CENTER FOR AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE DIABETES TRANSLATION RESEARCH

中心概述：项目摘要 美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民(AI/ANS)患有糖尿病的风险很大。他们展示了 糖尿病的发病率通常比其他人高；他们遭受严重的、使人衰弱的并发症 他们稀缺的医疗资源中有不成比例的份额被一小部分 糖尿病患者的百分比。越来越多的关于循证医学的知识 政策、方案和做法承诺纠正这些差距。美国研究中心 印度和阿拉斯加本土糖尿病翻译研究：1)提供行政管理 促进糖尿病相关翻译研究能力的结构。它的试点和可行性 计划支持小规模的创新项目；丰富计划提供相关 向调查人员和主要利益攸关方提供培训、技术援助和咨询；2) 支持和扩大受资助教师的研究基础，这些教师的研究要么直接针对 糖尿病的预防和治疗或具有明显应用潜力的翻译性质 到糖尿病翻译研究；3)支持翻译研究核心，该核心提供 社区参与、干预的文化适应、健康素养、健康方面的资源 技术、传播和实施科学以及可持续发展 多学科、以文化为基础、以问题为导向的专业翻译研究计划 科学和规划的重要性；4)作为其他国家的资源核心 与AI/AN社区进行糖尿病转化研究的研究人员；以及5) 建立促进传播经验教训的健康差距人口核心 在该中心的专业领域中学习到的其他农村、服务不足和代表不足的人 种族/民族人口。

Center Overview: Project Summary American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are at substantial risk of diabetes. They exhibit rates of diabetes often greater than other citizens; they suffer serious, debilitating complications thereof; a disproportionate share of their scarce health care resources are consumed by a small percentage of patients with diabetes. A growing body of knowledge about evidence-based policies, programs and practices promises to redress these disparities. The Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research: 1) Provides an administrative structure that promotes diabetes-related translational research capacity. Its Pilot and Feasibility Program supports small-scale, innovative projects; the Enrichment program offers related training, technical assistance, and consultation to investigators and key stakeholders; 2) Sustains and expands a Research Base of funded faculty whose research either directly targets diabetes prevention and treatment or is translational in nature with clear potential for application to diabetes translational research; 3) Supports a Translational Research Core that offers resources in community engagement, cultural adaptation of intervention, health literacy, health technologies, dissemination and implementation science, and sustainability to advance a multidisciplinary, culturally grounded, problem-oriented translational research program of major scientific and programmatic importance; 4) Serves as a National Resource Core for other investigators pursuing diabetes translational research with AI/AN communities; and 5) Establishes a Health Disparities Population Core that promotes the dissemination of lessons learned in this Center's areas of expertise to other rural, underserved, and under-represent racial/ethnic populations.
