Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research (CAIANDTR)

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。他们表现出糖尿病的比率 通常比其他公民更大；他们遭受严重的、令人衰弱的并发症；不成比例的份额 他们稀缺的卫生保健资源被一小部分糖尿病患者所消耗。一个不断增长的 关于循证政策、方案和做法的大量知识有望纠正这些差距。 美国印第安人和阿拉斯加土著糖尿病翻译研究中心：1)提供行政管理 促进糖尿病相关翻译研究能力的结构。其试点和可行性计划 支持小规模创新项目；2)提供相关培训、技术援助和咨询，以 通过丰富计划调查人员和主要利益相关者；2)维持和扩大研究基础 他们的研究要么直接针对糖尿病预防和治疗，要么是转化性的 自然具有明确的应用于糖尿病翻译研究的潜力；3)支持翻译研究 提供干预措施的文化适应、卫生知识、卫生技术、 传播和实施科学、护理成本/可持续性和定性研究方法，以 推进以文化为基础、以多学科问题为导向的专业翻译研究计划 科学和规划对当地人的重要性；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和项目；以及5)建立 社区外联和参与核心，促进传播经验教训并确保 关键利益攸关方参与将其扩展到这一特殊人群。

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; 2) Offers related training, technical assistance, and consultation to investigators and key stakeholders through an Enrichment Program; 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 the cultural adaptation of interventions, health literacy, health technologies, dissemination and implementation science, cost of care/ sustainability, and qualitative research methods to advance a culturally grounded, multidisciplinary problem-oriented translational research program of major scientific and programmatic importance to Native people; 4) Serves as a National Resource Core for other investigators and programs pursuing diabetes translational research with AI/AN communities; and 5) Establishes a Community Outreach and Engagement Core that promotes the dissemination of lessons learned and ensures key stakeholder participation in their extension to this special population.
