Resource Core

资源核心的首要目标是使高质量的数据和专业知识， 对肌肉骨骼研究感兴趣的研究者社区。为此，我们有两个主要目标：1） 提供肌肉骨骼研究所需的数据，以及方法学专业知识和工具 解决手头的研究问题，2）确保数据，服务和研究产品 由资源核心维护的数据被广泛的调查人员和NIAMS研究所使用 社区资源核心支持访问一些现有的强大的，现成的肌肉骨骼 研究数据库。它还将促进访问数据库不是专门为肌肉骨骼设计的 研究，用于肌肉骨骼研究，如MarketScan索赔数据和 医疗保险和医疗补助服务数据（CMS）。这些数据集提供了各种各样的数据， NIAMS肌肉骨骼研究的使命，包括成像数据、临床数据和患者报告 结果。此外，资源中心将利用这些数据库在中心内进行分析， 为CCCR研究者提供进行重复或外部验证研究的途径。资源 核心将积极促进新的方法和生物统计工具和“产品”开发的 方法学核心和图像处理组。核心资源将继续（1）积极 让研究人员和临床医生利益相关者参与促进数据资源和服务的使用，以及（2） 通过各种渠道传播方法核心开发的研究产品， 研究人员和临床医生利益相关者。我们将使用反映使用的指标来跟踪核心的成功， 核心数据、服务和研究产品，包括提交和资助的赠款数量， 出版物和当前项目。资源核心还将为一个由以下人员领导的充实计划做出贡献： 行政核心，其中包括可能由NIAMS资助的研究人员的试点和可行性奖励， 未来，与中心的资源和重点领域有关的科学网络研讨会，以及年度访问 由Methodologic Core组织的科学家计划。

The overarching goal of the Resource Core is to make high quality data and expertise accessible to a broad community of investigators interested in musculoskeletal research. To that end, we have two main aims: 1) to provide access to data needed for musculoskeletal research, as well as the methodologic expertise and tools to address the research questions at hand, and 2) to ensure that the data, services, and research products maintained by the Resource Core are used by a broad range of investigators and the NIAMS research community. The Resource Core supports access to a number of existing robust, ready-to-use musculoskeletal research databases. It also will facilitate access to databases not specifically designed for musculoskeletal research, to be harnessed for musculoskeletal research, such as MarketScan Claims data and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services data (CMS). These datasets provide a wide variety of data relevant to the NIAMS mission of musculoskeletal research including imaging data, clinical data, and patient reported outcomes. Further, the Resource Core will conduct analyses within the Center using these databases to provide a pathway for CCCR investigators to conduct replication or external validation studies. The Resource Core will actively promote the novel methodologic and biostatistical tools and “products” developed by the Methodologic Core and Image Processing Group as well. The Resource Core will continue to (1) actively engage researcher and clinician stakeholders to promote the use of data resources and services, and (2) disseminate the research products developed by the Methodologic Core through channels that reach researcher and clinician stakeholders. We will track the Core’s success using metrics that reflect the use of Resource Core data, services, and research products, including the number of grants submitted and funded, publications, and current projects. The Resource Core will also contribute to an Enrichment Program, led by the Administrative Core, that includes Pilot and Feasibility awards for researchers likely to be NIAMS-funded in the future, scientific webinars related to the Center’s resources and focus areas, and an annual Visiting Scientist Program organized by the Methodologic Core.
