Montana IDeA Community Engagement Core

美国印第安人和农村健康公平中心（CAIRHE）通过以下方式实现其研究使命： 多学科社区参与式研究（CBPR），考虑到并符合 社区的文化信仰。社区参与研究的每个阶段，从设计到 传播，导致最有效的调查和干预，因为最大的知识， 我们边境地区的健康差距存在于社区本身。自成立以来 中心依靠强大的社区参与来建立有效的社区-研究者伙伴关系 在蒙大拿州，包括七个美国印第安人保留地和许多孤立的农村地区，并训练 研究人员在CBPR的最佳实践。CAIRHE发展了一个不断壮大的社区网络， 医疗服务提供者、公共卫生机构和其他利益相关者共同努力，改善健康状况 为蒙大拿州最危险的人群。在COBRE第一阶段，CAIRHE和其他两个机构 MSU，Montana INBRE和American Indian/Alaska Native Clinical的发展奖（IDEA）计划 和转化研究计划（CTRP），形成了创新的蒙大拿州IDEA社区参与 核心（CEC）。通过共享资源和跨计划协作，CEC消除了冗余 在三个IDEA计划中，它实现了成本效益和更认真的管理， 纳税人资源最重要的是，一个有效的核心是中心总体战略不可或缺的一部分， 旨在成为多学科，以社区为基础的健康公平研究的国家和地区领导者，从而 改善落基山脉西部农村和原住民社区的健康状况。持续整个 第二阶段，CAIRHE将通过其对社区研究的支持，为该核心的成功做出贡献 协会，社区咨询委员会的发展，教师培训和指导的资金，以及 维护和管理核心的社区参与和研究移动的实验室。具体地说， 核心将继续在全州建立多部门社区调查员伙伴关系。将加大 社区能力，通过社区促进建立CBPR伙伴关系和开展健康公平研究， 训练核心还将通过以下方式增加对CBPR，社区需求和历史创伤的理解 在社区研究协会工作人员共享的专门知识领域进行调查员培训。该芯体的 移动的实验室的使用将增加研究伙伴关系，并在偏远社区的理解，在一个 美国最偏远的州核心将增加CAIRHE在全州范围内的影响力， 通过研究传播。在中心社区和利益相关者的充分合作下， 核心将帮助CAIRHE分享其成功的研究成果和干预措施， 在面临类似卫生公平挑战的其他社区复制。

The Center for American Indian and Rural Health Equity (CAIRHE) achieves its research mission through multidisciplinary community-based participatory research (CBPR) that is considerate of and consistent with communities' cultural beliefs. Community involvement in every phase of the research, from design to dissemination, results in the most effective inquiry and intervention because the greatest knowledge of the health disparities plaguing our frontier region resides in the communities themselves. Since its inception, the Center has relied upon strong community engagement to build effective community-investigator partnerships across Montana, including seven American Indian reservations and many isolated rural areas, and to train investigators in best practices of CBPR. CAIRHE has developed a growing network of communities, health care providers, public health agencies, and other stakeholders working together to improve health outcomes for Montana's most at-risk populations. During COBRE Phase I, CAIRHE and two other Institutional Development Award (IDeA) programs at MSU, Montana INBRE and the American Indian/Alaska Native Clinical and Translational Research Program (CTRP), formed the innovative Montana IDeA Community Engagement Core (CEC). Through shared resources and cross-program collaboration, the CEC eliminates redundancy among the three IDeA programs, and it enables cost efficiencies and more conscientious stewardship of taxpayer resources. Most importantly, an effective Core is an indispensable part of the Center's overarching aim to be the state and regional leader in multidisciplinary, community-based health equity research, thereby improving the health of rural and Native communities across the Rocky Mountain West. Continuing throughout Phase II, CAIRHE will contribute to the success of this Core through its support of Community Research Associates, development of Community Advisory Boards, funding of faculty training and mentoring, and maintenance and management of the Core's Community Engagement and Research Mobile Lab. Specifically, the Core will continue to build multisector community-investigator partnerships across the state. It will increase community capacity for CBPR partnerships and health equity research through community facilitation and training. The Core also will increase understanding of CBPR, community needs, and historic trauma through investigator training in areas of expertise shared by its staff of Community Research Associates. The Core's use of the Mobile Lab will increase research partnerships and understanding in remote communities in one of the most rural states in America. And the Core will increase CAIRHE's impact statewide and across the country through research dissemination. With the full cooperation of the Center's community and stakeholder partners, the Core will help CAIRHE share its successful research outcomes and interventions so they can be replicated in other communities facing similar health equity challenges.
