Research Core

美国印第安人糖尿病预防中心研究核心将监督该中心在俄克拉荷马州美国印第安部落社区糖尿病健康差异研究方面的主要举措。 作为该核心的一部分提交的提案强调了该中心的跨学科性质，包括基础科学，临床和社会行为研究工作。在研究核心的主持下，有三个完整的研究子项目。这项拟议的研究探讨了导致美国印第安人年轻群体糖尿病健康差异的生物学和社会行为因素，将研究进展从实验室转化为临床实践，转化为社区，从而探索如何将研究结果转化为美国印第安人健康差异的明显改善。 参与的部落民族和AIDPC的合作伙伴，俄克拉荷马州城市地区部落间卫生委员会（OCAWAB），是将本研究结果传播给部落卫生方案以用于临床服务的渠道。翻译研究结果的其他渠道是专业会议、期刊文章和AIDPC网站。

The American Indian diabetes Prevention Center Research Core will oversee the main initiatives of the center in regard to health disparities research on diabetes in Oklahoma American Indian tribal communities. Proposals submitted as a part of this core emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the center, and include basic science, clinical, and social-behavioral research endeavors. Included under the auspices of the Research Core are three full research sub-projects. The proposed research examines biological and socio-behavioral factors contributing to diabetes health disparities in the younger age cohorts of the American Indian population, translating research advances from bench, to clinical practice, to communities, thus exploring ways in which findings can be converted into discernable improvements in health disparities for American Indian populations. The tribal Nations involved and the AIDPC partner, the Oklahoma City Area Inter-tribal Health Board (OCAITHB), are outlets for dissemination of the findings of this research to tribal health programs for its use in clinical service. Other outlets for translation of the findings are professional meetings, journal articles, and the web site of the AIDPC.
