Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research (CAIANDTR)

中心概况：项目总结 美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）有患糖尿病的巨大风险。他们的糖尿病发病率 通常比其他公民更大;他们遭受严重的，使人衰弱的并发症;不成比例的份额 少数糖尿病患者消耗了他们稀缺的卫生保健资源。越来越 有关循证政策、计划和实践的知识体系有望纠正这些差异。 美国印第安人和阿拉斯加土著糖尿病翻译研究中心：1）提供一个管理 促进糖尿病相关转化研究能力的结构。其试点和可行性方案 支持小型创新项目; 2）提供相关培训、技术援助和咨询， 研究人员和主要利益相关者通过丰富计划; 2）维持和扩大研究基地 受资助的教师，其研究直接针对糖尿病的预防和治疗，或转化为 性质具有明确的应用潜力，糖尿病转化研究; 3）支持转化研究 核心为干预措施的文化适应、健康素养、健康技术， 传播和实施科学，护理/可持续性的成本，以及定性研究方法， 推进一个文化接地，多学科的问题为导向的翻译研究计划的主要 科学和计划的重要性土著人民; 4）作为国家资源核心，为其他 与AI/AN社区一起进行糖尿病转化研究的调查人员和项目;以及5）研究人员 社区外展和参与核心，促进经验教训的传播，并确保 关键利益攸关方参与向这一特殊群体推广这些方案。

Center Overview: Project Summary American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are at substantial risk of diabetes. They exhibit rates of diabetes often greater than other citizens; they suffer serious, debilitating complications thereof; a disproportionate share of their scarce health care resources are consumed by a small percentage of patients with diabetes. A growing body of knowledge about evidence-based policies, programs and practices promises to redress these disparities. The Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research: 1) Provides an administrative structure that promotes diabetes-related translational research capacity. Its Pilot and Feasibility Program supports small-scale, innovative projects; 2) Offers related training, technical assistance, and consultation to investigators and key stakeholders through an Enrichment Program; 2) Sustains and expands a Research Base of funded faculty whose research either directly targets diabetes prevention and treatment or is translational in nature with clear potential for application to diabetes translational research; 3) Supports a Translational Research Core that offers resources in the cultural adaptation of interventions, health literacy, health technologies, dissemination and implementation science, cost of care/ sustainability, and qualitative research methods to advance a culturally grounded, multidisciplinary problem-oriented translational research program of major scientific and programmatic importance to Native people; 4) Serves as a National Resource Core for other investigators and programs pursuing diabetes translational research with AI/AN communities; and 5) Establishes a Community Outreach and Engagement Core that promotes the dissemination of lessons learned and ensures key stakeholder participation in their extension to this special population.
