Resource Core

资源核心的首要目标是使广大用户能够获得高质量的数据和专业知识 对肌肉骨骼研究感兴趣的研究人员社区。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门知识和工具 解决手头的研究问题，以及2)确保数据、服务和研究产品 由资源核心维护，被广泛的调查人员和NIAMS研究使用 社区。该资源核心支持获取许多现有的坚固的、随时可用的肌肉骨骼 研究数据库。它还将方便访问非专门为肌肉骨骼设计的数据库 研究，用于肌肉骨骼研究，如MarketScan索赔数据和中心 联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务数据(CMS)。这些数据集提供了与 NIAMS的肌肉骨骼研究任务，包括成像数据、临床数据和患者报告 结果。此外，资源核心中心将使用这些数据库在中心内进行分析，以 为CCCR调查人员提供进行复制或外部验证研究的途径。《资源》 CORE将积极推广新的方法和生物统计工具以及由 还有方法论核心和图像处理小组。资源核心将继续(1)积极 让研究人员和临床医生利益相关方促进数据资源和服务的使用，以及(2) 通过以下渠道传播方法论核心开发的研究产品 研究人员和临床医生利益相关者。我们将使用反映以下使用情况的指标跟踪Core的成功 资源核心数据、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浓缩计划做出贡献，该计划由 行政核心，包括对可能得到NIAMS资助的研究人员的试点和可行性奖励 未来，与中心资源和重点领域有关的科学网络研讨会，以及每年一次的访问 由方法论核心组织的科学家计划。

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.
