Community Engagement/Outreach Core

社区核心摘要 华盛顿大学的土著健康研究所(IWRI)成功地履行了其使命，通过发展跨学科研究基础设施，并通过基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)与国内和国际主要部落社区和组织建立广泛的伙伴关系，解决美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民(AIAN)的健康问题，消除健康差距。现在是在AIAN健康差距研究中发展和培育社区参与伙伴关系的特别好时机，因为有两个合并的国际社会运动--土著知识开发和社区参与研究。健康差异研究越来越多地在基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)和其他或多或少严格的合作调查形式的框架内进行。国际水资源研究所社区参与和外联中心(CEOC)的教职员工准备与其广泛的部落、国家、区域和地方土著组织和机构网络合作，以完成COEC的任务。CEOC的具体目标是提供基础设施，以：(1)发展社区参与和外联结构、领导作用、参与协议和程序；并向其他英才中心和研究项目提供社区参与专门知识和促进；(2)通过建立机制，通过CBPR共同学习和指导环境，为真实和有意义的参与建立机制，增强现有社区伙伴对目前和未来CEO研究项目教职员工、学生和合作伙伴以及其他COE核心的信任；(3)通过基于网络的信息传输、在线培训、网络研讨会和传播活动，让AIAN社区参与健康和健康差距研究和科学活动；(4)为国际土著卫生知识信息转让和发展协作的国际研究伙伴关系提供机会；和(5)评价CEOC成果和社区伙伴参与，并对参与的伙伴关系进行年度调查和记录。IWRI CEOC的这些目标将：实现重要的NIMHD目标；与国家组织和有影响力的社区社会机构建立新颖、有效的合作伙伴关系，开展原创和创新的尖端研究，从而改善AIAN健康并消除健康差距；以及支持开展以人口为基础的健康促进和生活在美国农村、部落、城市和不同地理区域的阿拉人之间的差异研究。

Community Core Abstract The UW's Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRI) has successfully pursued its mission to address American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) health and eliminate health disparities by developing a transdisciplinary research infrastructure and cultivating extensive partnerships with leading national and international tribal communities and organizations through community based participatory research (CBPR). It is a particularly auspicious time to develop and nurture community engaged partnerships in AIAN health disparities research because of two, merging international Social Movements - In Indigenous Knowledge Development and Community Engaged Research. Health disparities research is increasingly conducted within the framework of Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR), and other more or less rigorous forms of collaborative inquiry. The faculty and staff of the IWRI Center of Excellence Community Engagement and Outreach Core (CEOC) are poised to work with its extensive network of Tribes, national, regional and local Indigenous organizations and institutions to accomplish the missions of the COEC. Specific aims of the CEOC are to provide an infrastructure to: (1) develop the community engagement and outreach structure, leadership roles, engagement protocols and procedures; and provide community engagement expertise and facilitation to the other center of excellence cores and research projects; (2) enhance existing community partner trust in the currently funded and prospective CEO research projects faculty, staff, students and partners, and other COE Cores by building mechanisms for authentic and meaningful participation through a CBPR co-learning and mentorship environment; (3) engage AIAN communities in health and health disparities research and science activities through web-based information transfer, online trainings, webinars, and dissemination activities; (4) provide opportunities for international indigenous health knowledge information transfer and developing collaborative international research partnerships; and (5) evaluate CEOC outcomes and community partner participation, with annual surveys and documentation of engaged partnerships. These IWRI CEOC aims will: accomplish important articulated NIMHD objective; establish novel, effective partnerships with national organizations and influential community social institutions to conduct original and innovative cutting-edge research leading to improvements in AIAN health and the elimination of health disparities; and support development of population-based health promotion and disparities studies among AlANs living in frontier rural, tribal, urban, and different geographical regions of the United States.
