PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): A historical legacy of exploitation and discrimination is one of the numerous factors contributing to health disparities, resulting in mistrust of the health care system, academics, and research. In addition, researcher cultural competency for working with disadvantaged populations may be limited. Filling these gaps, community engaged research strives to increase research engagement and benefit through developing partnerships characterized by mutual respect, understanding, and trust between researcher and community. The research team and the community share common ground, thus understanding and respecting each other's opinions and needs. Consistent with the unifying themes of the UMass Center for Health Equity Intervention Research (CHEIR), we need innotavite and culturally responsive tools to enhance research literacy among disadvantaged populations and to increase researcher understanding of and ability to work with the community. We propose storytelling as such a tool. Storytelling is grounded two overarching CHEIR themes: (1) developing literacy appropriate tools that are tailored by deep cultural structure and (2) focusing on strategies that do not require direct physician intervention. Our Specific Aims are to: (1) Advance the field of community engaged science through the development, dissemination and evaluation of innovative, culturally responsive strategies to increase community research literacy; (2) Establish and promote community engaged approaches in the three CHEIR research projects, thus increasing academic investigators' understanding of the community; and (3) Develop new community engaged research in CHEIR and across UMass through a consultation service for disparities researchers and community partners and by contributing to the Mentoring Circles and curriculum opportunities developed by the Research Training/Education Core. Our work will be informed by an Oversight Board comprised of diverse community members, representatives of community organizations that serve diverse populations, and UMass researchers.

项目总结（见说明）： 剥削和歧视的历史遗产是造成健康差距的众多因素之一，导致对医疗保健系统，学术界和研究的不信任。此外，研究人员的文化能力与弱势群体的工作可能是有限的。为了填补这些空白，社区参与研究努力通过以下方式增加研究参与和收益： 发展研究人员和社区之间相互尊重、理解和信任的伙伴关系。研究团队和社区有共同点，因此理解和尊重彼此的意见和需求。 与麻省大学健康公平干预研究中心（CHEIR）的统一主题相一致，我们需要innotavite和文化上敏感的工具来提高弱势群体的研究素养，并提高研究人员对社区的理解和与社区合作的能力。我们建议把讲故事作为这样一种工具。讲故事基于两个首要的CHEIR主题：（1）开发适合深层文化结构的扫盲工具，（2）专注于不需要医生直接干预的策略。 我们的具体目标是：（1）通过发展、传播和评估创新的、文化上敏感的战略，促进社区参与科学领域，以提高社区研究素养;（2）在三个CHEIR研究项目中建立和促进社区参与方法，从而增加学术研究人员对社区的了解;以及（3）通过为差异研究人员提供咨询服务，在CHEIR和整个马萨诸塞州开展新的社区参与研究 和社区合作伙伴，并通过促进导师圈和研究培训/教育核心开发的课程机会。我们的工作将由一个监督委员会提供信息，该委员会由不同的社区成员、为不同人群服务的社区组织的代表组成， 麻省大学的研究人员
