DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of Illinois Prevention Research Center (IPRC) is to collaborate with communities, community agencies, coalitions, small businesses, local and state government, and other partners to engage in interdisciplinary prevention research to test, develop, adapt, implement and evaluate policies and environmental approaches aimed at improving nutrition, physical activity, and tobacco-related health behaviors to reduce chronic disease risk and to reduce disparities in these health behaviors and outcomes. The IPRC will emphasize community engagement and community-based research to help reduce disparities and work closely with community partners throughout Illinois to develop and sustain education and training programs and translate research findings into effective public health policies and environmental changes. The unifying theme of the proposed IPRC of Supporting Policy and Environmental Change aimed at improving health behaviors and reducing disparities will be reflected in all of our Center activities. The IPRC proposed activitie are guided by the CDC's Logic Model for the Prevention Research Center Program and will concentrate in six main areas and aim to: (1) Engage researchers and the community in expert multi-disciplinary applied health promotion and health prevention community-based research aimed at improving health behaviors and reducing chronic disease through effective evidenced-based policy and environmental changes; (2) Conduct community training and provide technical assistance locally and statewide and graduate student and post-doctoral mentoring and education to increase researcher, stakeholder, and community capacity to conduct community- based health prevention research and undertake policy, program, and environmental evaluations; (3) Increase translation of evidence-based research findings into best practices and policies; (4) Build and provide a communications infrastructure and plan that supports information sharing about programmatic, educational and scientific information for a variety of audiences including the public health practice community; local and state health coalitions and advocacy groups; local, state, and national policy-makers; prevention researchers; and, the public; (5) Conduct rigorous evaluations of all IPRC components, report findings, and use this information to improve IPRC programs; and, (6) Identify and address racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and rural disparities in all aspects of the Center's research, community engagement, training, communication, and evaluation to improve health behaviors and reduce related disease risks and outcomes among disadvantaged populations. The IPRC applied public health prevention research project addresses a key CDC Winnable Battle focused on increasing access to and use of parks. Working with community stakeholders, the project capitalizes on planned and funded Chicago Park District playground renovations to evaluate the renovations and implement a park coalition building intervention to increase local capacity to enhance the effects of playground revitalization on park programming, ongoing maintenance, safety, and, in turn, park utilization and physical activity.

描述（申请人提供）：伊利诺伊州预防研究中心（IPRC）的使命是与社区，社区机构，联盟，小企业，地方和州政府以及其他合作伙伴合作，从事跨学科的预防研究，以测试，开发，适应，实施和评估旨在改善营养，体育活动，和烟草相关的健康行为，以减少慢性疾病的风险，并减少这些健康行为和结果的差异。IPRC将强调社区参与和以社区为基础的研究，以帮助减少差距，并与整个伊利诺伊州的社区合作伙伴密切合作，开发和维持教育和培训计划，并将研究成果转化为有效的公共卫生政策和环境变化。建议的IPRC的支持政策和环境变化的统一主题，旨在改善健康行为和减少差距将反映在我们中心的所有活动。IPRC建议的活动以疾病预防控制中心的预防研究中心计划逻辑模型为指导，将集中在六个主要领域，旨在：（1）让研究人员和社区参与专家多学科应用健康促进和健康预防社区研究，旨在通过有效的循证政策和环境变化改善健康行为和减少慢性病;（2）开展社区培训，并在当地和全州范围内提供技术援助，以及研究生和博士后指导和教育，以提高研究人员，利益相关者和社区进行基于社区的健康预防研究和开展政策，计划和环境评估的能力;（3）增加将循证研究成果转化为最佳实践和政策;（4）建立和提供一个通信基础设施和计划，支持有关方案的信息共享，教育和科学信息为各种受众，包括公共卫生实践社区;地方和国家卫生联盟和倡导团体;地方，州和国家政策制定者;预防研究人员;和，公众;（5）对IPRC的所有组成部分进行严格评估，报告调查结果，并利用这些信息改进IPRC方案;和，（6）确定和解决种族/民族，社会经济和农村在中心的研究，社区参与，培训，在弱势群体中，开展宣传和评估，以改善健康行为，减少相关疾病风险和后果。IPRC应用公共卫生预防研究项目解决了一个关键的疾病预防控制中心打赢的战斗，重点是增加进入和使用公园。与社区利益相关者合作，该项目利用计划和资助的芝加哥公园区游乐场改造，以评估改造和实施公园联盟建设干预，以提高当地能力，提高游乐场振兴对公园规划，持续维护，安全，以及反过来，公园利用和体育活动的影响。
