Chicago Center for Diabetes Translation Research

芝加哥糖尿病转化研究中心（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之一的作用，特别强调提高弱势群体的护理质量和结果，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核心在差异，社区参与性研究（CBPR），成本效益分析，卫生服务研究，质量改进，行为改变和老年糖尿病方面的优势之上。芝加哥大学在基础科学和社会科学方面都具有世界一流的优势。该中心既是核心服务和专业知识的提供者，同样重要的是作为一个真正的工作社区的合作者，他们在项目上互相帮助。芝加哥CDTR促进创新的跨学科糖尿病转化研究，整合了卫生保健系统和社区。中心经常运用经济学、组织理论和其他社会科学学科领域的新方法和方法。这项创新工作弥合了研究领域与现实世界的从业人员、管理人员和政策制定者之间的差距，旨在改善糖尿病护理。

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.
