Abstract
Introduction and Objective: The National Center for Engagement in Diabetes Equity Research (CEDER) fosters nationwide collaborations to increase engagement and equity in type 2 diabetes research. Co-led by community and academic partners, CEDER utilizes a partnership hub (PH) and steering committee (SC), comprising diverse members, to provide input on CEDER’s model. We describe lessons learned on how to advance equity in co-developing and co-administering CEDER’s national needs & asset assessment. Methods: CEDER staff and faculty trained in community-based participatory methods developed a survey and outreach plan from March-June 2024. Materials were shared in advance of and during 5 PH and SC meetings; two 1.5 hour listening sessions with 12 community-based and academic partners from varied geographical locations and experience with diverse populations; and were disseminated through partner networks to broaden reach/input. To increase accessibility, partners could share written or oral feedback. Feedback was iteratively synthesized and applied to improve relevance and acceptability of the materials and strategies. Results: Lessons learned were: 1) Include community members earlier in the development phase; 2) Include more iterations to incorporate feedback adequately; 3) Leverage non-traditional engagement methods, including informational videos and use of existing networks to boost participation from community-based organizations; and 4) Ensure materials language, tone, and content resonate with different audiences, which may require cultural and linguistic tailoring. Conclusion: Coordinating national efforts to assess diabetes equity research across diverse partners and underrepresented communities highlights challenges in community-partnered research. When developing materials, centers may benefit from implementing processes to better integrate and balance community participation and perspectives. Disclosure C. Cooper: None. T. Akintobi: None.

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
