Dissemination and Outreach Core

摘要 耶鲁医学院拟议的ACE传播和外联核心的目标包括 传播研究知识和信息，并提供持续的教育和 在地方/区域和国家/国际层面向教育工作者、医疗保健专业人员、 科学界和患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的家庭。另外，这个核心 将建立和促进调查人员和受ASD影响的个人之间的双向沟通 在社区里。核心的关键是建立包括学生、博士后研究员、 以及拟议项目的早期调查人员，并让初级和高级研究人员参与 自闭症领域的新手以及来自代表性不足的种族/民族群体的调查人员和 弱势群体背景。 传播和外联核心将利用大量资源，通过 一系列活动、活动和继续教育课程，目标是提供基于研究的 提供给学生、家庭和研究人员的信息，特别是那些ASD领域的新手。我们将提供 为三个受众量身定做的会议：(1)儿科医生和早期教育工作者，(2)当地科学工作者 社区包括学生和青年研究人员，以及(3)自闭症患者的家庭。此外，这一点 CORE将传播专业和非专业出版物、基于网络的材料和正在进行的研究更新 由ACE调查人员针对专业人员、科学界和普通公众，在地方、国家和 国际水平。通过这个核心，我们还将促进调查人员之间的双向沟通 以及社区中受ASD影响的个人。家长顾问公司将在加强 调查人员和研究参与者之间的伙伴关系，充当儿童的其他父母的联络人 与ASD一起讨论问题，并向ACE调查人员提供反馈。社区合作者将 协助我们宣传我们的传播论坛和ACE的参与机会。与正在进行的对话 这两组家长和社区合作伙伴都将为改善招聘和留住 ACE研究和未来研究的参与者，以及增加对#年传播活动的了解 社区。这一目标建立在我们家庭和调查人员之间互动的长期传统上，即 旨在加强长期关系和研究参与体验的质量。也是 延续中纪委长期以来培养新型人才的做法，提出具体机制，包括 学生，博士后研究员，早期研究人员，以及来自ASD和 来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体和弱势背景。这些目标将得到解决 通过创建新的讲座、座谈会、导师计划和重要回合，以及利用耶鲁大学 医学院已建立的培训计划和新的多样性倡议。

Summary The objectives of the Yale School of Medicine’s proposed ACE Dissemination and Outreach Core include dissemination of research knowledge and information as well as provision of ongoing educational and awareness activities at local/regional and national/international levels to educators, medical care professionals, the scientific community, and families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In addition, this Core will establish and promote bidirectional communication between investigators and individuals affected by ASD in the community. Critical to the core is the creation of mechanisms to include students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-stage investigators in the Projects proposed, and to involve junior and senior researchers who are new to the field of autism as well as investigators from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and disadvantaged backgrounds. The Dissemination and Outreach Core will utilize numerous resources to reach target audiences through a range of activities, events, and continuing educational courses with the goal of providing research-based information to students, families, and researchers, especially those new to the field of ASD. We shall provide conferences tailored to three audiences: (1) pediatricians and early educators, (2) the local scientific community including students and young investigators, and (3) families of individuals with ASD. In addition, this Core will disseminate professional and lay publications, web-based materials, and ongoing research updates by ACE investigators for professionals, the scientific community, and the general public, at local, national, and international levels. Through this Core, we will also foster bidirectional communication between investigators and individuals affected by ASD in the community. Parent Consultants will play a central role in enhancing the partnership between investigators and research participants by serving as liaisons to other parents of children with ASD, discussing concerns, and providing feedback to ACE Investigators. Community Collaborators will assist us in publicizing our dissemination forums and ACE participation opportunities. Ongoing dialogue with both sets of Parent and Community partners will lay the foundation for improved recruitment and retention of participants for the ACE studies and future research, as well as increase uptake of dissemination activities in the community. This objective builds on our long tradition of interaction between families and investigators that serves to enhance long-term relationships and the quality of the research participation experience. Also continuing the CSC’s longstanding practice of fostering new talent, we propose specific mechanisms to include students, post-doctoral fellows, early-stage investigators, and researchers from outside the field of ASD and from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and disadvantaged backgrounds. These goals will be addressed by creating new lectures, symposia, mentorship programs, and Grand Rounds, as well as tapping into Yale School of Medicine’s established training programs and new Diversity Initiatives.
