Vanderbilt Center for Diabetes Translation Research

糖尿病治疗的目标得到了大规模、多中心随机试验的很好支持。尽管我们对如何治疗糖尿病患者的知识有所进步，但我们仍在努力实现人们普遍同意的糖尿病护理标准。广泛的研究已经确定了导致这种无法将知识转化为改进结果的障碍。我们建议在范德比尔特建立糖尿病转化研究中心，以支持在表征和修改变量方面建立强大的研究基础，这些变量限制了循证护理的转化，以改善糖尿病患者的结果。该中心的应用程序建立在II型糖尿病翻译研究的巨大和持续成功的基础上，并特别提供与我们的用户群密切相关的支持。在经过仔细的重新评估后，我们已经根据不断变化的需求或我们的用户基础，修改和扩展了针对这一应用程序的现有服务。然而，我们仍然专注于健康差距的研究，并继续与梅哈里医学院建立长期的合作关系。 目标1：建立三个资源核心，旨在为我们的研究人员提供关键服务，促进他们的研究。第三个核心，卫生信息和技术，也将作为区域核心。 A.翻译方法核心 B.社区参与核心 C.健康信息和技术核心 目标2：提供试点和可行性方案 目的3：为糖尿病翻译研究提供丰富的程序 目标4：作为分包合同的一部分，与Meharry医学院合作，从而为Meharry提供自己的核心资源，促进当地研究项目的发展。

Goals for diabetes care are well supported by large-scale, multi-centered randomized trials. Despite the advances in our knowledge of what to do for individuals with diabetes, we continue to struggle to achieve widely agreed upon diabetes standards of care. Extensive research has identified barriers that contribute to this inability to translate knowledge into improved outcomes. We propose to establish a Center for Diabetes Translation Research at Vanderbilt so as to support a robust research base in characterizing and modifying variables that have limited the translation of evidence-based care to improved outcomes in individuals with Diabetes. This Center application builds upon considerable and ongoing success in type II diabetes translation research and specifically provides support that is germane to our user base. In response to a careful reevaluation, we have modified and expanded our current services for this application in response to the evolving needs or our user base. We, however, maintain a focus on health disparities research and continue our long standing relationship with Meharry Medical College. Aim 1: To establish three resource cores designed to equip our investigators with key services that facilitate their research. The third core, Health Informatics and Technology, will also serve as a regional core. a. Translation Methods Core b. Community Engagement Core c. Health Information and Technology Core Aim 2: To provide a pilot and feasibility program Aim 3: To provide an enrichment program in Diabetes Translation Research Aim 4: To partner with Meharry Medical College as part of a subcontract thereby providing Meharry with its own core resources for the advancement of local research projects.
