Research
Informing practice and policy change at the health system, community and policy levels.
DREAMS-CDTR is designed around three research cores to best advance diabetes research in Northern California and the Central Valley.
These three cores are based on the strengths and experiences of the Center’s leadership and affiliated investigators and the needs of the communities the Center serves.
Health Engagement and Action Translational Research
The HEAT core fosters community-based, action-oriented research to inform tailored interventions that are ready for implementation in real-world practice at the health system, community and policy levels.
Methods and Data Integration
Researchers in the MDI core seek to introduce novel and robust methodologies, improve the uptake of research, and allocate on-demand availability of experts to catalyze research.
National Diabetes Policy Research Resource
The National Diabetes Policy Research Resource Core extends the reach of DREAMS-CDTR’s expertise and resources beyond its core institutions. The Core leverages its cutting-edge and robust methodologies to improve the uptake of research across institutions focused on high-risk populations. The Core also enhances the efficiency, productivity, effectiveness, and multidisciplinary nature of diabetes translation research through allocation of on-demand availability of experts.
