Vanderbilt Center for Diabetes Translation Research

糖尿病护理目标得到了大规模、多中心随机试验的充分支持。尽管我们在为糖尿病患者做些什么的知识方面取得了进展，但我们仍在努力实现广泛认可的糖尿病护理标准。广泛的研究已经查明了造成这种无法将知识转化为更好成果的障碍。我们建议在范德比尔特建立一个糖尿病转化研究中心，以便在表征和修改限制循证护理转化为糖尿病患者改善结局的变量方面支持一个强大的研究基础。该中心应用程序建立在II型糖尿病翻译研究的巨大和持续成功的基础上，并专门提供与我们的用户群密切相关的支持。为了响应仔细的重新评估，我们已经修改和扩展了我们目前针对此应用程序的服务，以响应不断变化的需求或我们的用户群。然而，我们仍然专注于健康差异研究，并继续与梅哈里医学院保持长期的合作关系。 目标1：建立三个资源核心，为我们的研究人员提供关键服务，以促进他们的研究。第三个核心，卫生信息学和技术，也将作为一个区域核心。 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：提供糖尿病翻译研究的丰富计划 目标4：与Meharry医学院合作，作为合作伙伴的一部分，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.
