DESCRIPTION FOR CENTER APPLICATION (provided by the investigator): This Category 2 Center application proposes to create the Arkansas Prevention Research Center (ARPRC), building on community-based orientation of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health (COPH), a fully CEPH-accredited school of public health. This community orientation has led to strong community partnerships and active community participation in COPH planning, research, education/training and service programs, and in the preparation of this application, as reflected by community partner co-leadership at all levels of the proposed Center. We propose to focus many of the ARPRC's research, engagement and education activities on the southeastern Arkansas Delta region, historically the cotton-producing part of the state and home to most of Arkansas' African-American population, the state's largest racial/ethnic minority group, with the lowest per capita income in the state and the highest morbidity and mortality for nearly all health conditions. Arkansas' health indicators are consistently rated among the worst in the nation and health disparities are significant The long-term overall goal of the proposed ARPRC is: to develop CBPR research and educational programs (for academicians, practitioners, and community partners/members) that reduce risks for chronic disease among Arkansas' racial and ethnic minorities with a goal of eliminating chronic disease health disparities. The overall five-year goal of the proposed Center is: to develop the research, partnership, and educational infrastructure in order to develop and implement a core pilot study using CBPR in addressing childhood obesity and actively participate in the national PRC Network. Specific aims for the proposed ARPRC include: 1) to develop infrastructure to enable us to conduct further CBPR projects and allow the ARPRC to participate as an active member in the PRC Network, including six units/committees (a Director's Office, a Steering Committee, a Community Advisory Board -CAB, a Community Engagement and Partnerships Unit - CEPU, a Communication and Dissemination Unit - CDU, an educational and Training Unit - ETU, an Evaluation Unit - EU, 2) to conduct a CBPR pilot research project in 5 of 19 Delta counties, developing tools to reduce childhood obesity; and 3) to participate actively in the PRC Network.

描述中心应用（研究人员提供）：此类别2中心应用建议创建阿肯色州预防研究中心（ARPRC），建立基于阿肯色大学医学科学大学（UAMS）Fay W. Boozman公共卫生学院（COPH）的基于社区的方向，该公共卫生完全由CEPH认可的公共卫生学院。这种社区定位导致社区伙伴关系和积极的社区参与COPH计划，研究，教育/培训和服务计划，以及在拟议中心的各个级别的社区合作伙伴共同领导者所反映的。我们建议将ARPRC的许多研究，参与和教育活动集中在阿肯色州东南部三角洲地区，从历史上看，这是阿肯色州大部分非裔美国人人口的国家和家中的棉花，这是该州最大的种族/族裔少数族裔群体，在州的人均收入最低，在州和最高范围内的培训和越来越低。阿肯色州的健康指标始终被评为全国最糟糕的差异，而健康差异是拟议中的ARPRC的长期总体目标，是：制定CBPR研究和教育计划（对于院士，从业人员和社区伙伴/成员），降低了阿肯色州种族和族裔少数族裔少数疾病的慢性病的风险，以消除慢性病的疾病疾病，以消除疾病的疾病健康。拟议中心的总体五年目标是：开发研究，伙伴关系和教育基础设施，以开发和实施使用CBPR来解决儿童肥胖症并积极参与国家PRC网络的核心试点研究。 Specific aims for the proposed ARPRC include: 1) to develop infrastructure to enable us to conduct further CBPR projects and allow the ARPRC to participate as an active member in the PRC Network, including six units/committees (a Director's Office, a Steering Committee, a Community Advisory Board -CAB, a Community Engagement and Partnerships Unit - CEPU, a Communication and Dissemination Unit - CDU, an educational and Training Unit - ETU, an Evaluation Unit - 欧盟，2）在19个三角洲的5个县中的5个县进行CBPR试点研究项目，开发了减少儿童肥胖的工具； 3）积极参与PRC网络。
