Community Liaison and Recruitment Core

社区联络和招聘核心（CLRC） 摘要 社区联络和招聘核心（CLRC）将在我们实现以下目标的能力中发挥关键作用： 与我们整个芝加哥当地社区进行真实和有影响力的接触，这是我们最重要的 种族/民族多样化的大城市在美国。CLRC的总体目标是让这些 不同的社区作为研究的平等伙伴，旨在降低ADRD的风险（即，通过 人口科学研究导致初级预防），并在这些领域内尽量减少其负面影响。 社区（即，健康促进研究导致二级预防）。CLRC将实现这一目标 通过为CNAS导师和学员提供培训机会和资源， 开展社区参与研究的实践（目标1），并通过建立和促进双边研究， 定向合作和沟通渠道之间的CNOAA学者和我们的社区 合作伙伴（目标#2）。CLRC的主要内部合作者将是来自UIC中西部Roybal的高级领导人 健康促进和翻译中心在成功干预方面有着良好的记录， 少数老年人，UIC的临床和转化科学中心（CCTS）和公共学院 健康司法合作实验室（CHJ）。CLRC的目标#1将通过以下定期周期实现： CLRC领导层、CNOA导师/学员以及社区合作伙伴之间的圆桌讨论， 明确的目的是评估CNAS学者在以下方面未得到满足的培训和资源需求： 社区参与。然后，CLRC领导将与CCTS、CHJ以及领导和行政 核心（LAC）寻找或开发新的机会和资源，以满足这些需求。CLRC的目标#2 将通过定期在主要社区内举行研究研讨会来实现， 我们的芝加哥集水区。这些研讨会将为研究人员提供系统的机会， 他们的研究想法或发现与社区成员，并将给社区成员的机会， 提供反馈。这些研讨会将为社区成员提供机会， 研究过程，以帮助他们作为平等伙伴参与。

Community Liaison and Recruitment Core(CLRC) Abstract CHECA’s Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) will play a pivotal role in our ability to achieve authentic and impactful engagement with our local communities throughout Chicago, one of the most racially/ethnically diverse large cities in the United States. The overall goal of the CLRC will be to engage these diverse communities as equal partners in research aiming to both reduce the risk of ADRD (i.e., through population science research leading to primary prevention) and minimize its negative impacts within these communities (i.e., health promotion research leading to secondary prevention). The CLRC will achieve this goal by providing CHECA mentors and mentees with training opportunities and resources focused on best practices for conducting community-engaged research (Aim #1), and by establishing and facilitating bi- directional collaborations and communication channels between CHECA scholars and our community partners (Aim #2). Key internal collaborators for the CLRC will be Senior Leaders from UIC’s Midwest Roybal Center for Health Promotion and Translation which has a strong track record of successful interventions with minority older adults, UIC’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) and the School of Public Health’s Collaboratory for Health Justice (CHJ). Aim #1 of the CLRC will be achieved through a regular cycle of roundtable discussions between CLRC leadership, CHECA mentors/mentees, as well as community partners, with the explicit purpose of assessing the CHECA scholars’ unmet training and resource needs with regard to community engagement. CLRC leads will then work with CCTS, CHJ, and the Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) to locate or develop new opportunities and resources to meet these needs. Aim #2 of the CLRC will be achieved through a regular cycle of research seminars to be held at locations within key communities in our Chicago catchment areas. These seminars will give CHECA scholars systematic opportunities to share their research ideas or findings with community members and will give community members the opportunity to offer feedback. Built into these seminars will be opportunities for community members to receive training on the research process to aid in their engagement as equal partners.
