项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is written in response to the program announcement, PA-10-071: NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (Parent R13). This application seeks funding to support a unique, "first-ever" national health conference being convened in Anchorage, Alaska that will focus specifically on the health and wellness of the Native Peoples of the US (Alaska Natives, American Indians and Native Hawaiians). The conference program will be co-sponsored by the Center for Native and Pacific Health Disparities Research (CNPHDR), Department of Native Hawaiian Health, John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii and the Association of American Indian Physicians (AAIP). These two native-focused organizations have formed a cooperative partnership to plan, coordinate and implement this conference entitled "Advancing Native Health and Wellness". Both organizations are well established native serving organizations who collectively have more than 50+ years of health conference planning experience and who represent native physicians, academic scholars, and primary health care providers with close ties to Native communities, villages and tribes. The overall conference objective is to provide an innovative conference setting that will stimulate discussion and sharing of scientific knowledge, cultural wisdom and native-driven models of health and wellness that will inform health policy and health programs designed to promote the health and wellness of Native Peoples in the US. The 5-1/2-day conference will include health care topics related to native driven research, diversity in the biomedical and health care workforce, community engagement and traditional healing through scientific presentations, training/faculty workshops and community panel discussions as well as talking circles and talk story sessions. The application aims to complete these goals through the following: Specific aim #1: Present and discuss the latest scientific advances on health and health care disparities among Alaska Natives, American Indians, and Native Hawaiians. Specific aim #2: Provide opportunities and raise awareness of student/resident training and faculty development programs designed to build a diverse biomedical research and health care workforce for Native Peoples of the US. Specific aim #3: Share and understand the practice of traditional healing and cultural wisdom to achieve holistic health in Native Peoples. Specific aim #4: Describe and demonstrate the impact of culturally appropriate models of health care service and community programs that have been effective in improving the health and wellness of Native peoples of the US. Thus, the conference will feature a strong scientific program embedded within a native cultural context that will bring together a diverse group of speakers representing research scientists, students, emerging investigators, traditional healers, health care providers, community leaders and policy makers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The scientific need for a conference dedicated to examining Native health disparities is both timely and fills a gap in our understanding of the complex issues that have contributed to or served as the root causes of excess health burdens such as diabetes, obesity, cancer, heart disease and suicide that disproportionately affects Native populations in the US. This conference aims to explore some of the complexities that Native People experience in the US that may be detrimental to their health as well as factors that enable resilience and ownership of their health and wellness that has the potential for reversing health disparities across all Native Peoples in the US.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是根据计划公告的响应，PA-10-071：NIH支持会议和科学会议（父母R13）。该申请寻求资金来支持在阿拉斯加安克雷奇召集的独特的“首先”全国卫生会议，该会议将专门关注美国土著人民的健康和健康（阿拉斯加土著人，美洲印第安人和夏威夷原住民）。该会议计划将由夏威夷大学本地夏威夷卫生部，夏威夷大学医学院和美洲印度医师协会（AAAIP）的本地和太平洋健康差异研究中心（CNPHDR）共同赞助。这两个以土著为中心的组织建立了合作伙伴关系，以计划，协调和实施题为“推进本地健康和保健”的会议。这两个组织都是成熟的本地服务组织，他们拥有超过50年以上的健康会议计划经验，并代表与土著社区，村庄和部落有着密切联系的土著医师，学术学者和初级卫生保健提供者。总体会议目标是提供创新的会议环境，该环境将刺激讨论和共享科学知识，文化智慧以及以卫生和保健的本地驱动模型，这将为旨在促进美国土著人民健康和健康的健康政策和健康计划提供依据。为期5-1/2天的会议将包括与本地驱动研究，生物医学和医疗保健员工的多样性有关的医疗保健主题，通过科学演示，培训/教师讲习班以及社区小组讨论以及谈论圆圈和谈话故事，社区和卫生保健员工的多样性，社区参与和传统的康复。该应用程序旨在通过以下以下目的完成这些目标：具体目标＃1：提出并讨论阿拉斯加土著人，美国印第安人和夏威夷原住民的健康和卫生保健差异的最新科学进步。具体目标2：提供机会并提高人们对学生/居民培训和教师开发计划的认识，旨在为美国土著人民建立多样化的生物医学研究和医疗保健员工。特定目的＃3：分享并理解传统的康复和文化智慧的实践，以实现原住民的整体健康。特定目的4：描述并证明并展示有效改善美国土著人民健康和健康的卫生保健服务和社区计划模型的影响。因此，该会议将以一个强大的科学计划为特色，该计划嵌入到本地文化背景下，该计划将汇集一组代表研究科学家，学生，新兴研究人员，传统治疗师，卫生保健提供者，社区领导者和政策制定者的多样化的讲话者。公共卫生相关性：致力于检查本地健康差异的会议的科学需求既及时，又填补了我们对复杂问题的理解导致或作为过度健康负担的根本原因，例如糖尿病，肥胖，癌症，心脏病和自杀，对美国本地人群不成比例。这次会议旨在探讨本地人在美国遇到的一些复杂性，这些复杂性可能对他们的健康有害，以及使其健康和健康的韧性和所有权的因素，这些因素有可能扭转美国所有土著人民的健康差异。
