NATIONAL COLLABORATIVE ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY RESEARCH (NCCOR) DATA COORDINATING CENTER

认识到美国儿童肥胖症流行的范围和紧迫性，美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）和疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）于2008年举行了一次会议，讨论启动正式的研究合作，以推进和加速解决国家儿童肥胖症流行的进展。该小组成立了儿童肥胖研究国家合作组织（NCCOR）。 目前，NCCOR成员组织包括NIH、CDC、美国农业部（USDA）和罗伯特·伍德约翰逊基金会（RWJF）。自2009年以来，NCCOR一直是一种持续的合作，其协调中心的职能是：协调伙伴机构不断扩大的活动;通过发展和加强与利益攸关方组织的关系，促进公私伙伴关系;为NCCOR的核定活动提供工具和科学支持，包括项目、工作组、与利益攸关方的沟通;并作为当前和正在进行的关于预防和治疗儿童肥胖症的科学活动的国家科学交流中心，从政策倡议到研究结果。

In recognition of the scope and urgency of the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), held a meeting in 2008 to discuss the initiation of a formal research collaboration to advance and accelerate progress in addressing the nation’s childhood obesity epidemic. The group formed the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR). Currently, the NCCOR member organizations consist of the NIH, CDC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). NCCOR has been an ongoing collaboration since 2009, with a Coordinating Center that has functioned to: coordinate the ever— expanding activities of partner agencies; facilitate public-private partnerships by developing and enhancing relationships with stakeholder organizations; provide instrumental and scientific support for approved NCCOR activities including projects, workgroups, communications with stakeholders; and serving as a state of the science clearinghouse for current and ongoing scientific activities regarding the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity from policy initiatives to research findings.
