 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): From 2000 to 2010, the Pacific Islander population increased 40% - three times faster than the total US population. The fastest growth occurred in the South (66%), with extremely rapid pockets of growth such as Arkansas (252%). Health disparities among Pacific Islanders are striking and apparent in life expectancy, infant mortality, and a wide variety of chronic and infectious diseases. These disparities have been attributed to biological, social, economic, cultural, and historical factors that have resulted in increased risk factors and behaviors; low health literacy; and inequitable access to healthcare. Pacific Islanders are underrepresented in all types of health research, and researchers face challenges engaging Pacific Islander participants such as distrust that stems from historical trauma, limited access to small communities, and cultural and linguistic differences. Limited research has masked health disparities and negatively affected health service planning, resource allocation and policy development. Stakeholders focused on Pacific Islander health make up a small and geographically dispersed group, and there are few opportunities to meet face-to-face- especially in the Southern and Midwestern US. This disconnection limits our opportunities to share knowledge, set priorities, discuss best practices, and establish long-lasting research partnerships. The Center for Pacific Islander Health at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences will host the Gathering for Pacific Islander Health in June 2016. The conference will create an opportunity for 250 participants to share research and best practices; determine critical gaps in current knowledge and priorities for new research; establish best practices and culturally-informed guidelines for research; and develop academic- community partnerships to conduct research. The specific aims are: (1) To increase the knowledge of researchers, healthcare professionals, community stakeholders, and policymakers by disseminating current research specific to Pacific Islanders through keynote speakers, breakout sessions and posters, and the publication of conference outcomes and proceedings; (2) To develop a research agenda by engaging researchers, healthcare professionals, and community stakeholders in consensus sessions to identify and prioritize research needs; (3) To build academic and community capacity to conduct research that incorporates the cultural knowledge, values, and beliefs of Pacific Islanders by: engaging Pacific Islanders in the development of culturally-grounded research methods and protocols; offering training in engaged-research methods; and providing opportunities to develop and strengthen research partnerships and plans for future research. Achieving our aims will propel health equities research forward which will lead to quicker implementation of evidence-based decisions and practices that increase health equity and improve Pacific Islanders' health and well-being; in doing so, the conference advances the NIMHD mission of "leading scientific research to improve minority health and eliminate health disparities."

 从2000年到2010年，太平洋岛民的人口增长了40%，比美国总人口快三倍。增长最快的是南方（66%），增长速度极快的是阿肯色州（252%）。太平洋岛民的健康差距在预期寿命、婴儿死亡率、 以及各种慢性病和传染病。这些差异归因于导致风险增加的生物、社会、经济、文化和历史因素 因素和行为;健康素养低;以及获得医疗保健的不公平。太平洋岛民在所有类型的健康研究中的代表性不足，研究人员面临着吸引太平洋岛民参与者的挑战，例如源于历史创伤的不信任，进入小社区的机会有限，以及文化和语言差异。有限的研究掩盖了保健方面的差距，对保健服务规划、资源分配和政策制定产生了不利影响。关注太平洋岛民健康的利益相关者组成了一个地理上分散的小群体，很少有机会面对面交流-特别是在美国南部和中西部。这种脱节限制了我们分享知识、确定优先事项、讨论最佳实践和建立长期研究伙伴关系的机会。 阿肯色州医学科学大学太平洋岛民健康中心将于2016年6月举办太平洋岛民健康聚会。会议将为250名与会者创造一个机会，分享研究和最佳实践;确定当前知识的关键差距和新研究的优先事项;建立最佳实践和文化知情的研究指导方针;并发展学术界合作伙伴关系进行研究。具体目标是：（1）通过主旨发言人、分组会议和海报以及出版会议成果和会议记录，传播针对太平洋岛民的最新研究，增加研究人员、保健专业人员、社区利益攸关方和决策者的知识;（2）通过吸引研究人员、医疗保健专业人员，（3）建立学术和社区能力，开展融合太平洋岛民文化知识、价值观和信仰的研究，具体做法是：使太平洋岛屿居民参与制定基于文化的研究方法和协议;提供非传统研究方法方面的培训;并提供机会发展和加强研究伙伴关系和未来研究计划。实现我们的目标将推动健康公平研究向前发展，这将导致更快地实施以证据为基础的决定和做法，增加健康公平，改善太平洋岛民的健康和福祉;在这样做的过程中，会议推进了NIMHD的使命“领先的科学研究，以改善少数民族的健康和消除健康差距。"
