项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary and translational Center for Childhood Obesity Prevention. Childhood obesity is a national public health threat that is disproportionately worse in Arkansas. Therefore, the immediate goal is to prevent the rise in Arkansas childhood obesity rates, with an ultimate goal of reducing childhood obesity rates by ≥10% (reduction of ~3.8%) in our state over the next 5-10 years. Through the establishment of the Center, we will meet this critical need through a coordinated, community-based approach targeting modifiable individual risk behaviors, environmental risk factors, and local, state and national risk reduction policies. This strategy will include investigation of underlying metabolic factors. We will bring together a group of four promising junior investigators whose collective research focuses on multiple aspects of this central theme, provide these investigators with a supportive infrastructure environment developed specifically to enhance their chances for success, and use the foundation provided by this initial group to develop four additional pipeline junior investigators, as well as to promoe ongoing recruitment of subsequent junior investigators with an interest in community-based approaches to childhood obesity prevention. Specific Aim #1 will establish the Center for Childhood Obesity Prevention, addressing childhood obesity through targeted behaviors, environments, and policies. In Specific Aim #2, we will coordinate and enhance existing research infrastructure and collaboration throughout the ACHRI and the UA System in support of the Center. Three cores will be established or enhanced to support the research of Center investigators: an Administrative and Scientific Support Core A, a Biostatistics and Informatics Core B, and a Metabolism Core C, each under the leadership of experienced senior faculty with strong research and administrative backgrounds. The mentoring program will consist of the Center Mentoring Committee (CMC) which includes two senior faculty members matched with each junior investigator and each pipeline investigator (11 total; some overlap); further, the UAMS Faculty Development Program (FDP) supports the general academic career development and advancement of junior faculty through the Promotion and Tenure process. These strategies, in coordination with the expertise of the established senior research faculty and an internal Executive Committee, will provide the synergy and oversight required for the development of ongoing successful external applications to sustain this work.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目标是建立一个综合的、跨学科的、转化性的儿童肥胖预防中心。儿童肥胖是一个全国性的公共卫生威胁，在阿肯色州尤为严重，因此，当前的目标是预防。阿肯色州儿童肥胖率的上升，最终目标是在未来 5-10 年内将本州儿童肥胖率降低 ≥10%（降低约 3.8%）。我们将通过针对可改变的个人风险行为、环境风险因素以及地方、州和国家风险降低政策的协调的、基于社区的方法来满足这一关键需求。我们将汇集一个小组来调查潜在的代谢因素。四名有前途的初级调查员的集体研究重点关注这一中心主题的多个方面，为这些调查员提供专门开发的支持性基础设施环境，以提高他们成功的机会，并利用这个初始小组提供的基础来培养另外四名管道初级调查员以及促进对基于社区的儿童肥胖预防方法感兴趣的后续初级研究人员的持续招募。具体目标#1将建立儿童肥胖预防中心，通过有针对性的行为、环境和政策解决儿童肥胖问题。在具体目标 #2 中，我们将协调并加强整个 ACHRI 和 UA 系统的现有研究基础设施和协作，以支持该中心将建立或加强三个核心来支持中心研究人员的研究：行政和科学支持核心 A、生物统计和信息学核心 B 和代谢核心 C，每个都由具有强大研究和管理背景的经验丰富的高级教师领导。指导计划将由中心指导委员会 (CMC) 组成，其中包括与每位初级研究员和每位管道研究员相匹配的两名高级教员。（总共 11 个；部分重叠）；此外，UAMS 教师发展计划 (FDP) 通过晋升和终身教职流程，与现有高级研究教师的专业知识相协调，支持初级教师的一般学术职业发展和进步。和一个内部执行委员会，将提供开发持续成功的外部应用程序所需的协同作用和监督，以维持这项工作。
