National Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for African American Men's Health

描述（由申请人提供）：由明尼苏达大学（UMN）与阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）合作提议的非裔美国人男性健康国家跨学科合作中心（NTCC）旨在通过区域方法解决影响全国范围内非裔美国人男性健康状况的差异。该项目将针对非裔美国人在整个生命过程中意外伤害和与暴力有关的伤害和慢性病方面的差异。拟议的NTCC建立在现有的国家联盟-加强少数民族参与临床试验（EMPaCT）的框架上，并将利用五大EMPaCT中心的现有基础设施：UMN（中西部），UAB（东南部），约翰霍普金斯大学（东部），MD安德森癌症中心（西南）和加州大学戴维斯分校（西部）。目标是制定、实施和评估干预措施，通过研究、推广和培训来改善非裔美国人的健康。这一目标将通过与我们的全国支持者，美国国家浸信会公约基金会，国家橄榄球联盟和美国100名黑人男子公司的广泛伙伴关系和重要合作来实现。为实现这一目标，我们将具体实施以下几个目标。进行为期一年的计划和评估阶段。目标2。在非裔美国男性不同健康结果的核心领域制定、实施和评估一项合作研究计划：意外伤害和暴力相关伤害、心血管疾病、癌症和中风；目标3。建立四个核心（行政、合作与伙伴关系、研究和干预措施的实施/推广），以支持拟议的和未来的研究活动；目标4。与国家社区伙伴合作，并与EMPaCT联盟成员共同制定、实施和评估试点项目方案；目标5。通过使用传统和社会媒体的综合方法传播研究成果并促进研究吸收，以便使各级利益攸关方参与进来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for African American Men's Health (NTCC), proposed by the University of Minnesota (UMN) in partnership with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), seeks to address, through a regional approach, health disparities in conditions affecting African American men on a national scope. The program will target disparities in unintentional and violence-related injuries and chronic diseases in African American men across the life course of this population. The proposed NTCC is built upon the framework of an existing national consortium - the Enhancing Minority Participation in Clinical Trials (EMPaCT) - and will utilize the established infrastructure of the five major EMPaCT centers: UMN (Midwest), UAB (Southeast), Johns Hopkins University (East), MD Anderson Cancer Center (Southwest), and the University of California, Davis (West).The goal is to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions that will improve African American men's health through research, outreach, and training. This goal will be pursued through the broad partnership and significant collaboration with our national supporters, the National Baptist Convention Foundation USA, Inc. , the National Football League , and 100 Black Men of America, Inc. To achieve our goal, we will implement the following specific aims: Aim 1. Conduct a one-year planning and assessment phase. Aim 2. Develop, implement, and evaluate a collaborative research program in the core areas of differential health outcomes for African American men: unintentional and violence -related injuries, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and stroke; Aim 3. Establish four cores (Administrative, Collaborations and Partnerships, Research, and Intervention Implementation/Diffusion) to support the proposed and future research activities; Aim 4. Develop, implement, and evaluate a Pilot Project Program in collaboration with national community-based partners and in conjunction with EMPaCT Consortium members;Aim 5. Disseminate research results and promote research uptake through an integrated approach that uses both traditional and social media in order to engage stakeholders at all levels.
