The mission of the center is to facilitate and grow T2 diabetes translation research within the state of Georgia. T2 translation is defined as research focused on translating interventions\/approaches that have clearly demonstrated efficacy into real world health care settings, communities, and populations at risk with an emphasis on reach, sustainability, and potential for widespread implementation. GCDTR facilitates research in three core areas: The Disparities Core addresses the roles of demographic, life\u2010span, race\/ethnicity, immigration, and diabetes co\u2010morbidities on diabetes rates, treatment, and outcomes. The Design and Evaluation Core focuses on models of delivering effective preventive and health care services, including innovative use of technologies, workforce development, and\/or metrics and evaluation. The Engagement and Behavior Change Core focuses on enhancing adoption and maintenance of prevention and care interventions for diabetes among those in need and incorporates expertise and resources from the fields of behavioral sciences, screening, and community\u2010based participatory research.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research Kickoff Event"}],"uid":"27980","created_gmt":"2017-01-03 15:54:52","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:13:30","author":"Alyson Key","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-02-01T14:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2017-02-01T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-02-01T18:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-02-01 19:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-02-01 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-02-01 23:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"69599","name":"IPaT"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
