Vanderbilt Center for Diabetes Translation Research

糖尿病护理的目标得到了大规模、多中心随机试验的良好支持。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广泛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善结果的障碍。我们建议在Vanderbilt建立一个糖尿病转化研究中心，以支持一个强大的研究基础，以描述和修改限制循证护理转化为糖尿病患者改善结果的变量。该中心的应用程序建立在II型糖尿病翻译研究的相当大的和持续的成功之上，并特别提供了与我们的用户群相关的支持。经过仔细的重新评估，我们修改并扩展了该应用程序的当前服务，以响应不断变化的需求或我们的用户群。然而，我们将继续关注健康差异研究，并继续与梅哈里医学院保持长期合作关系。

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.
