Core 3: Outreach

我们的U 54外展核心将促进研究的成功翻译，实施和传播 U 54研究人员的研究结果。我们建立在社区关系、战略和伙伴关系的基础上， 在P20规划期间，我们的P20规划的成功归功于博士的领导。 Christopher Sistrunk，City of Hope综合癌症中心（CoHCCC）和大卫罗博士领导的 加州大学滨江分校（UCR）的U 54差异中心。这些研究人员一起使用了 “反向翻译”，使社区参与到板凳科学家。传统上，共享资源 核心通过提供先进的工具、设施和熟练的教师来支持研究活动， research.然而，在研究团队如何确保翻译方面， 从基础科学水平（“板凳”）到社区，以及从社区到 长凳。因此，翻译研究的双向潜力很少得到充分优化。基础上 我们的P20和U 54 UCR差异中心的成功，我们的目标是我们的UCR-CoHCCC U 54伙伴关系， 优化真正社区伙伴关系的双向潜力。社区需求，如 参与，通常不是由实验室科学家直接获得的，并且可以解释有限的翻译， 研究结果对受癌症影响最严重的社区的影响。 社区成员缺乏对科学数据的获取和认识， 科学家的需求和背景。这种传播不足、缺乏数据访问以及 科学家和社区，限制了科学发现的影响，特别是在种族/族裔少数群体中 社区.我们的U 54外展核心超越了传统的社区参与，以促进严格的双 以证据为基础的定向战略，以缩小差距。目标1将促进社区融合 参与UCR-CoHCCC U 54研究项目/试点和核心。Aim 2将提供技术支持 为社区利益相关者提供援助和培训，以便他们能够参与UCR-CoHCCC U 54赞助的研究 项目和核心。目标3将促进UCR-CoHCCC U 54调查结果的翻译和传播， 解决癌症健康差异连续体中的知识差距。

Our U54 Outreach Core will facilitate the successful translation, implementation, and dissemination of research findings developed by U54 investigators. We build on the community relationships, strategies, and partnership developed during the P20 Planning period. Success of our P20 planning was due to the leadership of Dr. Christopher Sistrunk, City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center (CoHCCC) and Dr. David Lo leader of the U54 Center for Disparities at University of California, Riverside (UCR). Together, these investigators used “reverse translation” to bring community engagement to the bench scientists. Traditionally, shared resource cores support research activities by providing cutting-edge tools, facilities, and well-skilled faculty to advance research. Yet there is often a gap in resources and knowledge on how research teams can ensure the translation of their findings from the basic science level (the “bench”) to the community and, also, from the community to the bench. Thus, the bidirectional potential of translational research has rarely been fully optimized. Building on the success of our P20 and U54 UCR Center for Disparities we aim for our UCR-CoHCCC U54 partnership to optimize the bidirectional potential of true community partnership. Community needs, as articulated by engagement, is typically not directly obtained by bench scientists, and may explain the limited translation of research findings to communities that are most adversely affected by cancer.1-2 Subsequently, there is a marked lack of access and awareness of scientific data by community members and limited knowledge of community need and context by scientists. This inadequate dissemination, lack of data access, and increasing gap between scientists and communities, limits the impact of scientific discoveries, particularly in racial/ethnic minority communities. Our U54 Outreach Core moves beyond traditional community engagement to foster rigorous bi- directional, evidence-based strategies to narrow the divide. Aim 1 will facilitate the integration of the community engagement across UCR-CoHCCC U54 research projects/pilots and cores. Aim 2 will provide technical assistance and training to community stakeholders so they can engage UCR-CoHCCC U54-sponsored research projects and cores. Aim 3 will facilitate the translation and dissemination of UCR-CoHCCC U54 findings to address knowledge gaps across the cancer health disparities continuum.
