COMMUNITY LIAISON CORE

社区联络核心（CLC）的目标是通过研究基础设施的发展，支持加州大学戴维斯分校RCMAR的整体使命，该基础设施将支持RCMAR科学家在他们的研究周围认知健康和医疗保健服务之间的差距减少老年人拉丁美洲成年人。CLC将开发一个双向和情境化的模型和策略，使研究人员和参与社区能够快速有效地围绕认知研究实施临床试验，以改善身体和认知功能。CLC核心将通过四个具体目标支持RCMAR使命：1）扩大现有的社区组织和团体网络，作为社区参与研究的资源，减少老年拉丁美洲人的差异，2）创建一个计划，使RCMAR学者促进招聘，保留，翻译和与东道国社区的双向沟通，3）开发，评估，并传播有关技术和战略的信息，以招募和留住老年拉丁美洲人在少数民族老龄化研究，4）传播文化和语言上适当的信息，研究进展有关认知健康和障碍的拉丁美洲人在萨克拉门托和加州的中央谷。我们将通过与由萨克拉门托和中央谷拉丁裔社区组织的领导人组成的RCMAR社区咨询委员会协商来实现这些目标;以及拉丁裔健康咨询委员会，由中央谷社区诊所的执业医生组成，为大量拉丁裔人口提供服务。

The goal of the Community Liaison Core (CLC) is to support the overall mission of the UC Davis RCMAR through the development of a research infrastructure that will support RCMAR scientists in their research around reduction of disparities in cognitive health and healthcare services among older Latino adults. The CLC will develop a bidirectional and contextualized model and strategies that will enable both researchers and participating communities to quickly and effectively implement clinical trials around cognitive research to improve physical and cognitive function. The CLC core will support the RCMAR mission through four Specific Aims: 1) Expand existing networks of community-based organizations and groups as a resource for community-engaged research on reducing disparities for older Latinos, 2) Create a program that will allow RCMAR scholars to facilitate recruitment, retention, translation and bidirectional communication with host communities, 3) Develop, evaluate, and disseminate information on techniques and strategies to recruit and retain older Latinos in minority aging research, 4) Disseminate culturally and linguistically appropriate information on research advances related to cognitive health and impairment to Latinos in Sacramento and California's Central Valley. We will accomplish these aims through consultation with a RCMAR Community Advisory Board comprised of leaders of Sacramento and Central Valley Latino community organizations; and the Latino Health Advisory Board, comprised of practice-based physicians in Central Valley community clinics serving large Latino populations.
