Center for Evidence-based Practice in the Underserved (CEBP)

凭借作为P20探索性护理科学中心的六年经验和生产力，广泛的跨学科合作，包括临床和转化科学奖（CTSA）在内的杰出机构资源，致力于为服务不足人群进行研究的有力证据，我们的总体框架（慢性护理模型），以及信息学和经济分析方面的独特优势，服务不足人群循证实践中心（CEBP）的目标是：1)通过资助研究和实施四个跨学科核心（行政管理、自我管理、生物行为和信息学、设计、方法、生物统计和经济分析、传播和翻译），促进服务不足人群自我管理的生物行为研究能力的发展；2)在CTSA“WorkWeb”门户网站的基础设施上，实施和维持一种基于社交软件的方法，使跨学科的自我管理研究人员能够通过各种信息和通信技术和服务进行沟通和协作；3)加强CEBP调查人员在基于信息学的方法方面的专门知识，使服务不足的人口能够以适合文化和卫生素养水平的方式进行自我管理干预；4)发展CEBP调查人员的专业知识，将适当的经济方法和分析应用于服务不足人群的自我管理研究；5)促进研究成果在跨学科科学文献中的传播，并转化为实践和政策；6)实施形成性、总结性评价方案。

Building upon six years of experience and productivity as a P20 Exploratory Nursing Science Center, broad interdisciplinary collaboration, outstanding institutional resources including a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), strong evidence of commitment to research for underserved populations, our overarching framework (The Chronic Care Model), and unique strengths in informatics and economic analysis, the aims of the Center for Evidence-based Practice in the Underserved (CEBP) are to: 1) Facilitate the development of biobehavioral research capacity in self-management for underserved populations through the funding of research studies and the implementation of four interdisciplinary cores (Administrative; Self-Management, Biobehavioral, and Informatics; Design, Methods, Biostatistics, and Economic Analysis; Dissemination and Translation); 2) Implement and maintain a social software-based approach, building upon the infrastructure of the CTSA "WorkWeb" Portal to enable interdisciplinary researchers in self-management to communicate and collaborate through a variety of information and communication technologies and services; 3) Enhance the expertise of CEBP investigators in informatics based approaches that enable self-management interventions for underserved populations in a manner appropriate to culture and level of health literacy; 4) Develop the expertise of CEBP investigators in application of appropriate economic methods and analyses for self-management studies in underserved populations; 5) Facilitate dissemination of research findings into the interdisciplinary scientific literature and translation into practice and policy; and 6) Implement a formative and summative evaluation plan. Our approaches capitalize on outstanding interdisciplinary collaborations and resources and the use of innovative information technologies including collaborative and knowledge management software to facilitate the development of biobehavioral research capacity for scientists conducting self-management research in underserved populations. We will focus on the design and implementation of novel resources to enable information sharing and promote interdisciplinary knowledge development for self-management research. Four proposed research projects will apply the resources of CEBP's cores to identify and test strategies to enhance self-management for four vulnerable populations (adolescents with diabetes, persons living with HIV/AIDS and their nutritional needs, diabetics with hypertension, and community-dwelling elders at risk for injury by falls). CEBP's systematic approach to developing infrastructure and to evaluating and disseminating findings will assure a strong, sustainable program of interdisciplinary, biobehavioral research in self-management.
