  1. Research: Catchment Area Mary Sumpmann MS, RN Associate Director for Administration

  2. Context • Catchment: state of Minnesota w/~4M people • Located in major metropolitan area • ~85% of the population is white • Among the largest Somali and Hmong populations in the US • Largest American Indian population in the US outside of reservations. • Cancer is the #1 cause of death

  3. Principles of Success • Committed, community recognized faculty researcher • Community-based participatory research Principles • Leverage resources with other university/community chronic disease agendas

  4. Strategy: Engagement Before Research MCC Disparities Pilot Grants NIH Cancer Disparities Grants Community Engagement

  5. Community-Based Participatory Research PrinciplesIsrael, BA: Schultz, AJ: Parker, EA: Becker, AB (1998) Review of community-based research: assessing partnership approaches to improve public health, Ann Rev Pub Health. 19:173-202 • A community is unit of identity that is reinforced through social interactions and characterized by shared values, norms and mutual influences • Activities should build on community resources and relationships • Programs should establish equal partnerships in all phases of research

  6. CBP Research Principles Cont.… • Programs should promote co-learning that facilitates reciprocal transfer of knowledge , skill, and capacity. • Activities should achieve balance between research and action • Research programs should address locally relevant health problems and consider the multiple determinants of health and disease
