Project Summary Our proposed project, Training Promotoras/Community Health Workers using Culturally and Linguistically- Appropriate Research Best Practices, has the objective to develop, demonstrate, and disseminate culturally and linguistically sensitive training to improve the translation of clinical research in underserved communities. This project is a partnership between CTSAs at the University of Michigan, University of Florida, and University of California-Davis, three CTSA hubs with a network of community partners in diverse areas with large numbers of Hispanic and African American individuals. Community health workers (CHWs), embedded leaders within underserved communities, have an important role supporting research at community sites and are increasingly being incorporated into research teams for their ability to reduce barriers in translation, particularly in regards to research on health disparities. However, problems with CHWs understanding and application of research best practices exist. Training for CHWs in research best practices is variable, not tailored to the research role of CHWs, and not designed to train individuals who work in culturally or linguistically diverse communities. These training deficits hamper formation of integrated teams of researchers and community partners and miss the opportunity to create research advocates at community sites. Our foundational work involved the development of the first-of-its-kind, competency-based online training in Social and Behavioral Research Best Practices for clinical research professionals, currently being disseminated nationally. A critical need still exists to adapt and broaden training of the CHW workforce to reduce barriers in research translation in underserved communities. To address this need, we propose development of a culturally and linguistically sensitive online research best practices course to train CHW “Champions” and a community-academic partnership model to deliver a mentored, peer-led program at community sites to provide competency-based research best practices education for community partners. Our long-term goal is to train CHWs using a competency-based, culturally and linguistically sensitive training program that includes easily-accessible online training resources available in both English and Spanish for use by research teams and CHWs. Our diverse group of stakeholders including CHWs, promotoras, clinical research professionals, community members, and regional and national leaders in organizations representing CHWs and researchers will ensure representation of many perspectives in all aspects of project development and dissemination. Our specific aims are to 1) develop and evaluate a research best practices online course for CHWs, 2) demonstrate effectiveness of research best practices training for CHWs at community sites, and 3) disseminate the course throughout the CTSA consortium and beyond.

项目摘要 我们提出的项目，培训Promotoras/社区卫生工作者使用文化和语言- 适当的研究最佳实践，其目标是发展，展示和传播文化 和语言敏感的培训，以提高翻译的临床研究在服务不足的社区。 该项目是密歇根大学、佛罗里达大学和密歇根大学的CTSA之间的合作项目。 加州戴维斯，三个CTSA中心与社区合作伙伴在不同领域的网络， 西班牙裔和非洲裔美国人的数量。社区卫生工作者（CHW），嵌入式领导者 在服务不足的社区，有一个重要的作用，支持在社区网站的研究， 越来越多地被纳入研究团队，以减少翻译障碍，特别是 关于健康差异的研究。然而，CHW对 存在最佳研究实践。对社区卫生工作者进行的研究最佳做法培训是可变的，不是针对 CHW的研究作用，而不是旨在培训在文化或语言多样的环境中工作的个人 社区.这些培训不足阻碍了研究人员和社区综合团队的形成 因此，我们无法找到合作伙伴，错过了在社区网站上创建研究倡导者的机会。我们的基础工作 参与开发了第一个基于能力的社会和行为在线培训， 临床研究专业人员的研究最佳实践，目前正在全国范围内传播。一个关键 仍然需要调整和扩大CHW劳动力的培训，以减少研究翻译中的障碍 in underserved欠发达communities社区.为了满足这一需求，我们建议在文化和语言上建立一个 敏感的在线研究最佳实践课程，以培训CHW“冠军”和社区学术 合作伙伴关系模式，在社区站点提供指导性的、同行主导的计划， 为社区合作伙伴开展研究最佳做法教育。我们的长期目标是使用 基于能力的，文化和语言敏感的培训计划，包括易于访问的在线 提供英文和西班牙文的培训资源，供研究小组和社区卫生工作者使用。我们多元化 一组利益相关者，包括CHW、发起人、临床研究专业人员、社区成员，以及 代表社区卫生工作者和研究人员的组织中的区域和国家领导人将确保代表性 在项目开发和传播的各个方面都有许多观点。我们的具体目标是：（1） 为社区卫生工作者开发和评估研究最佳实践在线课程，2）证明 研究社区卫生工作者的最佳做法培训，以及3）在整个社区传播课程， CTSA联盟和超越。
