Research Capacity Building Core

项目概要/摘要-能力建设核心 中低收入国家的能力建设工作对于推进执行科学和使全球 对癌症不平等的影响。执行科学能力的加强仍处于长期的新生状态， 特别是在癌症控制工作的背景下，协同研究和 U 54中心提出的核心计划已做好充分准备，以解决这些关键差距，并与以下优先事项保持一致 区域利益攸关方。Empilisweni中心能力建设核心的总体目标是： 妇女健康组织将增加实施研究机会和癌症控制能力 南非西开普省通过教学和体验式实施科学培训， 为一系列感兴趣的研究人员，临床医生和实施从业人员提供指导。的能力 Building Core建立并扩展了我们团队在尖端临床领域近三十年的合作伙伴关系， 宫颈癌筛查研究，以及现有的教育和研究能力和长期的 伙伴关系。与本中心关于促进公平和综合实施癌症防治的主题保持一致 我们的具体目标是建立可持续的研究能力， IS包括：1）提供可持续实施的科学培训和职业发展计划， 培训员培训模式、辅导以及创新的教育和能力建设活动， 在实施科学领域的核心能力的当地知识（如基础理论， 框架、战略和方法;经济评估），并辅以相关的癌症控制和 职业发展培训和机会。利用我们团队在信息系统能力建设方面的经验， 知识传播和利用，该方案将在一系列受训人员（研究人员， 临床医生，从业人员，社区卫生工作者）在南非UCT & MOH，并将建立可持续的 区域实施研究能力，为公平扩大循证研究提供基础 在该区域开展宫颈癌控制创新。2)与研究项目和利益相关者合作 参与核心，学员和利益相关者将帮助通知和共同领导的发展，应用， 评估和完善实施科学框架（例如，从知识到行动、CFIR、RE-AIM）， 实施战略和培训工具，反映当地情况和利益攸关方的投入，重点是我们的 中心的主题。该核心拥有成功支持和增强 信息系统调查人员和执行人员的专业和职业发展（包括2名信息系统首席研究员）， 最终目标是加强地方能力和建立一支可持续的学者和从业人员队伍 他们准备在该地区进行和领导癌症控制的IS研究。

Project Summary/Abstract - Capacity Building Core Capacity-building efforts in LMICs are critical to advancing the science of implementation and to have global impact on cancer inequities. Implementation science capacity strengthening is still in the nascent state for chronic diseases focused on LMICs, particularly in the context of cancer control efforts. The synergistic research and cores proposed in the U54 Center are well-poised to address these key gaps and aligned with the priorities of regional stakeholders. The overarching goal of the Capacity Building Core within the Empilisweni Center for Women’s Health is to increase implementation research opportunities and capacity in cancer control in the Western Cape Province of South Africa through didactic and experiential implementation science training and mentorship for a range of interested researchers, clinicians, and implementation practitioners. The Capacity Building Core builds off of and extends our team’s nearly three decades of partnership in cutting-edge clinical research in cervical cancer screening, and existing educational and research capacity and longstanding partnerships. Aligned with our Center’s theme on advancing equitable and integrated implementation for cancer control in South Africa, our Specific Aims for building sustainable research capacity to conduct cancer control in IS include: 1) Deliver a sustainable implementation science training and career development program using the train-the-trainer model, mentorship, and innovative educational and capacity-building activities, that will enhance local knowledge of core competencies in the field of implementation science (e.g. foundational theories, frameworks, strategies, and methods; economic evaluation), supplemented with relevant cancer control and career development training and opportunities. Leveraging our team’s experience in IS capacity-building and knowledge dissemination and utilization, this program will be delivered among a range of trainees (researchers, clinicians, practitioners, community health workers) in South Africa at UCT & MOH, and will build sustainable implementation research capacity regionally, providing the foundation to equitably scale-up evidence-based cervical cancer control innovations in the region. 2) In partnership with the Research Projects and Stakeholder Engagement Core, trainees and stakeholders will help inform and co-lead the development, application, evaluation, and refinement of implementation science frameworks (e.g. Knowledge to Action, CFIR, RE-AIM), implementation strategies, and training tools that reflect local context and stakeholder input, with a focus on our Center’s theme. This Core has the expertise and infrastructure to successfully support and enhance the professional and career development of investigators and implementers in IS (including 2 lead IS Fellows), with the ultimate goal of strengthening local capacity and building a sustainable cadre of scholars and practitioners who are prepared to conduct and lead IS research for cancer control in this region.
