The Centre of Excellence for Public Health (NI) - Phase II (CoEfPHNI/II)

我们的使命是建设公共卫生研究的能力，加强公共卫生政策和实践的证据，并改善人民的健康。我们的目标是确保我们的研究是优秀的，同时扩大其覆盖范围和影响。因此，我们的战略和目标是：(1)扩大和发展我们的工作人员，并使他们具备公共卫生研究的技能；(2)在关键领域建立一个卓越的平台(利用现有数据；健康和疾病的社会原因；以及健康行为)，扩大我们的研究基础设施，并加强对我们的合作伙伴和资助者重要的主题；(3)确保我们的合作伙伴积极参与研究过程；(4)与英国九广铁路公司其他英才中心更紧密地合作，以确保该倡议实现其在该领域的国家和国际领先地位的目标；(5)逐步增加我们的赠款收入，以确保长期的可持续发展。我们的首要任务将是利用北爱尔兰存在的独特机会，利用其独特的综合医疗和社会服务方法以及良好的公民和公共部门结构，研究慢性疾病的社会和生物原因以及英国经历的健康不平等的主要原因。我们将通过以下方式为未来的公共卫生研究留下遗产：(6)调查和跟踪北爱尔兰学童的大样本，研究邻里、学校、家庭和个人对他们的行为、健康和成就的影响；(7)通过调查和跟踪大样本的老年人，找出是什么影响他们的工作能力、退休后的独立性、他们的健康以及他们的社会和经济福祉；(8)利用NHS等公共机构已经收集的数据与其他机构之间的联系，研究如何最好地进行公共卫生研究；以及(9)通过与直接与公众、跨不同公共部门以及与公众本身合作的伙伴关系，展示设计和科学评估新的公共卫生干预措施的好处。通过这样做，我们正在为年轻研究人员创造机会，让他们练习高质量公共卫生研究所需的技能，并为他们建立一系列可信的工作，帮助他们成为独立的研究人员。我们还将展示让来自不同背景的研究人员围绕一个共同目标聚集在一起的附加值，并在学术界和非学术界之间建立桥梁，以确保将新知识转化为能够改善健康的行动。

Our mission is to build capacity for public health research, strengthen the evidence for public health policy and practice and to improve the health of the population. Our aims are to ensure that our research is excellent while extending its reach and impact. Therefore our strategy and objectives are: (1) to expand and develop our staff and equip them with the skills for public health research; (2) to build on a platform of excellence in key areas {exploiting existing data; social causes of health and disease; and health behaviours}, extending our research infrastructure and strengthening themes that are important to our partners and funders; (3) to ensure our partners are actively engaged in the research process; (4) to work more closely with the other UKCRC Centres of Excellence to ensure that the initiative delivers its objectives for national and international leadership in the field; (5) to incrementally increase our grant income to ensure longer term sustainability.Our priority will be to use the unique opportunities that exist in Northern Ireland, with its distinctive approach to integrated health and social services and well connected civic and public sector structures, to research the social and biological causes of chronic disease and the main causes of inequalities in health experienced in the UK. We will leave a legacy for future public health research by: (6) surveying and following up a large sample of school children in Northern Ireland to study the neighbourhood, school, family and individual influences on their behaviour, their health and achievements; (7) by surveying and following up a large sample of older people to find out what influences their ability to work, when they retire, their independence, their health and their social and economic wellbeing; (8) working out how best to undertake public health research by using linkages between data already collected by public bodies like the NHS and others; and (9) by showing the benefits of designing and scientifically evaluating novel public health interventions in partnership those working directly with the public, across different public sectors, and with the public themselves. In so doing we are creating opportunities for young researchers to practice the skills necessary for high quality public health research and for them to establish a body of credible work that will help them become independent researchers. We will also demonstrate the added value of bringing researchers from many different backgrounds together around a common purpose and provide a bridge between the academic and non-academic communities to ensure that new knowledge is translated into actions that can improve health.
