Component B: Coordinating Center for Community Characteristics Associated with Geographic Disparities in Diabetes

项目摘要 了解政策和环境因素在社区糖尿病中的作用， 更好的干预措施，以减少糖尿病的差异，并帮助改善公众的健康： 疾病预防控制中心多地点项目协调中心（CC） 糖尿病和心脏代谢健康的地理差异，我们将贡献这两方面的专业知识 科学的内容和管理，以进一步了解这一点。CC将支持各种活动， 主要目标是促进研究中心之间的合作关系。我们的CC将组织成 三个团队：运营团队、分析团队和信息技术团队，以便最好地 满足研究范围内的需求，每个团队负责人都是CC执行委员会的成员。的CC 执行委员会将每周开会，讨论每个团队的进展情况，并确保CC是 在适当的时间轴内达到其基准。运营团队将负责监督 研究的日常管理;组织和促进指导委员会会议;组织 并为任何小组委员会会议提供便利;规划、组织和便利年度讲习班;以及 实施数据管理和质量控制/质量保证计划。分析小组将工作 与指导委员会一起制定研究范围内的共享假设，并设计和实施 分析以检验共同的假设。此外，分析团队将与每个研究中心合作，以确保 分析质量最高，并提供所需的投入和协助。分析小组将工作 与研究人员一起，通过出版物和演示文稿传播研究结果，并将 与疾病预防控制中心准备和分发实验室可用的数据在研究结束。的 信息技术团队将负责设计、实施和测试研究范围内的 网站和数据库，包括确保数据安全， 传输，并促进基于网络的通信，以丰富合作。信息技术 团队将与分析团队合作，准备和分发临床可用数据。我们的团队已被 在大型流行病学研究数据的设计、管理和分析方面拥有丰富的经验， 多中心临床试验，以及向科学界和非专业界传播研究成果。 我们有成功的多站点合作的历史，并且有能力创造一个环境， 这促进了本研究中的沟通和合作。

Project Summary Understanding the role of policy and environmental factors in diabetes at the community level will allow for better interventions to reduce disparities in diabetes, and help improve the health of the public: as the Coordinating Center (CC) for the CDC's multi-site program Community Characteristics Associated with Geographic Disparities in Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Health, we will contribute the expertise in both scientific content and management to further this understanding. The CC will support a variety of activities, with a primary goal of facilitating a collaborative relationship across the study sites. Our CC will be organized into three teams: the Operations Team, the Analytic Team, and the Information Technology team, in order to best meet the study-wide needs, with each team-leader a member of the CC Executive Committee. The CC Executive Committee will meet weekly to discuss the progress of each team, and to ensure that the CC is meeting its benchmarks on the appropriate timeline. The Operations Team will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day management of the study; organizing and facilitating Steering Committee meetings; organizing and facilitating any subcommittee meetings; planning, organizing and facilitating the annual workshop; and implementing the data management and quality control/quality assurance plan. The Analytic Team will work with the Steering Committee to develop the study-wide shared hypotheses, and to design and implement the analysis to test the shared hypotheses. Further, the Analytic Team will work with each study site to ensure analyses are of the highest quality, and provide input and assistance as needed. The Analytic Team will work with researchers study-wide to disseminate study results through publications and presentations, and will work with the CDC to prepare and distribute publically available data at the conclusion of the research. The Information Technology team will be responsible for designing, implementing and testing the study-wide website and databases, including ensuring data security, implementing smooth and efficient secure data transmissions, and facilitating web-based communications to enrich collaboration. The Information Technology Team will work with the Analytic Team to prepare and distribute the publically available data. Our team has extensive experience in the design, management and analysis of data from large epidemiologic studies and multicenter clinical trials, as well in the dissemination of research results to the scientific and lay communities. We have a history of successful multi-site collaborations, and are well-positioned to create an environment which promotes communications and collaborations in this study.
