# Chicago Center for Diabetes Translation Research

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY – Overall
The Chicago Center for Diabetes Translation Research aims to expand its role as one of the pioneering
national leaders investigating how to translate diabetes research findings into real-world practice, with an
emphasis on improving the quality of care and outcomes for vulnerable populations in resource-constrained
settings, and reducing racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and LGBTQ disparities in health. The Center is composed
of: 6 Working Groups (Health Disparities and Minority Populations, Diabetes Prevention, Organization and
Financing of Diabetes Care, Community Health Centers, Geriatric Diabetes, Diabetes Decision Making); 3
Methods Cores (Outcomes Improvement and Implementation Science; Quantitative Analysis; Health
Disparities); a Regional/National Resource Core for “Improving Diabetes Outcomes in Community
Health Centers” led by the MidWest Clinicians' Network with the collaboration of the National Association of
Community Health Centers (NACHC) and other national partners; a Core to Support Underserved or Health
Disparity Populations “Urban Diabetes Population Health” led by the Chicago Department of Public
Health; an Enrichment Core that enhances and enriches diabetes translation research and training through
seminars, symposia, and workshops; and a Pilot and Feasibility Program that supports innovative diabetes
research that aims to translate scientific findings into real-world practice. The program nurtures new
investigators and encourages collaborations and partnerships.
The Center's goal is to provide core services to users and to integrate researchers into the collaborative
community of diabetes translation researchers. The Center's innovative work bridges the gap between the
research arena and real-world practitioners, administrators, and policymakers improving diabetes care.
The Center's specific aims are:
1) To create an environment that supports innovative diabetes research to translate scientific findings into real-
 world practice, with a special focus on improving the care and outcomes of vulnerable populations in
 resource-constrained settings, and reducing racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and LGBTQ disparities.
2) To serve as a regional and national research resource to Improve Diabetes Outcomes in Community Health
 Centers led by the MidWest Clinicians' Network in collaboration with NACHC and other national partners.
3) To support multi-level, interdisciplinary diabetes translation research to improve Urban Diabetes Population
 Health in collaboration with the Chicago Department of Public Health.
