SUMMARY– OVERALL The central theme of the Drexel Climate Change and Urban Health Research Center (CCUH) is the creation and dissemination/translation of evidence that will support urban policies to address the health and equity impacts of climate change in cities. Urban areas are key contributors to climate change and are home to large inequities, but also present many opportunities for action. Urbanization is occurring more rapidly in lower-and middle-income countries, and climate change is spurring migration across countries. Research on the health impacts of climate change must span urban communities across countries, yet little work has focused on intra- urban inequities or conducted comparative analyses of these inequities across heterogeneous cities. Based on our established, productive collaboration across 13 institutions in the US and Latin America, we aim to build institutional capacity at Drexel and at three partner sites included in this formative Center (University of California Berkeley, University of São Paulo in Brazil, and INCAP in Guatemala) to support action-oriented research on the impacts of climate change on population health and health inequities in diverse cities across the Americas. Specifically, we will leverage existing strengths at Drexel in urban health and health equity, our research network on urban health in Latin America (the Salud Urbana en America Latina or SALURBAL study) and our work with US partners including US Big Cities Health Coalition. This robust, existing infrastructure will enable us to expand our urban health and health equity work to encompass the generation of solutions- oriented evidence on the impacts of climate change on health in cities and translate that evidence into actions in partnership with communities and policymakers. Our aims are: (1) to create an organizational structure that promotes collaborative and inclusive transdisciplinary and policy-relevant research on climate change and health across cities of the Americas (Administrative Core); (2) to support capacity-strengthening for research on climate change health impacts in urban settings through structured training activities, funding pilot grants and research methods translation and support (Research Capacity Building Core); (2) to demonstrate the informativeness and policy-relevance of multi-country research on climate change and health equity through a research project on intra-urban inequities engaging researchers from the US and Latin America (Research Project); and (4) to increase capacity for policy translation and policy impact through the engagement of policy makers and impacted urban communities in order to inform future research questions, as well as dissemination and translation efforts to maximize impact (Community Engagement Core.) Through these aims we will support the creation of the infrastructure, research and engagement capacity, and partnerships needed to expand policy relevant research on the impacts of climate change on health and health equity in urban areas. Our ultimate goal is to become a center of excellence on climate change and urban health with a strong equity focus, global reach and meaningful engagement of policy makers and communities to maximize policy impact.

摘要-总体 德雷克塞尔气候变化和城市健康研究中心（CCUH）的中心主题是创造 以及传播/翻译支持城市政策的证据， 气候变化对城市的影响。城市地区是气候变化的主要贡献者， 不平等，但也提供了许多行动机会。城市化在中低收入国家的发展速度更快， 中等收入国家，气候变化正在刺激各国之间的移徙。健康研究 气候变化的影响必须跨越各国的城市社区，但很少有工作集中在城市内部， 城市不公平现象或对不同城市的不公平现象进行比较分析。基于 我们在美国和拉丁美洲的13个机构建立了富有成效的合作，我们的目标是建立 在德雷克塞尔大学和三个伙伴网站包括在这个形成中心的机构能力（大学 加州伯克利分校、巴西圣保罗大学和危地马拉INCAP）支持以行动为导向 研究气候变化对全球不同城市人口健康和健康不平等的影响 美洲。具体而言，我们将利用德雷克塞尔在城市健康和健康公平方面的现有优势， 拉丁美洲城市卫生研究网络（拉丁美洲城市卫生研究） 以及我们与包括美国大城市健康联盟在内的美国合作伙伴的合作。这一强大的现有基础设施将 使我们能够扩大我们的城市健康和健康公平工作，以包括产生解决方案- 以证据为导向，说明气候变化对城市健康的影响，并将证据转化为行动 与社区和决策者合作。我们的目标是：（1）建立一个组织结构， 促进关于气候变化的合作性和包容性的跨学科和政策相关研究， （2）支持加强研究能力 通过结构化培训活动，资助试点赠款， 和研究方法的翻译和支持（研究能力建设核心）;（2）展示 气候变化和卫生公平问题多国研究的信息量和政策相关性， 美国和拉丁美洲的研究人员参与的关于城市内部不平等的研究项目（研究 （4）通过政策参与，提高政策转化和政策影响的能力 制造商和受影响的城市社区，以告知未来的研究问题，以及传播 和翻译工作，以最大限度地发挥影响（社区参与核心。）通过这些目标，我们将支持 建立基础设施，研究和参与能力，以及扩大所需的伙伴关系 关于气候变化对城市地区健康和健康公平影响的政策相关研究。我们 最终目标是成为气候变化和城市健康的卓越中心，具有强大的公平性 政策制定者和社区的重点、全球影响力和有意义的参与，以最大限度地扩大政策影响。
