Enhancing Research Capacity for Tribal Colleges and Rural Native American Populations Through an Indigenized Approach

摘要：中国科学院Xi学科能力建设 拟议的GLNARCH能力建设核心的独特优势是采用 由原住民环境健康研究（NEHR）网络开发的模型， 由NAPVIII资助。NEHR模式培养部落之间的合作，部落 学院和大学（TCU）以及为本国人服务的主流机构。通过这个 网络，参与者可以通过共享和指导必要的资源来协同工作 来解决部落的健康问题通过这种方式， 在大多数情况下， 资金不足的印度卫生服务（贝米吉）地区，同时也提供额外的机会， 例如专业发展和咨询。在这方面的活动 能力部分将由一个经验丰富、成熟的团队执行， 来自威斯康星州医学院（MCW）、威斯康星州大学系统（UW）、 和五大湖部落间理事会，部落间委员会提供额外支助 密歇根州理事会。这一建议支持和补充了我们的其他全球网络 通过独立可实现的目标进行努力，并产生独特的有价值的影响。这 拟议的能力项目将发展每个中心（TCU和/或部落）的研究能力 社区），并协调这些到一个区域网络（NEHR）。这样做的基础是 在上一个供资周期内建立的关系。

ABSTRACT: GLNARCH XI Capacity Building The unique strength of the proposed GLNARCH Capacity Building Core is the adoption of the model developed by the Native Environmental Health Research (NEHR) network previously funded under NARCH VIII. The NEHR model nurtures collaborations between Tribes, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Native-serving mainstream institutions. Through this network, participants can work collaboratively by sharing, and directing the necessary resources to address pressing tribal health concerns. In this way, the GLNARCH Capacity activities (both proposed here and ongoing) augment and leverage valuable, scarce resources in the most underfunded Indian Health Service (Bemidji) region, while also offering additional opportunities, such as professional development and consultation, to all participants. The activities in this Capacity Component will be executed by an experienced, established team with institutional support from the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), University of Wisconsin System (UW), and Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council (GLITC), with additional support from the Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan (ITCMI). This proposal supports and complements our other GLNARCH efforts via independently achievable aims with their own distinct valuable impacts. This proposed Capacity Project will develop research capacity at each center (TCU and/or tribal community) as well as coordinate these into a regional network (NEHR). Doing so builds on established relationships under the previous funding cycle.
