ESRC AMR Research Champion

成功地让社会科学家为对抗抗菌素耐药性（AMR）做出贡献将需要创新和积极的沟通。为了开展与人类和动物的临床、诊断和人口健康需求直接相关的研究，社会科学家需要通过提供易于理解的生物医学、微生物学和流行病学背景信息来实现。同样重要的是，鼓励学术社会科学家，特别是那些没有应用健康研究背景的人，了解AMR工作如何产生在自己领域有价值的原创性和创新性研究。例如，传播预防做法可能是社交网络研究的一个有用工具，在国际上解决抗生素耐药性的尝试将是政策分析的一个很好的范例，多样性、边缘化和贫困问题是新出现的抗生素耐药性社会模式的关键组成部分。我们提出的方法将通过与ESRC密切协商开展的一系列活动来解决宣传和支持需求，包括：在相关社会科学学科的国家和国际会议上举办公开论坛，突出AMR相关研究的潜力和需求;汇编感兴趣的社会科学家数据库，供ESRC未来使用;在社会科学家中倡导AMR研究，包括通过ESRC博士培训中心试行早期职业社会科学家的参与，通过区域大学团体和专业及机构网络访问学术社会科学网络;快速审查与AMR相关的现有社会科学研究范围;由特定学科的专家顾问编写简报文件，总结其领域的相关知识和未来研究的关键问题;开发一个宣传社会科学的网站，包括相关网页的链接、博客文章、兴趣登记表、与AMR相关的关键科学概念网络研讨会的链接以及可下载的资源;公众和患者参与活动，包括使用Twitter和其他渠道来突出当前新闻的社会科学方面;通过访问主要研究机构和召开科学会议，在卫生研究人员和科学家中宣传社会科学;重点联网和提案拟订活动：这些活动将使感兴趣的社会科学家与生物医学、兽医和人口健康科学方面的潜在合作者聚集在一起。这些活动的时间和地点将在与ESRC办公室密切协商后商定。

Successfully engaging social scientists to contribute to combatting Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) will require innovative and proactive communication. To generate research that is directly relevant to clinical, diagnostic and population health needs among both humans and animals, social scientists will need to be enabled by the provision of readily understandable biomedical, microbiological and epidemiological background information. Equally crucial is that academic social scientists, and particularly those without a background in applied health research, are encouraged to appreciate how work on AMR can produce original and innovative research that has value within their own fields. For instance transmission of prevention practices may be a useful vehicle for research on social networks, attempts to tackle AMR internationally would be a good exemplar for policy analysis, and issues of diversity, marginalisation and poverty are key components in the social patterning of emergent AMR. The approach we propose will address both advocacy and support needs through a range of activities to be developed in close consultation with ESRC including:Open forums to highlight the potential and needs for AMR-related research at the national and international conferences of relevant social science disciplines; Compiling a database of interested social scientists for future use by ESRC; AMR research advocacy among social scientists, including piloting engagement of early career social scientists through ESRC Doctoral Training Centres, and accessing academic social science networks through regional university groupings and professional and institutional networks;Rapid review to scope existing social science research relevant to AMR; Production of briefing papers by discipline-specific expert advisors to summarise relevant knowledge in their field and key issues for future research; Development of a website for Championing Social Science with links to relevant webpages, blog postings, forms for registering interest, links to webinars on key scientific concepts relating to AMR, and downloadable resources; Public and patient engagement activities including use of Twitter and other outlets to highlight social science dimensions of current news;Social science advocacy among health researchers and scientists through visits to key research institutions and scientific meetings.Focused networking and proposal development events: These will bring interested social scientists together with potential collaborators in the biomedical, veterinary and population health sciences. The timing and location of these events will be agreed in close consultation with the ESRC office as our activities develop.
