Washington University Center for Diabetes Translation Research

位于圣路易斯的华盛顿大学和美国印第安人全国大会结合了他们的资源和专业知识，组织了华盛顿大学糖尿病翻译研究中心(WU-CDTR)。WU-CDTR的目标是通过将循证干预措施转化为不同的社区来消除2型糖尿病患者的差异。为了实现这一目标，WU-CDTR围绕两个相互作用的科学主题进行组织，这两个主题涉及：(1)糖尿病的根本原因和差异，(2)肥胖是导致2型糖尿病的主要因素。为了实现这一目标，我们将把华盛顿大学的研究人员和那些与学术机构有联系的人联系起来(密苏里大学新闻学院)和全国(分布在全国各地的美国印第安人学者)。WU-CDTR调查员的目标和工作反映了DMICC战略规划报告的科学优先事项，该报告阐述了需要做什么翻译研究(例如，卫生传播；政策和经济)，应该如何进行研究(例如，实施科学、基于社区的参与性研究)，以及由谁(例如，跨学科伙伴关系)。WU-CDTR的主要目标是通过四个核心支持跨学科研究人员进行第二类翻译研究：(1)健康传播和健康素养核心，它将推动健康传播科学的研究，以测试解决糖尿病预防和护理中健康差距的战略；(2)健康经济和政策分析核心，将推进经济和政策层面干预措施的研究，以消除糖尿病预防和护理中的差异；(3)糖尿病研究核心，将通过整合现实世界环境，推进实施、传播和维持循证方法的研究，以改善糖尿病预防和护理；(4)与美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民社区的研究伙伴关系核心，这将增加研究人员在美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民(AI/AN)社区从事预防肥胖症和2型糖尿病的转译研究的能力。WU-CDTR的次要目标是：(5)支持旨在吸引和留住年轻跨学科研究人员的试点和可行性计划；(6)支持促进与II型翻译糖尿病研究相关的年轻研究人员的跨学科研究、教育和培训机会的丰富计划；以及(7)提高WUCDTR作为区域和国家翻译糖尿病研究资源的认识。

Washington University in St. Louis and the National Congress of American Indians has combined their resources and expertise in organizing the Washington University Center for Diabetes Translation Research (WU-CDTR). The goal of the WU-CDTR is to eliminate disparities in Type 2 diabetes by translating evidence-based interventions to diverse communities. To achieve this goal, the WU-CDTR is organized around two interacting scientific themes that address: (1) the root causes of diabetes and disparities, and (2) obesity as a major contributing factor to Type 2 diabetes. In accomplishing this goal we will link Washington University researchers and those affiliated with academic institutions regionally (University of Missouri School of Journalism) and nationally (American Indian Scholars located across the country). The goals and work of WU-CDTR investigators reflect scientific priorities of the Strategic Planning Report of the DMICC addressing what translational research needs to be done (e.g. health communication; policy and economics), how it should be done (e.g. implementation science, community based participatory research), and by whom (e.g. transdisciplinary partnerships). The primary aims of the WU-CDTR are to support transdisciplinary investigators conducting type II translation research through four Cores: (1) The Health Communication and Health Literacy Core, which will advance the study of health communication science to test strategies for addressing health disparities in diabetes prevention and care; (2) The Health Economic and Policy Analysis Core, which will advance the study of economic and policy-level interventions to eliminate disparities in diabetes prevention and care; (3) The Dissemination and Implementation in Diabetes Research Core, which will advance the study of implementing, disseminating, and sustaining evidence-based approaches through integration in real world settings to improve diabetes prevention and care; (4) The Research Partnerships with American Indian/Alaska Native Communities Core, which will increase the capacity of researchers to engage in translational research to prevent obesity and Type 2 diabetes in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The secondary aims of the WU-CDTR are to: (5) Support a Pilot and Feasibility Program designed to attract and retain young transdisciplinary investigators; (6) Support an Enrichment Program that promotes transdisciplinary research, education, and training opportunities for young investigators related to type II translation diabetes research; and (7) Enhance the awareness of the WUCDTR as a regional and national resource for translational diabetes research.
