Research Core

摘要-研究核心 拟议的NIMHD综合卓越中心的研究核心（RC） (P60)将提供一个创新的，协作的，灵活的研究基础设施，以满足 研究健康的研究人员和社区成员的严格科学要求 土著社区的不平等。基础设施将为中心提供支持 研究设计，数据收集方法，测量，统计方法，社区伙伴关系和道德。我们的RC研究人员来自不同的学科，包括社会工作，社会学，心理学，人类学，医学，公共卫生和历史。 我们包括一个传统的研究方法部门和三个研究项目，通常在P60中心的应用程序中发现。然而，在这些单位是必不可少的科学和土著社区的这些发现转化为下一代令人兴奋的土著健康研究，干预措施和政策制定的独特功能。研究核心的主要目标是（1）促进重点研究议程，研究AIAN人群中的健康，健康差异和健康风险行为的历史，文化和社会决定因素;（2）为中心项目提供协作基础设施支持。作为实现我们目标的一种手段，区域委员会有四个不同的目标。具体目标是： (1)与IWRI的研究人员合作进行项目规划、研究设计和数据分析;（2）启动研究项目，检查中心概念模型的不同方面;（3）建立合作机构，促进更多的学术和社区研究活动;（4） 为研究人员提供基础设施，以整合基于社区的原则 参与式研究（CBPR）在他们的项目中。

ABSTRACT- Research Core The Research Core (RC) for the proposed NIMHD Comprehensive Center of Excellence (P60) will provide an innovative, collaborative, and nimble research infrastructure to meet the rigorous scientific demands of researchers and community members who study health inequalities in indigenous communities. The infrastructure will provide support to center researchers on research designs, data collection methods, measurement, statistical methods, community partnerships, and ethics. Our RC researchers come from diverse disciplines including social work, sociology, psychology, anthropology, medicine, public health, and history. We include a conventional research methods division and three research projects usually found in P60 center applications. However, within these units are unique features that are essential to transition the science and the translation of these findings for indigenous communities into the next exciting generation of indigenous health research, interventions, and policy making. The Research Core main goals are to (1) foster a focused research agenda that examines how historical, cultural and social determinants of health, health disparities, and health risk behaviors among AIAN populations and (2) provide a collaborative infrastructure support for Center projects. As a means to achieve our goals, the RC has four distinct aims. Specific aims are to: (1) Work with IWRI researchers on project planning, research designs, and data analyses; (2) Initiate research projects that examine different facets of the Center's conceptual model; (3)Establish collaboratories to foster more academic and community research activities; (4) Provide researchers with the infrastructure to integrate the principles of community based participatory research (CBPR) in their projects.
