Research Core

新墨西哥州中心的总体目标是促进研究，参与和科学的健康差异（NM CARES HD）是创建一个充满活力，自我维持的卓越中心，推进知识的科学基础，致力于减少美国西南部土著和西班牙裔社区的健康差异。NM CARES HD研究核心（RC）的具体目标是： 1.提供研究基础设施和技术支持，以确保顺利完成现有项目，并促进新项目的开发和投资于健康差异研究的研究人员，特别强调支持少数群体调查人员; 2.发展和促进研究集群，以更好地为减少健康差距提供信息和开发新项目、研究人员和方法。最初的分组将侧重于以社区为基础的参与性研究和非殖民化方法;种族、族裔和健康平等;混合和新颖的方法;以及转化为政策和实践; 3.使用各种数据源评估研究核心和整个计划中的活动，包括对参加各种演讲的社区成员和研究人员的采访，参加有关中心主题的讨论，并参与拟议和未来的研究项目。 将资助两个初步研究项目。RC将开发所有中心差异调查人员可以使用的资源，包括资源库;与RC教师的直接咨询;该领域外部专家的直接咨询资金;其他培训机会。以下智囊团研究小组，“研究集群”，将形成提供一个论坛的思想交流，知识的扩展，并开发新的，创新的健康差距的研究：CBPR评估科学，差距因果关系，混合研究方法的整合，并将差距研究转化为初级保健实践和政策。已经为该中心制定了一项综合评价战略。

The overall goal of the New Mexico Center for Advancement of Research, Engagement & Science on Health Disparities (NM CARES HD) is to create a vigorous, self-sustaining center of excellence that advances the scientific base of knowledge devoted to decreasing health disparities in Southwestern Native American and Hispanics communities. The Specific Aims of the NM CARES HD Reseach Core (RC) are to: 1. Provide research infrastructure and technical support to assure successful completion of current projects and facilitate development of new projects and researchers invested in health disparities research, with particular emphasis on supporting minority investigators; 2. Develop and facilitate research clusters to better inform and develop new projects, researchers, and methods aimed at reducing health disparities. Initial clusters will focus on community-based participatory research (CBPR) and decolonizing methods; race, ethnicity and health equity; mixed and novel methodologies; and translation to policy and practice; 3. Evaluate the activities within the Research Core and the program as a whole using various data sources, including interviews of community members and researchers who attend various presentations, participate in discussions regarding center topics, and are involved in proposed and future research projects. Two initial research projects will be supported. The RC will develop resources that all center disparity investigators can use, including a resource library; direct consultation with the RC faculty; funding for direct consultation from external experts in the field; other training opportunities. The following think tank study groups, "research clusters", will be formed to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, expansion of knowledge, and development of new, innovative health disparity studies: CBPR evaluation science, disparity causation, integration of mixed research methods, and translating disparity research into primary care practices and policy. A comprehensive evaluation strategy for the center has been developed.
