项目摘要

The UW's Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRI) has successfully pursued its mission to address American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) health and eliminate health disparities by developing a trans-disciplinary research infrastructure, cultivating extensive partnerships with leading national and international tribal communities and organizations, and securing $14 million in research and training awards over its initial five years. The UW and School of Social Work have provided fertile ground for IWRI development and have pledged considerable additional institutional and administrative support. This application, in response to RFA-MD-11-003 "NIMHD Comprehensive Centers of Excellence (P60)" is designed to develop IWRI as a National Comprehensive Center of Excellence (COE) devoted to AIAN health and health disparities research and to develop a cadre of NIH-funded AIAN behavioral scientists. It provides an excellent opportunity for IWRI to consolidate its burgeoning infrastructure and strengthen existing partners into a vibrant, synergistic, collaborative whole. IWRI's thematic focus is on behaviorally rooted health conditions that disproportionately affect AIANS (e.g., cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and mental illness) and is grounded in the theoretical and empirical work of IWRI's eminent leaders, who have been awarded numerous NIH grants on AIAN health-related projects over the last two decades and, along with the extensive network of IWRI investigators and community partners, have been at the forefront of AIAN behavioral research. Their innovative work emphasizes the importance of historical context in addressing AIAN health needs, as well as the co-occurring factors of violence, substance use, and psychological distress that affect health. These risk factors are conceptualized in the Director's ground-breaking Indigenist Stress-Coping Model, which will be used to guide curriculum and program development. Consistent with the four main objectives of NIMHD Centers, the proposed aims of IWRI are to Improve AIAN health and eliminate health disparities by: (1) developing an integrated, comprehensive, and centralized trans-disciplinary research infrastructure that builds on the successes of IWRI's research, training activities, and community capacity building; (2) cultivating existing and establishing novel partnerships with AIAN tribal communities and other organizations to facilitate truly collaborative research; (3) developing new and enhancing existing research training activities at IWRI that prepare researchers to conduct scientifically rigorous and culturally grounded health research; and (4) strengthening and consolidating AIAN engagement, outreach and institutional partnerships.

西澳大学的土著健康研究所（IWRI）成功地追求了对美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加人（AIAN）健康的解决任务，并通过建立跨学科研究基础设施来消除健康差异，与领先的国家和国际部落社区和组织领先的伙伴关系建立广泛的伙伴关系，并在其1400万美元的研究和培训五年中获得了1400万美元的奖励。大学和社会工作学院为IWRI开发提供了肥沃的基础，并承诺了大量的机构和行政支持。该应用程序响应RFA-MD-11-003“ NIMHD综合卓越中心（P60）”旨在发展IWRI作为国家综合卓越中心（COE），该中心致力于Aian健康和健康差异研究，并开发了NIH资助的Aian行为科学家的研究。它为IWRI提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以合并其新兴的基础架构，并将现有合作伙伴加剧成一个充满活力，协同的协作整体。 IWRI的主题重点是影响Aians（例如心血管疾病，肥胖，糖尿病，糖尿病，艾滋病毒/艾滋病，药物滥用和精神疾病）的行为根植的健康状况，并以IWRI杰出的领导者的理论和经验工作为基础，他们授予了许多NIH NIH授予的项目，并及时享受了终于终止的项目，并终于获得了终于良好的健康状况。 IWRI调查人员和社区合作伙伴一直处于Aian行为研究的最前沿。他们的创新工作强调了历史背景在满足AIA的健康需求以及影响健康的暴力，药物使用和心理困扰的同时发生的因素中的重要性。这些风险因素在主任的开创性土著主义压力型模型中被概念化，该模型将用于指导课程和计划开发。与NIMHD中心的四个主要目标一致，IWRI的拟议目的是改善AIAN的健康并消除健康差异：（1）开发一个综合，全面和集中的跨学科研究基础设施，以基于IWRI的研究，培训活动，培训活动和社区能力建设的成功; （2）与Aian部落社区和其他组织建立现有的并建立新颖的伙伴关系，以促进真正的合作研究；（3）在IWRI上开发新的和增强现有的研究培训活动，使研究人员准备进行科学严格和文化扎根的健康研究；（4）加强和巩固AIA的参与，外展和机构伙伴关系。
