RESEARCH CORE

研究核心概述 心血管疾病和糖尿病研究核心的目标是进行严格的基于社区的研究， 将主要导致减少弱势群体的差距，但同时提供 改善对社区的服务，回答重要的科学问题，提供培训环境， 年轻的少数民族研究人员在心血管疾病的差距，并建立在社区的研究能力。主要 研究核心的研究项目是解决拉丁裔队列的心血管健康差异;其 一项主要研究计划提出了一项随机临床试验，评估2种文化上合适的 国家胆固醇教育计划（NCEP）指南的应用方法。该研究将采用 每个合作机构的专业知识，以最大限度地为拉丁美洲社区的优势。 SYHC（社区健康中心，其研究中心专注于健康差异 合作），SDSL）（研究密集型行为科学中心）和UCSD（研究密集型 临床机构）将建立现有的关系，利用专业知识进行拟议的研究， 流行病学、行为学和遗传学研究，努力促进协调、全面、 跨学科和有重点的研究工作，以改善护理提供给贫困的拉丁美洲人的风险， 和CVD。这项研究将建立一个成年拉丁美洲人的队列，他们是 SYHC，将进行横断面研究和干预。 除了监督这一主要研究项目外，研究核心还将协调试点 项目，并为中心的所有研究相关活动提供一般监督和指导。琳达医生 加洛，行为和社区健康研究中心的联合主任，将担任校长 研究中心的研究员，并将监督在 SYHC，她在心血管差异研究方面的专业知识。加洛博士将协调活动， 加强SYHC拉丁裔研究和健康促进中心的研究基础设施， 大学社区合作伙伴已经开展的研究工作。他将与博士合作。 Allison（UCSD PI）和Quintana博士（SYHC PI）执行所有研究活动。

Overview of the Research Core The goal of this CVD and diabetes Research Core is to conduct rigorous community-based research that will primarily lead to reduction in disparities for disadvantaged populations but at the same time provide improved service to the community, answer important scientific questions, provide a setting for training of young minority investigators in CVD disparities, and build research capacity in the community. The main research project of the Research Core is addresses cardiovascular health disparities in a Latino cohort; its main research plan proposes a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of 2 culturally appropriate methods for applying the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines. The study will employ the expertise of each collaborating institution to maximize the benefits for the predominately Latino community. The SYHC (the Community Health Center with a research center focused on the health disparities collaborative), SDSL) (the research intensive behavioral science center), and UCSD (the research intensive clinical facility) will build on existing relationships to conduct the proposed study, using expertise in epidemiologic, behavioral and genetic research in an effort to promote a coordinated, comprehensive, interdisciplinary and focused research effort to improve the care being delivered to indigent Latinos at-risk for and with CVD. This research study will establish a cohort of adult Latinos who are registered patients of the SYHC, where cross-sectional studies and interventions will be carried out. In addition to overseeing this main research project, the Research Core will also coordinate the pilot projects and provide general oversight and guidance for all research-related activities of the Center. Dr. Linda Gallo, Co-Director of the Center for Behavioral and Community Health Studies, will serve as Principal Investigator for the Research Core, and will oversee the implementation of the main research project at the SYHC, lending her expertise in cardiovascular disparities research. Dr. Gallo will coordinate activities to strengthen the research infrastructure at the SYHC Center for Latino Research and Health Promotion, blending the research efforts already taking place by the university community partners. She will collaborate with Dr. Allison (PI at UCSD) and Dr. Quintana (PI at SYHC) to implement all research activities.
