Community Driven Approach to Mitigate COVID 19 Disparities in Hawaii's Vulnerable Populations

项目总结/摘要 实现“奥拉”（夏威夷语中的健康），使社区不成比例地遭受遗传， 健康方面的环境和社会经济差异是拟议的RCMI专业化的理由 位于马诺阿的夏威夷大学中心。该中心名为奥拉夏威夷，其目标是发展和 支持健康差异调查人员社区（“劳动力”）利用多元化的力量 “思考”（“思考力量”），以确定健康差距的原因和干预措施。该中心的 将通过以下具体目标实现这一目标。 具体目标1：促进和便利开展高影响力的团队科学研究， 健康差距。 计划：让所有利益攸关方参与选择有价值的项目提案的决策过程， 为科学严谨的R 01/R21型基础生物医学、行为医学和生物医学研究提供资金和基础设施支持。 和关于健康差异的临床研究项目。促进与其他区域协调员的合作和伙伴关系 通过RCMI转化研究网络（RTRN）的赠款机构。 具体目标2：加强基础生物医学、行为学和临床研究并使之多样化 劳动力和智囊团重点关注健康差距。 计划确定最积极的基础生物医学，行为和临床教师，特别是那些来自 代表性不足的背景，在健康差距研究的职业生涯。确定高级教师担任 为新的和处于早期阶段的调查人员设立辅导小组。实施团队科学指导训练营， 个性化教育和技能培训。实施团队科学试点项目计划， 在竞争的基础上，向新的和处于早期阶段的调查人员提供资金，以便为赠款申请提供数据。 具体目标3：加强、巩固和维持核心设施和资源，以消除保健差距 research. 计划实施客观的标准和指标来评估核心需求和使用情况， 生产力和创收。整合核心资源以减少冗余。提供适度 通过“CoreBucks”计划提供资金，最大限度地利用RTRN的核心资源和服务。 机构投资将确保拟议的RCMI专业中心的可持续性， 基础设施和资源，为一个新时代的研究卓越的科学健康的差距。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Achieving “ola” (health in Hawaiian) for the communities suffering disproportionately from genetic, environmental and socioeconomic disparities in health is the rationale for the proposed RCMI Specialized Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The objective of the Center, named Ola HAWAII, is to grow and support a community of health disparities investigators (the “workforce”) to harness the power of diverse thought (the “thinkforce”) to determine the causes of and interventions for health disparities. The Center's objective will be achieved by the following specific aims. Specific Aim 1: Foster and facilitate the conduct of high-impact team-science research addressing health disparities. Plan: Involve all stakeholders in decision-making process of selecting meritorious project proposals and provide funding and infrastructure support for scientifically rigorous R01/R21-type basic biomedical, behavioral and clinical research projects on health disparities. Promote collaborations and partnerships with other RCMI grantee institutions through the RCMI Translational Research Network (RTRN). Specific Aim 2: Strengthen and diversify the basic biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce and thinkforce focusing on health disparities. Plan. Identify the most motivated basic biomedical, behavioral and clinical faculty, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, for careers in health disparities research. Identify senior faculty to serve on mentoring teams for new and early-stage investigators. Implement a Team-Science Mentoring Bootcamp for personalized education and skills training. Implement a Team-Science Pilot Projects Program to provide funding, on a competitive basis, to new and early-stage investigators to generate data for grant applications. Specific Aim 3: Enhance, consolidate and sustain core facilities and resources for health disparities research. Plan. Implement objective criteria and metrics to evaluate core needs and usage, core-dependent research productivity, and revenue generation. Consolidate core resources to reduce redundancies. Provide modest funding through a “CoreBucks” Program to maximize utilization of core resources and services across RTRN. Institutional investments will ensure the sustainability of the proposed RCMI Specialized Center to provide the infrastructure and resources for a new era of research excellence on the science of health disparities.
