic partnership is to create previously unattainable and relevant research opportunities that will focus on occupational exposures and adverse health outcomes to understand and promote the health of the at-risk and often mobile farmworker population. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Community and Migrant Health Centers in the US serve as the primary source of medical, dental, and mental health care to 20 million mainly low income and medically underserved patients, including nearly one million migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Farmworkers suffer a disproportionate number of injuries and illnesses associated with their work. A community- university team will develop a stable partnership to link medical records from a group of Community and Migrant Health Centers to build a National Farmworker Clinical Research Database with the goal to study and promote the health of farmworkers.

描述（由申请人提供）：西班牙裔农场工人和他们的家人遭受了与他们的工作和有限的个人资源相关的伤害和疾病的不成比例的数量。在接下来的两年里，我们打算建立一个可持续的国家农场工人研究网络的基础上，现有的社区和移民健康中心，由国家中心农场工人健康与公共卫生和巴特尔的德克萨斯大学学校一起组织的联盟。这种互惠和公平的社区和学术伙伴关系将建立必要的基础设施，以连接来自诊所联盟的电子病历，建立国家农场工人临床研究数据库。这项工作以及所有相关的未来研究将由相互参与的合作伙伴通过国家指导委员会和国家咨询委员会进行指导，其中包括农场工人，医疗保健提供者，社区和移民卫生组织以及学术研究人员。该网络将通过利用现有资源来维持，包括社区和移民健康中心，以及学术健康中心的长期联邦资助的研究和培训中心。该网络还将得到联邦机构未来研究资助机会的支持，这些机构在其愿景和目标中优先考虑农场工人研究的需求;以及当前的研究议程，以改善健康结果，减少健康差距，并增加服务不足人群获得医疗保健的机会。我们还旨在开展互惠研究培训，包括为学术合作伙伴提供基于社区的参与性研究培训，以及为社区合作伙伴提供开展研究的培训。我们的社区学术伙伴关系的目标是创造以前无法实现的和相关的研究机会，将重点放在职业暴露和不利的健康结果，以了解和促进健康的风险和经常移动的农场工人人口。 公共卫生关系：美国的社区和移民健康中心是医疗、牙科和精神卫生保健的主要来源，为2000万低收入和医疗服务不足的患者提供服务，其中包括近100万移民和季节性农场工人。农场工人因工作而受伤和生病的人数不成比例。一个社区-大学团队将建立稳定的伙伴关系，将一组社区和移民健康中心的医疗记录联系起来，建立一个国家农场工人临床研究数据库，目标是研究和促进农场工人的健康。
