Chicago Center for Diabetes Translation Research

芝加哥糖尿病翻译研究中心(CDTR)旨在扩大其作为研究糖尿病研究成果转化为现实世界实践的先驱国家领导者的角色，特别强调改善弱势群体的护理质量和结果，并减少医疗保健中的种族和民族差异。该中心建立在芝加哥大学糖尿病研究和培训中心预防和控制中心在差异、基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)、成本效益分析、卫生服务研究、质量改进、行为变化和老年糖尿病方面的优势的基础上，在一所在基础和社会科学方面具有世界级优势的大学的背景下建立起来。该中心不仅是核心服务和专业知识的提供者，而且同样重要的是，它是一个真正的合作社区，在项目上相互帮助。芝加哥疾病控制与预防中心促进了创新的跨学科糖尿病翻译研究，将医疗保健系统和社区整合在一起。该中心经常采用经济学、组织理论和其他社会科学领域的新方法和新途径。这项创新工作弥合了研究领域和寻求改善糖尿病护理的现实从业者、管理者和政策制定者之间的差距。 芝加哥糖尿病翻译研究中心的具体目标是： 1)创造一种环境，鼓励和支持创新的糖尿病研究，将科学发现转化为现实世界的实践，特别注重改善弱势人群的护理和结果，并减少种族和社会经济差距。 2)作为地方、地区和国家资源，通过与芝加哥公共卫生部、Access社区卫生网络、中西部临床医生网络、亚太岛民社区卫生组织协会和NAfional社区卫生中心协会建立合作伙伴关系，改善社区卫生中心和其他安全网环境中的糖尿病转化研究。

The Chicago Center for Diabetes Translation Research (CDTR) aims to expand its role as one of the pioneering national leaders in investigating the translation of diabetes research findings into real-world practice, with a particular emphasis on improving the quality of care and outcomes for vulnerable populations and reducing racial and ethnic disparities in health care. The Center builds upon the University of Chicago Diabetes Research and Training Center Prevention and Control Core's strengths in disparities, community based participatory research (CBPR), cost-effectiveness analysis, health services research, quality improvement, behavioral change, and geriatric diabetes within the context of a University with world-class strengths in both the basic and social sciences. The Center serves as both a provider of core services and expertise, and equally importantly as a true working community of collaborators who help each other on projects. The Chicago CDTR facilitates innovative interdisciplinary diabetes translation research that integrates health care system and community. The Center frequently applies new methods and approaches from areas such as economics, organizational theory, and other disciplines of the social sciences. This innovative work bridges the gap between the research arena and real-world practitioners, administrators, and policymakers seeking to improve diabetes care. The Specific Aims of the Chicago Center for Diabetes Translation Research are: 1) To create an environment that encourages and supports innovative diabetes research to translate scientific findings into real-world practice, with a special focus on improving the care and outcomes of vulnerable populations and reducing racial and socioeconomic disparities. 2) To serve as a local, regional, and national resource to improve diabetes translation research in community health centers and other safety net settings by forming partnerships with the Chicago Department of Public Health, ACCESS Community Health Network, MidWest Clinicians' Network, Association of Asian Pacific Islander Community Health Organizations, and Nafional Association of Community Health Centers.
