DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (ECHORN) has two aims: (1) To form a research collaborative across the Eastern Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Barbados, and Trinidad & Tobago to recruit and follow a community-dwelling adult cohort to estimate the prevalence of known and potential risk factors associated with the development of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes and (2) To enhance health outcomes research leadership capacity in the region through a series of dedicated activities locally and abroad. ECHORN will expand clinical research with racial/ethnic minority populations in a transitioning part of the globe now threatened with an epidemic of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCD). ECHORN's findings will have direct implications for the health disparities research and policy agenda in the mainland United States. In the long term, the links ECHORN will facilitate with local health policy delegations and global strategic organizational partners will promote the translation of research to improve health outcomes across the region. The collection and storage of biological specimens will also contribute to national biomonitoring projects and has the potential to identify unique risk and protective factors in the development of NCD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Strengthening capacity for the design and implementation of actionable health outcomes research within the Eastern Caribbean is an essential component of any comprehensive strategy to combat the emerging epidemic of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) in the Western Hemisphere and globally. The Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (ECHORN) is a novel, multipronged collaboration that will ultimately inform strategies, diagnostics, technologies, and targeted interventions to improve health.

描述（由申请人提供）：东加勒比健康成果研究网络 (ECHORN) 有两个目标：(1) 在波多黎各、美属维尔京群岛、巴巴多斯和特立尼达和多巴哥等东加勒比岛屿之间建立研究合作伙伴关系，招募和跟踪社区居住的成年人队列，以估计与心脏病、癌症和心脏病发展相关的已知和潜在风险因素的患病率。 (2) 通过在国内外开展一系列专门活动，增强该地区健康结果研究的领导能力。 ECHORN 将在目前受到非传染性慢性疾病 (NCD) 流行威胁的全球转型地区扩大针对少数种族/族裔人口的临床研究。 ECHORN 的研究结果将对美国大陆的健康差异研究和政策议程产生直接影响。从长远来看，ECHORN 将促进与当地卫生政策代表团和全球战略组织合作伙伴的联系，将促进研究转化，以改善整个地区的健康结果。生物标本的收集和储存也将有助于国家生物监测项目，并有可能确定非传染性疾病发展中的独特风险和保护因素。 公共卫生相关性：加强东加勒比地区设计和实施可操作的健康结果研究的能力是任何抗击西半球和全球新出现的非传染性疾病（NCD）流行病的综合战略的重要组成部分。东加勒比健康成果研究网络 (ECHORN) 是一项新颖的多管齐下的合作，最终将为改善健康的策略、诊断、技术和有针对性的干预措施提供信息。
