Dissemination and Outreach Core

总结 耶鲁医学院提出的ACE传播和推广核心的目标包括 传播研究知识和信息，并提供持续的教育和 在地方/区域和国家/国际各级开展提高教育工作者、医疗保健专业人员、 科学界和自闭症谱系障碍儿童的家庭。此外，该核心 将建立并促进研究者与ASD患者之间的双向沟通 在社区核心的关键是建立包括学生、博士后研究员、 和早期阶段的研究人员在项目建议，并涉及初级和高级研究人员谁是 自闭症领域的新研究者以及来自代表性不足的种族/民族群体的研究者， 弱势背景。 传播和外联核心将利用众多资源，通过 一系列的活动，事件，并继续教育课程，以提供基于研究的目标 信息给学生，家庭和研究人员，特别是那些新的ASD领域。我们将提供 为三个受众量身定制的会议：（1）儿科医生和早期教育工作者，（2）当地科学家， 社区包括学生和年轻的研究者，和（3）ASD患者的家庭。另外这款 核心将传播专业和非专业出版物，基于网络的材料，以及正在进行的研究更新 由ACE研究人员为专业人士，科学界和公众，在地方，国家， 国际层面。通过这个核心，我们还将促进调查人员之间的双向沟通 以及社区中受自闭症谱系障碍影响的个人。家长顾问将在加强 研究人员和研究参与者之间的伙伴关系，充当其他儿童父母的联络人 与ASD，讨论问题，并向ACE研究者提供反馈。社区合作者将 协助我们宣传我们的传播论坛和ACE参与机会。经常性的对话 这两组家长和社区合作伙伴将奠定基础，改善招聘和保留 参与ACE研究和未来研究，并增加对以下方面的传播活动的吸收： 社会各界这一目标建立在我们家庭与调查人员之间互动的悠久传统之上， 有助于加强长期关系和研究参与体验的质量。也 延续CSC长期以来培养新人才的做法，我们提出了具体的机制，包括 学生，博士后研究员，早期研究人员和ASD领域以外的研究人员， 来自代表性不足的种族/民族群体和弱势背景的人。这些目标将在 通过创建新的讲座，研讨会，导师计划和大圆桌会议，以及利用耶鲁大学 医学院的既定培训计划和新的多样性倡议。

Summary The objectives of the Yale School of Medicine’s proposed ACE Dissemination and Outreach Core include dissemination of research knowledge and information as well as provision of ongoing educational and awareness activities at local/regional and national/international levels to educators, medical care professionals, the scientific community, and families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In addition, this Core will establish and promote bidirectional communication between investigators and individuals affected by ASD in the community. Critical to the core is the creation of mechanisms to include students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-stage investigators in the Projects proposed, and to involve junior and senior researchers who are new to the field of autism as well as investigators from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and disadvantaged backgrounds. The Dissemination and Outreach Core will utilize numerous resources to reach target audiences through a range of activities, events, and continuing educational courses with the goal of providing research-based information to students, families, and researchers, especially those new to the field of ASD. We shall provide conferences tailored to three audiences: (1) pediatricians and early educators, (2) the local scientific community including students and young investigators, and (3) families of individuals with ASD. In addition, this Core will disseminate professional and lay publications, web-based materials, and ongoing research updates by ACE investigators for professionals, the scientific community, and the general public, at local, national, and international levels. Through this Core, we will also foster bidirectional communication between investigators and individuals affected by ASD in the community. Parent Consultants will play a central role in enhancing the partnership between investigators and research participants by serving as liaisons to other parents of children with ASD, discussing concerns, and providing feedback to ACE Investigators. Community Collaborators will assist us in publicizing our dissemination forums and ACE participation opportunities. Ongoing dialogue with both sets of Parent and Community partners will lay the foundation for improved recruitment and retention of participants for the ACE studies and future research, as well as increase uptake of dissemination activities in the community. This objective builds on our long tradition of interaction between families and investigators that serves to enhance long-term relationships and the quality of the research participation experience. Also continuing the CSC’s longstanding practice of fostering new talent, we propose specific mechanisms to include students, post-doctoral fellows, early-stage investigators, and researchers from outside the field of ASD and from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and disadvantaged backgrounds. These goals will be addressed by creating new lectures, symposia, mentorship programs, and Grand Rounds, as well as tapping into Yale School of Medicine’s established training programs and new Diversity Initiatives.
