DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): African Americans continue to experience striking health disparities, including shorter life expectancy and higher rates of cancer, heart disease, stroke, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, asthma, influenza and pneumonia, and infant mortality and low birth weights. To more effectively address these disparities, there is a pressing need for health research that includes African Americans -- and the community organizations that serve them - in the research process. One potential partner for reaching African Americans is the African American church community. African American churches have significant influence and reach with over 50% of the African American population attending church on a weekly basis. We propose to build on our more than 11-year track record of extramurally-funded (e.g., NIH, CDC, SAMSHA, local foundations) health science research with African American churches and community-based organizations (CBOs) to create a new formal partnership, the Heartland Health Network (HHN) based at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The HHN will support collaborative research between an academic health center, an African American faith-based community, and a community-based health service organization. The HHN will focus on overcoming the barriers that each partner faces in order to facilitate health research and dissemination. To achieve this goal we will: 1) formalize our existing network of health researchers, African American faith-based organizations, and a community-based health service organization; 2) increase the infrastructure capacity of our partners to efficiently develop and disseminate health science research by enhancing communication and partner relationships, technology support, organizational capacity, and health research and dissemination expertise; 3) broaden our network to become a regional entity inclusive of additional churches and other community sectors (e.g., schools, media) to address health disparities affecting African Americans; and 4) achieve sustainability by expanding university institutional support, collaborative submission of grants by HHN partners, and securing foundation support. To assist in facilitating these goals, we have identified a Community Research Associate (CRA) who has extensive experience in developing and implementing health programming in African American churches. The CRA will ensure that representatives of the African American church community are actively involved in all aspects of this application. She will advocate for their interests and ensure that the HHN strives to meet their infrastructure needs. Achievement of these goals will result in several innovations, including more African American church-based health research and dissemination, more culturally competent researchers and health service staff, enhanced understanding of the research process by all partners, enhanced ability to adapt/develop culturally-appropriate health interventions, and an increased number of health disparities addressed with at-risk African Americans. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: African Americans continue to experience striking health disparities, and are underrepresented in academic health research. This project addresses the need to fully engage African Americans in research, as well as expand the skills and experience of faith and community-based organizations and researchers to develop strategic community partnerships that facilitate research. The potential public health impact is substantial because it will enhance the capacity of the community to implement evidence-based interventions among African Americans.

描述（由申请人提供）：非洲裔美国人继续经历严重的健康差异，包括寿命较短，癌症，心脏病，中风，艾滋病毒/艾滋病，糖尿病，哮喘，流感，流感和肺炎，以及婴儿死亡率和低出生体重。为了更有效地解决这些差异，在研究过程中，迫切需要健康研究，其中包括非洲裔美国人以及为他们服务的社区组织。非洲裔美国人社区是接触非裔美国人的潜在伙伴。非洲裔美国教会具有重大影响力，并且每周有50％的非洲裔美国人口参加教堂。我们建议建立在我们与非裔美国人教会和基于社区的组织（CBO）的健康科学研究（例如NIH，CDC，Samsha，当地基金会）的11年以上的记录，以建立新的正式合作伙伴关系，以建立新的正式伙伴关系，即密苏里州密苏里州肯萨斯城大学的Heartland Health Network（HHN）。 HHN将支持学术健康中心，非裔美国信仰社区与社区卫生服务组织之间的合作研究。 HHN将着重于克服每个伴侣面临的障碍，以促进健康研究和传播。为了实现这一目标，我们将：1）正式化我们现有的卫生研究人员网络，非裔美国人基于信仰的组织以及社区的卫生服务组织； 2）通过增强沟通和合作伙伴关系，技术支持，组织能力以及健康研究和传播专业知识，提高我们合作伙伴的基础设施能力有效发展和传播健康科学研究； 3）扩大我们的网络，成为一个区域实体，包括其他教会和其他社区部门（例如学校，媒体），以解决影响非裔美国人的健康差异； 4）通过扩大大学的机构支持，HHN Partners赠款的合作提交以及确保基金会支持来实现可持续性。为了协助促进这些目标，我们确定了一个社区研究助理（CRA），他们在非裔美国人教会中开发和实施健康计划方面拥有丰富的经验。 CRA将确保非裔美国人教会社区的代表积极参与本申请的各个方面。她将倡导他们的利益，并确保HHN努力满足他们的基础设施需求。实现这些目标将导致几项创新，包括更多的非裔美国教会的健康研究和传播，更多具有文化能力的研究人员和卫生服务人员，增强所有合作伙伴对研究过程的了解，增强的能力，适应/发展具有文化适当的健康干预措施以及与现有风险的非洲非洲人的健康差异的增加。 公共卫生相关性：非洲裔美国人继续经历严重的健康差异，并且在学术健康研究中的人数不足。该项目旨在充分吸引非洲裔美国人参与研究，并扩大信仰和社区组织和研究人员的技能和经验，以开发促进研究的战略社区伙伴关系。潜在的公共卫生影响很大，因为它将增强社区在非裔美国人中实施基于证据的干预措施的能力。
