PROJECT SUMMARY The Mexican American population is the fastest growing minority group in the US and experiences significant health disparities. However, Mexican Americans are underrepresented in biomedical research, and the population has barely benefited from the exponential growth of genetic and genomic research that has taken place in recent decades. It is critical that genomic literacy and participation in genomic research improve if the Mexican American population is to benefit from recent and future advances in genomics and precision medicine. The Community Engagement Core (CEC) of the UTRGV Diversity Center for Genome Research is designed to establish new relationships and extend existing relationships with community members and community-based organizations in order to 1) address community-wide health concerns, 2) promote participation in genomic research, and 3) disseminate genomic research findings. The CEC will work closely with each of the other components of the Center to maximize opportunities for engagement with the community. The CEC will build on established networks of interaction and trust in the local community that have been developed over many years by Center investigators through both research and health care delivery efforts. Through a range of activities, the Core will enhance research capacity by improving participation and retention of Mexican Americans in genomic research projects. The Core will address four Specific Aims: 1) to assess the south Texas community needs for, priorities for, barriers to, and interest in biomedical and genomic research through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and surveys; 2) to build a network of community contacts and enhance community involvement with the Center to improve partnerships and support the recruitment of Mexican American study participants; 3) to foster communication to enhance dissemination and uptake of research results; and 4) to evaluate the success of the Core, and make adjustments as required to meet community and research needs.

项目概要 墨西哥裔美国人人口是美国增长最快的少数群体，并且经历了显着的变化 健康差异。然而，墨西哥裔美国人在生物医学研究中的代表性不足，而且 人口几乎没有从遗传和基因组研究的指数增长中受益。 近几十年来的地位。如果能够提高基因组素养和参与基因组研究，这一点至关重要。 墨西哥裔美国人将从基因组学和精准医学的近期和未来进步中受益。 UTRGV 基因组研究多样性中心的社区参与核心 (CEC) 旨在 建立新的关系并扩展与社区成员和基于社区的现有关系 组织，以 1) 解决社区范围内的健康问题，2) 促进基因组学的参与 研究，3) 传播基因组研究成果。 CEC将与其他各方密切合作 中心的组成部分，以最大限度地增加与社区接触的机会。 CEC将建设 建立在当地社区经过多年发展的互动和信任网络之上 中心研究人员通过研究和医疗保健提供工作多年。通过一系列 活动，核心将通过提高墨西哥裔美国人的参与和保留来增强研究能力 在基因组研究项目中。核心将解决四个具体目标：1) 评估德克萨斯州南部社区 通过焦点小组了解生物医学和基因组研究的需求、优先事项、障碍和兴趣 讨论、深度访谈和调查； 2）建立社区联系网络，增强联系 社区参与该中心，以改善伙伴关系并支持招募墨西哥人 美国研究参与者； 3）促进交流，加强研究的传播和吸收 结果; 4) 评估核心的成功，并根据需要进行调整以满足社区和 研究需要。
