项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY: Marked differences in infectious and chronic disease incidence and mortality rates have been documented among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes nationwide compared to U.S. whites, and most health indicators show that AI/AN people have comparatively poor health status. Although substantial research has been directed toward understanding reasons for high disease rates and health disparities among AI/AN people, involvement by AI/AN researchers in most of these studies has been particularly infrequent. Because cultural factors are central to the design and implementation in many clinical, behavioral, or population-based studies, increasing the involvement of AI/AN peoples to carry out effective research in AI/AN populations should be a priority concern. The program described in this application will increase the research capabilities of AI/AN investigators to carry out well-designed investigations within AI/AN populations and in other settings. Experienced epidemiologists, biostatisticians, ethicists, and other researchers at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (the Board), Oregon Health & Science University, and Portland State University will offer an individually-tailored training program for qualified AI/AN researchers at different levels—including graduate students, health professions students, and Board employees. The training program will introduce participants to various research strategies, measurement issues, study design considerations, data management, data analysis, preparation of grant applications, ethics of research, and manuscript preparation. Tailored seminars and mentoring from seasoned researchers and peer mentors will form a key part of the training experience. We will establish clear benchmarks for each trainee, including completion of a graduate degree for the fellows whom we will support. This proposal builds upon existing grant-funded training programs for AI/AN trainees at our academic partner institutions, and will further the career development of AI/AN researchers through capacity building and research skill development. Through the development of qualified, independent AI/AN investigators, our effort may ultimately serve to reduce some of the many disparities in health that are observed among AI/AN groups, compared to U.S. whites nationwide, as well as reduce tribes’ distrust of research.

项目摘要：已经记录了感染和慢性疾病发病率和死亡率的明显差异与美国白人相比健康指标表明，AI/AN人的健康状况相对较差。虽然很重要研究是针对理解高疾病率和健康分布的原因的在AI/AN人中，AI/A A A/A AN研究人员的参与尤其是罕见。由于文化因素对于许多临床的设计和实施至关重要，所以行为或基于人群的研究增加了AI/AN人的参与以进行有效人口/人口的研究应该是优先考虑的问题。本应用程序中描述的程序将提高AI/A A/A调查人员的研究能力，以进行精心设计的调查 AI/一个人群和其他设置。经验丰富的流行病学家，生物统计学家，伦理学家和其他西北波特兰地区印度卫生委员会（董事会）的研究人员，俄勒冈州健康与科学大学和波特兰州立大学将为合格的AI/AN提供一个单独的训练计划不同级别的研究人员 - 包括研究生，卫生专业人员和董事会雇员。培训计划将向参与者介绍各种研究策略，测量问题，研究设计注意事项，数据管理，数据分析，赠款应用程序的准备，研究伦理和手稿准备。量身定制的半手和经验丰富的心理研究人员和同伴导师将构成培训经验的关键部分。我们将建立清晰的每个学员的基准，包括获得研究生的研究生学位支持。该提案基于我们在我们的AI/A AN学员的现有赠款资助的培训计划的基础学术合作伙伴机构，并将通过能力来进一步发展AI/A/A的职业发展建筑和研究技能开发。通过开发合格的独立AI/AN 调查人员，我们的努力最终可能有助于减少健康的众多差异与全国白人相比，在AI/A团体之间观察到，并减少了部落不信任研究。
