DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The need for the use of innovative methodologies in the behavioral and social sciences has been widely noted. The past two decades have seen continued recognition that more innovative and community-engaged approaches to research and interventions are needed to address the social and environmental determinants of population health and more specifically racial and ethnic inequities in health. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is one such approach to community-engaged research. Increased funding support for CBPR is in keeping with the mission statement of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the research capacity- building priorities delineated in the NIH Health Disparities Strategic Plan 2009-2013, and select research goals of the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR). As the need for and opportunities to expand CBPR increases, so does the need to enhance capacity in innovative methods for researchers conducting behavioral and social sciences research (BSSR) to use this approach. Not only is CBPR an innovative approach in and of itself for many researchers conducting BSSR, there are also several specific innovations within the context of a CBPR approach that are particularly relevant to the mission of NIH. These innovative methods include the integrated use of mixed methods (combining qualitative and quantitative methods), and innovative research designs that complement randomized controlled designs. Although numerous educational materials on CBPR have been developed in recent years, there are few opportunities for both early-career and established researchers to engage in a co-learning process facilitated by experienced academic-community faculty teams. Further, there is a need to promote the diversity of the BSSR workforce, including increasing participation of researchers from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Thus, the overarching goal of the proposed research education program, Community-Based Participatory Research: Enhancing Capacity to Use Innovative Methodologies in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (the Enhance Program), is to enhance knowledge and skills in the use of innovative methodologies in CBPR, in partnership with the communities involved, to examine and address health inequities. The proposed Enhance Program will be carried out by the Detroit Community-Academic Urban Research Center (Detroit URC), a CBPR partnership established in 1995 to understand and address factors that contribute to health inequities in Detroit. The two- pronged approach of the Enhance Program is: 1) to develop, implement, and evaluate an intensive short course in innovative methodologies in CBPR for conducting behavioral and social sciences research; and 2) to enhance and integrate learning from the short course through a series of follow-on educational activities, an applied CBPR project, mentoring, and development of a network of diverse scholars for career development and innovation in BSSR using a CBPR approach to promote health equity. An evaluation will be conducted to assess and enhance program effectiveness. The curriculum and other materials will be widely disseminated.

描述（由申请人提供）：在行为和社会科学中使用创新方法的必要性已被广泛注意。在过去二十年中，人们不断认识到，需要采取更具创新性和社区参与的研究和干预办法，以解决人口健康的社会和环境决定因素，更具体地说，是解决健康方面的种族和族裔不平等问题。基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）就是这样一种社区参与研究的方法。增加对CBPR的资金支持符合美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的使命声明， 差异战略计划2009 - 2013年，并选择行为和社会科学研究办公室（OBSSR）的研究目标。随着扩大CBPR的需求和机会的增加，也需要提高行为和社会科学研究（BSSR）研究人员使用这种方法的创新方法的能力。CBPR不仅是一种创新的方法，而且对于许多进行BSSR的研究人员来说，CBPR方法的背景下也有一些具体的创新，这些创新与NIH的使命特别相关。这些创新方法包括综合使用混合方法（结合定性和定量方法），以及补充随机对照设计的创新研究设计。虽然近年来已经开发了许多关于CBPR的教育材料，但早期职业和成熟的研究人员很少有机会参与由经验丰富的学术社区教师团队促进的共同学习过程。此外，有必要促进白俄罗斯苏维埃社会主义共和国劳动力的多样性，包括增加代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的研究人员的参与。因此，拟议的研究教育计划，以社区为基础的前瞻性研究：提高在行为和社会科学中使用创新方法的能力（增强计划）的总体目标是提高在CBPR中使用创新方法的知识和技能，与相关社区合作，检查和解决卫生不平等问题。拟议的增强计划将由底特律社区学术城市研究中心（底特律URC）进行，该中心是1995年成立的CBPR伙伴关系，旨在了解和解决导致底特律健康不平等的因素。加强计划的双管齐下的方法是：1）开发，实施和评估在CBPR进行行为和社会科学研究的创新方法密集的短期课程; 2）通过一系列后续教育活动，应用CBPR项目，指导，在白俄罗斯苏维埃社会主义共和国建立一个由不同学者组成的职业发展和创新网络，采用CBPR方法促进卫生公平。将进行评估，以评估和提高方案的有效性。课程和其他材料将广为散发。
