Building Capacity and Infrastructure for Population Health and Health Disparities Research at San Diego State University

 描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的5年捐赠战略计划，题为“建设能力和基础设施，为人口健康和健康差异研究在圣地亚哥州立大学”（SDSU）是由SDSU院长从三个学院（卫生与人类服务;工程和科学），研究机构的董事和教师跨学科团队提交的。该战略计划的使命是为创新和重大转化研究创造基础设施，以实现人口水平的健康变化，减少美国不同种族/民族人口（最显著的是西班牙裔/拉丁裔和移民群体）、性少数群体和低收入人口之间的健康差距。通过创建和维持人口健康和健康差异（PHHD）研究的基础设施，整合了各种健康和人文科学，工程和计算机科学的学科，我们可以更快地将研究成果转化为临床，公共卫生和组织实践的改进， 人口健康。作为西班牙裔服务机构，SDSU的研究人员是西班牙裔/拉丁裔健康研究的国家和国际领导者之一。此外，SDSU在性少数群体和移民健康方面有几个新兴的领导者。目前的基础设施难以支持该机构产生的研究活动量，因此，本战略计划建议加强物理基础设施，教师和学员的能力，以整合数据收集和干预交付技术的最新创新，以及使用大数据来回答一些与美国人口健康和健康差异相关的最紧迫的问题。该战略计划的三个目标是：（1）投资于硬件和软件，以支持转化研究的数据收集和干预交付方面的技术创新，以及使用 大数据，以帮助完善我们如何理解，测量和干预对健康的影响来源;（2）投资于技术和编程人员支持，以开发下一代PHHD研究工具;和（3）投资于教师，博士后研究员，学生，以及组织和社区合作伙伴，在PHHD研究中进行团队科学方法的培训-交叉学科的健康和人文科学（行为科学，流行病学，运动和营养科学，社会工作，心理学，地理），工程和计算机科学。圣地亚哥县的人口多样性可以说代表了美国在未来几年;因此，在SDSU支持人口健康和健康差异研究将支持新的知识和发现，可以推广到全国各地，并可能告知正在进行的挑战停止和减少美国人口内健康差距的差距。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed 5-Year Endowment Strategic Plan entitled `Building Capacity and Infrastructure for Population Health and Health Disparities Research at San Diego State University' (SDSU) is submitted by an interdisciplinary team of SDSU Deans from three colleges (Health and Human Services; Engineering, and Sciences), directors of research institutes, and faculty from across campus. The mission of the Strategic Plan is to create an infrastructure for innovative and significant translational research to achiev population-level health changes and reduce health disparities among racially/ethnically diverse populations (Hispanic/ Latino and immigrant groups most notably), sexual minorities, and lower-income populations in the United States (US). By creating and sustaining an infrastructure for population health and health disparities (PHHD) research that integrates the disciplines of various health and human sciences, engineering and computer sciences, we can more quickly translate research findings to improvements in clinical, public health and organizational practice, and population health. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, SDSU researchers are among the national and international leaders in Hispanic/Latino health research. Additionally, SDSU has several emerging leaders in sexual minority and immigrant health. Current infrastructure struggles to support the amount of research activity generated at the institution, and so this Strategic Plan is proposing to strengthen the physical infrastructure, and faculty member and trainee capability, to integrate the latest innovations in technology for data collection and intervention delivery, as well as the use of big data to answer some of the most pressing questions relevant to population health and health disparities in the US. Three aims of the Strategic Plan are to: (1) invest in the hardware and software to support technological innovations in data collection and intervention delivery for translational research, and the use of big data to help refine how we understand, measure, and intervene on sources of influence on health; (2) invest in technology and programming personnel support to develop the next generation of tools for PHHD research; and (3) invest in faculty, post-doctoral fellows, students, and organizational and community partners by training on a team science approach in PHHD research - intersecting the disciplines of health and human sciences (behavioral science, epidemiology, exercise and nutritional sciences, social work, psychology, geography), engineering, and computer sciences. San Diego County's population diversity arguably represents that of the US in future years; as such, supporting population health and health disparities research at SDSU will be supporting new knowledge and discoveries that can generalize across the nation, and may inform the ongoing challenge of halting and reducing the widening gap in health disparities within the US population.
