# CENTER FOR AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE DIABETES TRANSLATION RESEARCH

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER · 2020 · $497,605

## Abstract

Center Overview: Project Summary
American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are at substantial risk of diabetes. They exhibit
rates of diabetes often greater than other citizens; they suffer serious, debilitating complications
thereof; a disproportionate share of their scarce health care resources are consumed by a small
percentage of patients with diabetes. A growing body of knowledge about evidence-based
policies, programs and practices promises to redress these disparities. The Center for American
Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research: 1) Provides an administrative
structure that promotes diabetes-related translational research capacity. Its Pilot and Feasibility
Program supports small-scale, innovative projects; the Enrichment program offers related
training, technical assistance, and consultation to investigators and key stakeholders; 2)
Sustains and expands a Research Base of funded faculty whose research either directly targets
diabetes prevention and treatment or is translational in nature with clear potential for application
to diabetes translational research; 3) Supports a Translational Research Core that offers
resources in community engagement, cultural adaptation of intervention, health literacy, health
technologies, dissemination and implementation science, and sustainability to advance a
multidisciplinary, culturally grounded, problem-oriented translational research program of major
scientific and programmatic importance; 4) Serves as a National Resource Core for other
investigators pursuing diabetes translational research with AI/AN communities; and 5)
Establishes a Health Disparities Population Core that promotes the dissemination of lessons
learned in this Center's areas of expertise to other rural, underserved, and under-represent
racial/ethnic populations.
