CBPR AND HEALTH DISPARITIES CORE

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 该核心的具体目标是开发和支持由蒙大拿部落学院领导的CBPR倡议，与蒙大拿印第安人保留地的部落社区和卫生委员会合作，开发减少美洲土著社区健康差距所需的基础设施和能力。核心方案侧重于解决健康问题的社会决定因素，并与存在健康差距的社区合作。三个相互关联的战略，在符合行政核心的加强健康差距的研究越来越重视，正在使用，以减少蒙大拿州的美洲土著社区的健康差距：资助CBPR研究项目领导人在部落学院;资助大学调查人员和部落学院教师之间的合作CBPR研究项目（包括具有社会和行为健康科学专门知识的人员），以应对部落和农村社区表达的新需求;并帮助在保留地建立能够应对社区健康挑战的网络。 八个研究项目通过核心资助，位于Salish Kootenai学院（SKC），Little Big Horn学院（LBHC），Stone Child学院（SCC），Fort Peck社区学院（FPCC），Blackfeet社区学院（BCC）和Fort Belknap学院（FBC）。 所有研究人员都是INBRE的新手，并一直与INBRE导师（核心联合主任Sara Young和Suzanne Christopher博士以及Ann Bertagnolli博士）合作开展项目。 导师和PI博士艾伦Harmsen经常前往学院会见调查人员及其工作人员，以便更详细地了解每个项目，满足参与项目的关键参与者，回答问题，协助制定研究方案，并提供有关健康科学课程开发的建议。 这些项目都具有独特的地位，可以利用社区资源，重点解决不仅对部落学院而且对部落卫生部门和社区本身都很重要的问题。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The Specific Aim of this core is to develop and support CBPR initiatives led by Montana Tribal Colleges working in collaboration with Tribal communities and health boards on Montana Indian reservations to develop the infrastructure and capacity needed to reduce health disparities in Native American communities. The Core focuses on addressing social determinants of health and working in partnership with the communities that experience health disparities. Three interrelated strategies, in keeping with the Administrative Core's increased emphasis on enhancing health disparities research, are being used to reduce health disparities in Montana's Native American communities: funding CBPR research led by Project Leaders at Tribal Colleges; funding collaborative CBPR research projects among University investigators and Tribal College faculty (including those with expertise in the social and behavioral health sciences) that respond to emerging needs expressed by Tribal and rural communities; and helping to build networks on the Reservations that can address community health challenges. Eight research projects are funded through the Core, located at Salish Kootenai College (SKC), Little Big Horn College (LBHC), Stone Child College (SCC), Fort Peck Community College (FPCC), Blackfeet Community College (BCC), and Fort Belknap College (FBC). All investigators are new to INBRE and have been working collaboratively with INBRE mentors (Core Co-Directors, Sara Young and Dr. Suzanne Christopher, and Dr. Ann Bertagnolli) on their projects. Mentors and PI Dr. Allen Harmsen frequently travel to the colleges to meet with investigators and their staff in order to learn about each project in more detail, meet key players involved in the projects, answer questions, assist in developing research protocols, and provide advice about curriculum development in the health sciences. These projects are all uniquely positioned to draw from community resources and to focus on issues important not only to the Tribal Colleges, but also to Tribal Health Departments and the communities themselves.
