UMass Center for Health Equity Intervention Research

健康公平干预研究中心（CHEIR）是研究人员，教育工作者和社区活动家之间跨学科合作的产物，通过广泛的计划无缝编织，以消除健康差距。CHEIR的组成部分（教育，研究和社区参与）相互支持，以实现各自的目标。CHEIR教师将：（1）实施三个具体的研究项目;（2）为制定文化和语言上敏感的干预措施提供专家咨询;（3）提供生物统计和数据管理资源;（4）培养具有高潜力的新生思想的年轻科学家;（5）通过提高研究素养和参与研究来回应现有的社区兴趣和需求;以及（6）为下一代健康差异研究人员提供正式和面向服务的培训机会，创造多元化的劳动力。我们将利用现有的资源，通过我们的临床和转化科学奖，我们的预防研究中心，和三个少数民族研究所（加斯顿研究所，威廉门罗特罗特研究所和新英格兰美洲土著研究所）。 行政核心的具体目标是：（SA 1）通过有效管理中心成员，调查员和社区网络，丰富活动，如会议和研讨会，以及CHEIR活动和研究成果的传播，产生协作和协同作用;（SA 2）通过使用LOGIC模型定期和系统地监测每个组件和整个中心，确保CHEIR满足所有既定目标;（SAS）进行两个高调的合成，参与和提升，以消除差异（种子）研讨会，（1）从整体的角度综合我们迄今为止的进展;（2）巩固我们与教师，学生和社区的参与;和（3）通过映射前进的过程和最佳定位CHEIR来实现和维持其持续的使命，将我们的工作提升到一个新的水平;和（SA 4）参与外展活动，包括与其他NCMHD卓越中心合作，并通过多个地点，如互联网传播站。

The Center for Health Equity Intervention Research (CHEIR) is the product of inter-disciplinary collaboration among researchers, educators, and community activists, seamlessly woven through a broadbased plan to eliminate health disparities. CHEIR components (education, research, and community engagement) support each other for the attainment of their respective aims. CHEIR faculty will: (1) implement three specific research projects; (2) provide expert consultation for developing culturally and linguistically responsive interventions; (3) provide biostatistical and data management resources; (4) nurture junior scientists with high-potential nascent ideas; (5) respond to existing community interest and need by increasing research literacy and engagement in research; and (6) provide formal and service-oriented training opportunities to the next generation of health disparity researchers, creating a diverse workforce. We will leverage existing resources available through our Clinical and Translational Science Award, our Prevention Research Center, and three minority institutes (the Gaston Institute, the William Monroe Trotter Institute and the Institute for New England Native American Studies). The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core are to: (SA1) Generate collaboration and synergy by effectively managing center membership, investigator and community networking, enrichment activities such as conferences and workshops, and dissemination of CHEIR activities and research findings; (SA2) Ensure CHEIR meets all stated goals by regular and systematic monitoring of each component and the overall center using the LOGIC model; (SAS) Conduct two high-profile Synthesis, Engagement, and Elevation to Eliminate Disparities (SEED) Symposia that (1) synthesize our progress to date from a holistic perspective; (2) solidify our engagement with faculty, students, and community; and (3) elevate our work to the next level by mapping the course forward and best positioning CHEIR to fulfill and sustain its ongoing mission; and (SA4) Engage in outreach activities, including collaboration with other NCMHD Centers of Excellence, and through multiple venues such as the Internet Dissemination Depot.
