COMMUNITY LIAISON CORE

社区联络核心(CLC)的目标是通过开发研究基础设施来支持加州大学戴维斯分校RCMAR的总体使命，该基础设施将支持RCMAR科学家围绕减少拉美裔老年人在认知健康和医疗服务方面的差异进行研究。CLC将开发一种双向和情境化的模式和策略，使研究人员和参与社区能够围绕认知研究快速有效地实施临床试验，以改善身体和认知功能。CLC核心将通过四个具体目标支持RCMAR使命：1)扩大现有的社区组织和团体网络，将其作为社区参与的缩小拉美裔老年差异研究的资源；2)创建一项计划，使RCMAR学者能够促进招募、保留、翻译和与所在社区的双向沟通；3)开发、评估和传播有关在少数族裔老龄化研究中招募和留住拉美裔老年人口的技术和战略的信息；4)传播与萨克拉门托和加州中央山谷拉美裔认知健康和损害相关的研究进展的文化和语言方面的适当信息。我们将通过与由萨克拉门托和中央山谷拉丁裔社区组织领导人组成的RCMAR社区咨询委员会以及由中央山谷社区诊所的执业医生组成的拉丁裔健康咨询委员会进行协商来实现这些目标。

The goal of the Community Liaison Core (CLC) is to support the overall mission of the UC Davis RCMAR through the development of a research infrastructure that will support RCMAR scientists in their research around reduction of disparities in cognitive health and healthcare services among older Latino adults. The CLC will develop a bidirectional and contextualized model and strategies that will enable both researchers and participating communities to quickly and effectively implement clinical trials around cognitive research to improve physical and cognitive function. The CLC core will support the RCMAR mission through four Specific Aims: 1) Expand existing networks of community-based organizations and groups as a resource for community-engaged research on reducing disparities for older Latinos, 2) Create a program that will allow RCMAR scholars to facilitate recruitment, retention, translation and bidirectional communication with host communities, 3) Develop, evaluate, and disseminate information on techniques and strategies to recruit and retain older Latinos in minority aging research, 4) Disseminate culturally and linguistically appropriate information on research advances related to cognitive health and impairment to Latinos in Sacramento and California's Central Valley. We will accomplish these aims through consultation with a RCMAR Community Advisory Board comprised of leaders of Sacramento and Central Valley Latino community organizations; and the Latino Health Advisory Board, comprised of practice-based physicians in Central Valley community clinics serving large Latino populations.
