RCMI Community Engagement Core

摘要 遵循诚信、伙伴关系和公平的价值观，社区参与核心(CEC)使用 将与其他核心和研究项目互动的社区专业知识和指导的广泛基础 组成RCMI，以实现：(1)确定研究的优先顺序并进行针对社区的研究- 引导健康问题；和(2)迅速传播和实施研究结果，以实现 健康公平。CEC将与社区咨询委员会(CAB)和社区研究密切合作 咨询委员会(CRAB)：(1)评估社区卫生优先事项；(2)指导研究重点和设计；(3) 在社区中支持和维持值得信赖和有贡献的存在；(4)使社区成员能够 成为变革的推动者；以及(5)引导研究成果的应用，以实现有意义的健康- 推动社区倡议。CEC的具体目标是：(1)促进公平、协作和 研究人员与社区成员/利益相关者之间的可持续关系，以实现双 定向“信息交换”，增强研究成果的潜在影响，以实现 卫生公平；(2)在社区内建立和培育信任，以便能够招募和留住 研究中代表性不足的群体；以及(3)通过以下方式加强将研究转化为实践 及时和有针对性地向包括社区合作伙伴在内的主要利益攸关方传播研究成果， 卫生保健组织、政策制定者和科学界。CEC的具体目标将在 通过关键建议进行询问和采取行动，以实现以社区为基础的卫生挑战解决办法1和 通过互动系统框架2，3进行传播和实施。CEC将利用和 扩展现有基础设施和持续的社区合作伙伴关系，作为社区参与的枢纽 休斯顿大学的研究是美国第二大种族多元化的主要研究型大学。

ABSTRACT Governed by the values of integrity, partnership, and equity, the Community Engagement Core (CEC) uses a broad base of community expertise and guidance that will interact with the other Cores and research projects that comprise the RCMI to enable: (1) the prioritization and conduct of research that addresses community- guided health concerns; and (2) the rapid dissemination and implementation of research findings to achieve health equity. The CEC will work closely with a Community Advisory Board (CAB) and Community Research Advisory Board (CRAB) to: (1) assess community health priorities; (2) guide research emphases and design; (3) enable and sustain a trusted and contributory presence in communities; (4) empower community members to be agents of change; and (5) guide the application of research findings toward meaningful and health- promoting community initiatives. CEC Specific Aims are to: (1) Facilitate equitable, collaborative, and sustainable relationships between researchers and community members/stakeholders to enable a bi- directional “exchange of information” that augments the potential impact of research findings for achieving health equity; (2) Build and nurture trust within communities to enable the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in research; and (3) Enhance the translation of research into practice through the timely and tailored dissemination of research findings to key stakeholders including community partners, health care organizations, policymakers, and the scientific community. CEC Specific Aims will be guided in inquiry and action by key recommendations to achieving community-based solutions to health challenges1 and via an Interactive Systems Framework2,3 for dissemination and implementation. The CEC will leverage and expand extant infrastructure and ongoing community partnerships to serve as the hub for community-engaged research at the University of Houston, the second most ethnically diverse major research university in the U.S.
