Build and Broaden: The Long-Term Impact of COVID-19 in Hispanic Communities in the Tri-State Area

该项目是一个会议，作为一个论坛，讨论和推进对新冠肺炎大流行对纽约、新泽西和康涅狄格州拉丁裔社区的长期影响的科学认识。 除了COVID-19对拉丁裔社区造成不成比例的健康影响外，疫情还引发了美国各地的经济衰退和教育危机，这也过度影响了三州地区的拉丁裔社区。 在会议上，来自广泛学科的社会和行为科学家，以及来自区域西班牙裔服务机构的学者，分享了他们对社区背景下转型的相互关联的动态的新兴研究，获得医疗保健，以及西班牙裔社区由于大流行的教育成果。从这次会议中获得的知识将有助于决策者和社区领导人深入了解这一流行病对拉丁美洲社区的影响。这次会议扩大了拉丁裔和拉丁裔学者和学者的参与，他们与拉丁裔社区一起教学和研究，以促进对大流行病的健康，经济和教育影响的认识和理解。 该会议的组织机构化的社交网络跨区域西班牙裔服务机构。 会议的主题领域包括（1）健康差距，（2）社区结构，和（3）教育过程。 前三个小组中的每一个都突出了其中一个中心主题，而第二天的小组则侧重于在各个主题领域建立基本联系。 会议有三个传播层次：与学术界分享的特刊，社区组织和决策者参加会议;该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This project is a conference that serves as a forum to discuss and advance scientific understanding of the long-term impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Latino communities in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. In addition to the disproportionate health impacts of COVID-19 on Latino communities, the pandemic has triggered an economic recession and educational privation across the United States that have also excessively affected Latino communities in the Tri-State area. In the conference, social and behavioral scientists from a wide range of disciplines, featuring scholars from regional Hispanic Serving Institutions, share their emerging research on the interconnected dynamics of the transformation in community contexts, access to healthcare, and educational outcomes in Hispanic communities due to the pandemic. The knowledge developed from this conference will help decision makers and community leaders develop an in-depth understanding of the impact of the pandemic on Latino communities. This conference broadens participation by Latina and Latino scholars and scholars that teach and do research with Latino communities in the advancement of knowledge and understanding on health, economic, and educational impacts of the pandemic. The conference is organized to institutionalize social networks across regional Hispanic Serving Institutions. The thematic areas of the conference include (1) health disparities, (2) community structures, and (3) educational processes. Each of the first three panels highlights one of these central themes, while the second-day panel focuses on building foundational connections across the thematic areas. The conference features three levels of dissemination: a special journal issue to be shared with the academic community, the participation of community-based organizations and policymakers in the conference; and a broadcast and digital repository of researcher snapshots and conference proceedings for the broader public.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
